Jute Industry

Tamarind kernel powder is an important sizing material in jute industries; powder made from tamarind kernels is more efficient and economical than corn starch for sizing and finishing jute viscose as well as other technical advantages. The deep absorption property of tamarind kernel powder makes it useful in the process of jute sizing and cotton wraps. It also has excellent penetration & film forming property for the sizing of yarns.
Starch amide produced from Tamarind Kernel Powder is cooked along with dissolved ammonia in alkaline polyvinyl alcohol solution used in sizing of jute yarns resulting at least 2% increase in weaving efficiency.
