A blend mixed by hand varies with the operator, the weather and the batch of starch that arrived that week. Warp breaks follow, and the loom stops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-prose\">Alpenol was built to take that variance out. We cook the compound ourselves, on native maize starch modified in our own plant, and ship it ready to use. The mill weighs one product instead of four, and the sizing box behaves the same way every shift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-prose\">Founded in 1988, and more than 35 years on, that thinking runs through every grade we make, from heavy denim warps to fine shirting counts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;al-sec al-sec&#8211;ink&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#232020&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;64px||64px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;64px||64px||true|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; width=&#8221;1312px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1312px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;@media (max-width: 767px) {||  .al-dstat__n {||    font-size: 48px ;||  }||  .al-dstats{||    margin-top:0px !important;||gap:16px;||  }||}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"al-eyebrow al-eyebrow--green\">CAPACITY AND FACILITY<\/p>\n<div class=\"al-dstats\" style=\"margin-top:40px;\">\n<div class=\"al-dstat\">\n<div class=\"al-dstat__n\">Vapi<\/div>\n<div class=\"al-dstat__l\">single manufacturing site, Gujarat<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"al-dstat\">\n<div class=\"al-dstat__n\">21M+ kg<\/div>\n<div class=\"al-dstat__l\">supplied to mills annually<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"al-dstat\">\n<div class=\"al-dstat__n\">50+<\/div>\n<div class=\"al-dstat__l\">mills served across 22 markets<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_class=&#8221;al-sec&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;96px||96px||true|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;96px||96px||true|false&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; width=&#8221;1312px&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1312px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||true|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.9&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;@media (max-width: 767px) {||  .al-prose {||   margin-top:12px !important ;||  }||} ||    ||&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"al-media2\">\n<div class=\"al-media2__m\"><img class=\"al-img\" src=\"https:\/\/alpenol.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/alpenol-pva-thesis.jpg\" alt=\"Woven fabric after desizing\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"460\" style=\"border-radius:14px;object-fit:cover;aspect-ratio:600\/460;\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"al-media2__b\">\n<p class=\"al-eyebrow\">THE CASE FOR REPLACING PVA<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"al-h-sm\">Cleaner desizing, and a lighter effluent load<\/h2>\n<p class=\"al-prose\" style=\"margin-top:32px;\">PVA sizes well and desizes badly.
