However, no single natural adhesive has ideal properties." From this it appears that for sizing the yarn, materials like starch, gum and cellulose are required. The Tribunal, however, has observed that all these manufacturing items have been mentioned in the registration certificate but that is not ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X
