Hebei Yihang Deformation Starch Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of hydroxypropyl starch, introduces what Hebei Yihang Deformation Starch is, its advantages, and applications. Hydroxypropyl starch is a white or pale white powder with no peculiar odor. It is insoluble in cold water and can gelatinize into a thick, somewhat translucent colloidal substance under heating conditions, with good stability.

The benefits of hydroxypropyl starch

　　●Excellent rapid thickening capability; moderate viscosity with high water retention.

　　● Low dosage required; high efficacy can be achieved with very low addition rates.

　　● Can be used with methylcellulose (MCOr hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)Enhanced compatibility, reduced consumption of cellulose ether.

　　Enhanced overall material sag resistance, preventing downward (sliding) flow during material application or bonding with other materials.

　　●Excellent lubricity, enhancing material operability for smoother handling.

Hydroxypropyl starch applications
