SUGGESTED USE LEVELS, AS SUPPLIED
Aqueous emulsion systems: 1% - 10%
Ointments: Up to 30%
Dry powder applications: 5% to 50%
FORMULATION GUIDELINES
For use in the powder form the TAPIOCA PURE starch can be handled similar to any organic
particulate. For use in emulsion systems the TAPIOCA PURE starch should be added to the
formula after the emulsion is formed at temperatures below 40°C to avoid swelling of the starch.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
TAPIOCA PURE starch should be stored in a cool, dry location away from heat, sparks or fire.Good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when working with this starch.
Because TAPIOCA PURE starch is sterilized via irradiation for highest purity, care should be
taken to avoid contamination once the package is open.
Please read the MSDS before working with this or any other chemical.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
A health and safety summary for TAPIOCA PURE starch is available on request.
Information on TAPIOCA PURE starch relating to EU Cosmetic Directive 76/768/EEC is
available upon request.
TAPIOCA PURE has not been tested on animals. It is not obtained from genetically modified
organisms (GMO).
The suitability of the final formulations should be confirmed in all respect by appropriate
evaluation. The marketer is advised to evaluate the final formulation with regard to performance
and health safety.

GMO STATUS for the Personal CareProducts
Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry – Personal Care is offering starch-based polymers
under an "Identity Preserved Program".
Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry – Personal Care is supplying non-GM starch products
(Personal Care ingredients list is attached) from its European, Brazilian and USA
manufacturing plants under an Identity Preserved Program. This is possible because there
has been a thorough screening of the raw materials, supply chain and manufacturing
processes. Steps taken to assure Identity Preservation include: ensuring that the farmers
know the origin of the seed they plant, documenting data on the storage and handling of the
grain, and testing composite samples of incoming grain into the production sites. We can
demonstrate that the European, Brazilian and USA manufacturing plants can consistently
supply non-GM starches from all starch bases.
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is used to verify that the Identity Preserved
Program is in compliance with 0.9% maximum limit for GM material detectable in non-GMagriculturally derived products (global acceptance of a 0.9% maximum limit for GM material
detectable in non-GM agriculturally derived products).
It should also be noted that confusion has arisen over the use of the terms “Corn Starch-
Modified” or “Modified Starch.” These terms refer to a chemical or physical modification
processes and have no connection to genetic modification.
