Overview:

Established in 1941, Sayaji Industries Limited (SIL) is the flagship company of the Sayaji Group.

SIL started as corn wet milling Unit with a modest corn crushing capacity of one Ton/Day in Ahmedabad, mainly to cater to its own textile Units besides the other textile units located in the city. It has gradually developed facilities to manufacture modified starches and other derivatives like liquid glucose, dextrose monohydrate, dextrose anhydrous, sorbitol etc and is amongst the front runners in the corn wet milling business.

TEXTILES

Maize Starch is used in paper industry for sizing as well as to increase the paper strength. The purpose of size press application is to improve appearance and eras ability ink penetration and form a hard firm surface for writing or Printing, to produce surface fiber picking, and to prepare the sheet for subsequent coating. Corn Starch is used as an adhesive in pigmented coating for paper and paper board.

PAPER AND GYPSUM

Maize Starch is used in textile industry to provide stiffness & to add weight to clothes. Our range of modified starches are extensively used in textile application starting from yarn sizing to surface sizing of clothes. Our textile products have appropriate viscosity, penetration power and adequate coating efficiency. Our starch gives excellent performance and this has been our back bone for the last 75 years.

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

We manufacture pharmaceutical grade starches of IP & BP grades for a number of applications like tablets manufacturing, coating and capsules covering amongst others. We were the first company in India accredited with import substitution award to manufacture the lifesaving drug Dextrose Anhydrous. IP/BP Dextrose Anhydrous is a basic raw material for glucose saline injection which prevents dehydration in critical conditions like excessive blood loss, diarrhoea, heat stroke and post-surgery conditions where oral administration is not possible.

CONSUMER PRODUCTS

One of the most sought-after products which are used in one or the other form in our day-to-day life is Sorbitol. This product is extensively used in toothpaste, skin cream foundations, toilet soaps, cigarettes, foods, confectionery, cosmetics, textile, adhesives and printing ink to name a few. Sorbitol gives up water very slowly in dry atmosphere and it takes up water very slowly in humid atmosphere which helps retain the products’ freshness for a very long time and acts as a humectant.
