Joss Powder (36 Cups) High Quality – The Perfect Binding Agent for Agarbatti Incense Sticks

Joss Powder plays the “soul” role in the incense stick, determining its plasticity, toughness, ash retention ability, and product stability during manufacturing and use.

Vdex supplies Joss Powder (36 Cups) – a grade of binder with one of the strongest viscosities and binding forces, refined from the natural bark of the Litsea Glutinosa tree. This is the ideal choice for professional Agarbatti incense manufacturers, helping to optimize formulas, reduce raw material costs, and ensure consistent incense quality output.

1. Outstanding Features of 36 Cups Joss Powder

The 36 Cups classification is not just a technical index but a commitment to maximum binding performance:

Superior Viscosity and Strong Binding Force

The lower the “Cups” index, the higher the viscosity (binding strength). Joss Powder 36 Cups offers outstanding viscosity, providing the ability to:

• Ensure Excellent Plasticity: Helps the incense powder mixture (including Charcoal and Wooden Powders) achieve the ideal pliability, making it easy to extrude without breakage.
• Prevent Cracking and Breakage: Enhances the toughness and mechanical strength of the incense stick after drying, significantly reducing the damage rate during transportation and packaging.

Beautiful Ash Retention and Safety

The 36 Cups Joss Powder aids in ash retention after burning, supporting the creation of the desirable curling ash (tàn cong) type of incense popular in the market.

• Low Ash: Increases the binding ability of powder particles even after combustion, preventing ash scatter and maintaining cleanliness.
• Natural Composition: Extracted 100% from the natural bark of the Litsea Glutinosa tree, free from harmful chemicals, ensuring consumer health safety.

2. Economic Benefits for Production

Investing in high-quality Joss Powder like the 36 Cups grade is a smart economic strategy:

Raw Material Cost Savings

Due to its strong binding ability, manufacturers only need to use a smaller amount of Joss Powder compared to lower viscosity grades to achieve the desired pliability and strength.

• Optimal Usage Ratio: Just 11-12 kgs of Joss Powder is typically required per 100 kgs of other premixed powder components to achieve the necessary consistency.

Enhanced Quality and Production Efficiency

• Minimizing Defects: Consistent plasticity ensures stable extruder operation, reducing machine jams and defects like bent or cracked incense sticks.
• Increased Competitiveness: The finished incense sticks boast high straightness, minimal breakage, and beautiful ash, helping your product stand out in the market.

3. Usage and Storage Instructions

To maximize the effectiveness of 36 Cups Joss Powder, please note the following:

1. Mixing Ratio: Balance the amount of Joss Powder based on the quality of your Charcoal/Wooden Powder and the required stick toughness. A common starting ratio is 10% – 12% of the total dry powder weight.
2. Liquid Agent: Always use clean water to dissolve the Joss Powder.
3. Storage: Seal the packaging tightly after use and store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
