Dextrin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Starch Gum
Dextrin supplier for adhesive, paper, textile, mining, food and feed buyers in Malaysia. Also called starch gum, dextrin is a starch-derived powder family selected by conversion type, colour, solubility, viscosity and binding performance rather than by one universal specification.
White dextrin provides a light-coloured option for food, pharmaceutical, paper and textile formulations. Yellow dextrin is widely selected for wet tack and fast dispersion in paper and board adhesives, while British gum serves binder systems where its darker colour and solution behaviour are suitable.
Food and feed grades act as binders, carriers, stabilisers or formulation aids when their source and quality controls match the application. Industrial grades also support paper coating, textile sizing, mineral flotation and selected construction formulations, and they remain distinct from maltodextrin, native starch and other modified starch products.
Send the required grade, starch source if relevant, viscosity, solubility and colour targets, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery timing and the dextrin price are confirmed with a quotation carrying a stated validity period.

Dextrin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| White dextrin | white to cream free-flowing powder | — | Food and pharmaceutical formulation, paper coating, textile sizing and adhesive systems where light colour and controlled solubility or viscosity are required. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Yellow dextrin | pale-yellow to yellow powder | — | Paper and board adhesives, labels, envelopes, gumming and industrial binder systems that require rapid wetting, tack and water dispersibility. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| British gum dextrin | tan to light-brown powder | — | Binder and adhesive formulations where darker colour is acceptable and the required solution viscosity or film behaviour matches a British gum grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Food-grade dextrin | white to cream powder | — | Binder, carrier, stabiliser, thickener or formulation aid in suitable foods, beverages, supplements and dry mixes when a food-grade specification is stated. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Feed-grade dextrin | cream to pale-yellow powder | — | Binder, carrier and carbohydrate feed material for compound animal and aquaculture feed where the nutritional and microbiological specification is set by the formulator. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry area and protect the powder from moisture, contamination and dust release. Follow the storage and handling information supplied with the quoted grade.
Common questions about dextrin
What is the difference between white dextrin, yellow dextrin and British gum?
They are starch-conversion grades with different colour, solubility, viscosity, tack and film behaviour. White dextrin suits lighter-coloured formulations, yellow dextrin is widely used for fast-wetting adhesives and binders, and British gum serves applications where its darker colour and solution profile are acceptable.
Is dextrin the same as maltodextrin?
No. Both are derived from starch, but maltodextrin is normally selected by its controlled hydrolysis and dextrose-equivalent profile for food and formulation use. Dextrin includes heat-converted grades chosen for adhesive, binder, sizing, thickening and process performance.
Is dextrin the same as native or modified starch?
No. Dextrin is produced by partial conversion of starch and has different molecular size, solubility and adhesive behaviour. Native starch and other modified starches have their own processing routes and specifications, so buyers should name the material used in the existing formula.
Which dextrin grade should I request for paper or adhesive production?
State the substrate, application method, solids level, target viscosity, wet tack, drying speed, film colour and remoistenability if relevant. These details help distinguish white, yellow and British gum grades more reliably than colour alone.
What controls matter for food, pharmaceutical or feed dextrin?
Provide the starch source, grade, viscosity or solubility range, moisture, ash, reducing-sugar and microbiological limits, together with required product documents. Suitability is assessed against the finished formulation specification.
What information is needed for a dextrin price quotation?
Send the dextrin type, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation needs so availability and commercial details can be confirmed with the quotation.
