Zeba® is a unique superabsorbent polymer based on natural cornstarch, making it biodegradable, nontoxic and odourless. As a starch-based polymer, Zeba® is made up of glucose molecules, which are linked together chemically to become a water-insoluble, net-like matrix in the form of a hydrogel that holds and releases water for use by plants as needed. Zeba® works like a sponge under the soil, holding 400 times its weight in water and releases up to 95% of water and nutrients back to the plant as needed. This reduces plant stress and therefore increases quality and yield.
Since those formative years, Tongaat Hulett Starch has traced a path of growth and technical development which has seen it rise to a position where today it can hold its own against the world’s leading manufacturers. More importantly, however, is that Tongaat Hulett Starch is a vital contributor to the South African economy supplying products to a wide and diverse range of industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, textile, paper converting, paper making, adhesives and spray drying.
Our products manufactured at our five South African facilities are essential ingredients in the manufacture of thousands of products, used by hundreds of different companies, in as many industries.
Our world class milling facilities are located in Kliprivier, Germiston and Meyerton – in Gauteng, and in Bellville – in the Western Cape. Our dedicated Sorbitol facility is located in Chloorkop, also in Gauteng.
In supplying a diverse range of products, to an equally diverse range of clients and industries, we have a lasting and far-reaching impact on the lives of millions of consumers across the African continent and around the world. Tongaat Hulett Starch is Africa’s premier producer of starch and glucose and we touch lives.
