Manufacturing Process

Water Phase

  1. Heat Aqua to 70°C in a stainless-steel jacketed vessel.
  2. Add Sodium Alginate slowly while stirring continuously using a high-shear mixer until fully dissolved.

Binding Phase

  1. Gradually introduce Zea Mays (Corn) Starch while maintaining temperature and stirring until a homogenous mixture is formed.
  2. Add Glycerin and mix thoroughly for 10 minutes at 60°C.

Final Processing

  1. Incorporate Citric Acid and Calcium Carbonate, ensuring consistent mixing with a medium-speed mixer for 20 minutes.
  2. Cool the mixture to 35°C and perform a quality control check for pH balance and viscosity.

Usage Instructions

Apply a uniform layer of the adhesive to the desired fabric area. Allow a 5-minute open time for optimal positioning. Press and hold fabrics together for 30 seconds to ensure strong adhesion.
