	Do you know Corn flour is added as filler in Lenior Low density polyethylene? US company has started recently to reduce the raw material cost. This LLDPE is a roto grade and will be used to produce Storage tanks, furnitures, toys, kid's small swiming pools.... and so on...

	The use of starches and other fillers are quite common in the manufacture of LLDPE. They add strength or other needed characteristics. Are you stating that this is a particular issue or problem in some way? __________________ Off to take on other challenges. Good luck everybody! See you around the Interwebs.

	Hi Chris, I am an Indian,presently in Nigeria and in the palstic feild for 15 years. It is not commen practice commercially vaiable to blend starches in this part of the world --(AFRICA). Other fillers.... yes- we do for the manu. of Color concentration but not starch. I want to know the specification for the startch filler, other chemicals (like Elastomer) added to increase stength and up to what percentage of blend. Do you have this info? Thanks for answering my comments.........Karan __________________ Send me all new Engg ideas & news......I will be your best friend-------KARAN

	If you are purchasing this material to produce "Storage tanks, furnitures, toys, kid's small swiming pools.... and so on...", then you should go directly to the supplier, since different suppliers may add different fillers to achieve the same end product. If you are concerned about using potential food products as plastics fillers, then there may be other fillers which could be substituted. The supplier can help here, too. Not sure waht you real concern is.

	What I Used: Cooked Basmati rice - 2 cups Chopped carrots - 1/2 cup Chopped beans - 1/2 cup Chopped onions - 1/2 cup Capsicum - half of a medium sized one Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp Soy sauce - 2 tbsp Pepper - 2-3 tsp Oil - 2 tbsp Salt - to taste How I Made It: 1. Heat the oil in a pan and lightly saute the onions till translucent. 2. Add the ginger garlic paste and fry for another minute. 3. Now add the carrots and beans and keep frying till the vegetables are half cooked. 4. Next add the capsicum and pepper and mix well. 5. Increase the heat to maximum and pour the soy sauce in, stirring continuously. Keep stirring for 10-15 seconds and then lower the heat. 6. Add the cooked rice with required salt and mix well. Let it fry for another 3-4 mins and then remove. Baby Corn Manchurian
