Native cornstarch is pure white starch, obtained during the corn wet-milling. Due to its adhesive properties, is the basis for glue in the production of corrugated cardboard and imparts the necessary strength characteristics to fabrics. It is used for printing on textile and paper products (the paint is laid flat and does not spread over the product). Native corn starch is used in dressing and sizing, in the production of building materials and a variety of means for economic use.
