Product Overview

Lancer Corn Starch is a versatile lab-grade reagent highly valued for educational and experimental demonstrations in chemistry and materials science:

• In academic labs, it’s perfect for illustrating non‑Newtonian fluid behavior—as in the classic oobleck experiment where corn starch mixed with water transitions between solid and liquid states depending on applied stress.

• In educational demonstrations, it plays a key role in diffusion labs: when corn starch is exposed to iodine, diffusion produces a dramatic purple color change—helping students visualize molecular movement.

• In research or polymer study environments, corn starch serves as a natural biodegradable polymer to explore gel formation, prototype non-toxic bioplastics, and examine material properties using simple lab techniques.

FAQs

1. What laboratory demonstrations is corn starch ideal for?
   It excels in non‑Newtonian fluid experiments (like oobleck) and diffusion models demonstrating concentration gradients.
2. Can it mimic real polymer behavior?
   Yes, it acts as a natural polymer in gel formation and eco-friendly plastic prototypes, showing polymeric properties in an analog model.
3. Is it suitable for student experimenting?
   Absolutely—it’s non-toxic, visually engaging, and safe, making it ideal for hands-on student demonstrations.
4. How should it be stored?
   Keep it in a sealed, dry container to protect against moisture absorption and preserve powder consistency.
5. Why choose Lancer’s corn starch?
   Lancer ensures laboratory-grade purity, consistent texture, and reliability for educational and experimental accuracy.
