Pasting Gum Powder

Pasting Gum powder is used for the manufacture of Corrugated Box Manufacturing. Pasting Gum Powder which is manufactured by dry-roasting starch in the presence of an acid catalyst. The heating process of cold changes from high to moderate to maintain the viscosity.

Pasting Gum powder is available in two different Grades: Hot Process and Cold Process. In Hot process the powder has to be cooked with recommended ratio in water up to 800C to prepare the gum. The hot gum is highly recommended to use for the manufacture of corrugated boxes to get the better strength of boxes.

Due to high cost of electricity and time consuming the Pasting Gum has been converted from hot process to cold process. This Gum is being prepared by adding caustic solution in the mixture of starch with cold water and getting ready in a small period of time. Even the PH value is high in this gum; manufactures preferred the same for fast production and reduction of manufacturing cost.
