Adhesives & Glues: grip meets green

Industry topics

Bio-based starches designed for tack, process stability and lasting bonds.

Renewables, regulation, performance — adhesive manufacturers are navigating all three at once. End users push for lower-VOC, bio-based binders that run on high-speed converting and coating lines without compromise. Meanwhile, substrates diversify: lightweight packaging papers, engineered boards, nonwovens — each demanding adhesives that hold up under heat, stick across surfaces and still check the sustainability box.

Formulators need consistent bond performance across substrates, viscosity that stays predictable on high-speed lines and stable shelf life and pot life. The ingredients they reach for must be scalable and process-compatible, cut production costs as well as simplify storage and handling.

Starch-based building blocks for adhesive performance

Looking for plant-based binders that match demanding adhesive specifications? Our starch-derived ingredients form a flexible toolkit for adhesive manufacturers. They give you controlled grip where it counts, flow behavior that holds steady at speed and gelation profiles tailored to your line — from quick-setting label systems to heat-resistant corrugating formulations, with scalable supply and competitive production economics.

Starch Products

At the core of our adhesive range: plant-based binders built for viscosity control, fast setting and heat resistance. Bond strength that doesn't compromise on sustainability. From native starches for everyday adhesion to modified grades for demanding corrugating and sack lines — starch products cover the ground where reliability and sustainability meet.
