Some see potato, we see potential!
Wallpaper adhesive
The Solvitose® wallpaper adhesive range dissolves easily to a lump-free paste, with excellent slide and adhesion for paper and vinyl textile wall coverings. It is pH neutral and compliant with current EU legislation on preservatives. Available in grades covering European, US and Asia-Pacific requirements.
Building and construction
Our Solvitose® solutions act as thickeners and rheology modifiers in cement and gypsum-based mortars and plasters. Key benefits include anti-sag performance in renders and skim coats, anti-slip in tile adhesives, extended open time, and improved pumpability in spray-on mortars.

Solvitose® Greenmelt is a patented starch-based adhesive with dual bonding: gelling followed by drying. Applicable as a liquid adhesive, remoistenable film, or heat-pressure sealable film. It is biodegradable, compostable, food-grade and cold-resistant to below -20°C.
