Our customers use Avebe products to mix paste for bill posting, target shooting, and wallpaper/murals.  There are many other fascinating uses for our products in the arts and craft industry as well as in the textile industry.   We even have an earth friendly product used in water treatment plants.  Modified potato starch is a renewable, sustainable, and biodegradable raw material with unique properties in viscosity, binding, tack, and film forming. 

By nature, starch from the potato has the highest wet tack of all starches.

Potato starch is also a natural polymer. Increasing it’s use reduces the long-term dependency on petroleum-based raw materials. Our raw material produces the "greenest adhesive on earth."
