A malto-dextrin composition with low DE value and low viscosity and the method for making the same is provided. The malto-dextrin comprises a blue value in the range of 0.02 to 0.28; a dextrose equivalent (DE) in the range of 3 to 10; and a viscosity lower than 26.3185*DE{circumflex over ( )}(−0.7593). The method for preparing the malto-dextrin composition comprises: dispersing raw starch in water to obtain a starch-water slurry; preheating the starch-water slurry with a jet-cooker for a first duration at a first temperature above 100° C. having a temperature variation no more than 0.8° C.; hydrolyzing the slurry by treating the slurry with α-amylases for a second duration at a second temperature; and filtering the hydrolyzed slurry to remove insoluble residual proteins and fibers and obtain an un-fractionated malto-dextrin composition.

Provided is a method for preparing a latex composition for dip forming, the method including: (a) preparing a monomer mixture including a conjugated diene-based monomer, an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer and an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer; (b) introducing starch, an emulsifier and an inorganic solvent into the monomer mixture; and (c) preparing a copolymer latex by introducing a polymerization initiator, wherein the copolymer includes the starch in a main chain thereof.

A powder spray device includes a funnel member, a first three-way joint, an air-current supply tube, a discharge tube, a vibration motor, a bypass air-current tube, and a switching mechanism. The first three-way joint has a first opening connected to an outlet at a lower end of the funnel member. The air-current supply tube and discharge tube are respectively connected to second and third openings of the first three-way joint. The vibration motor is fixed onto an outer surface of a funnel body of the funnel member. The bypass air-current tube branches off from the air-current supply tube and is connected to the discharge tube. The switching mechanism switches from and to standby state, in which compressed gas is sent only through the bypass air-current tube, to and from spray-coating state, in which compressed gas is sent out through the air-current supply tube, and also through the bypass air-current tube.
