Paper Starches
Derived from natural sources like corn, wheat, and potato, Our starches improve paper strength, surface smoothness for better printability, and overall quality. They are crucial additives for achieving desired paper properties in various applications, contributing to efficient and high-performance paper production.
Key Characteristics:
- Enhanced Strength: Improves tensile, tear, and burst resistance.
- Example Products: Shopping bags, industrial paper.
- Starch Example: Cationic starch.
- Improved Printability: Creates a smoother surface for better ink adhesion.
- Example Products: Printing paper, glossy magazines.
- Starch Example: Surface sizing starch (oxidized or enzyme-converted).
- Increased Stiffness: Provides better rigidity and handling properties.
- Example Products: Cardboard, packaging board.
- Starch Example: Wet-end starch (native or modified).
- Fibril Bonding: Promotes stronger fiber-to-fiber connections.
- Example Products: Tissue paper, paper towels.
- Starch Example: Wet-end starch (often cationic).
Packaging Starches
Our starches, often from corn, tapioca, and potato, act as effective adhesives for corrugated board, improve structural integrity, and can be used in sustainable, bio-based packaging materials like films and loose-fill.
They offer a natural and often biodegradable alternative for robust and environmentally conscious packaging solutions.
Key Characteristics:
- Strong Adhesion: Ensures reliable bonding in packaging structures.
- Example Products: Corrugated boxes, paper bags.
- Starch Example: Adhesive starch (often modified maize or wheat).
- Improved Rigidity: Enhances the stiffness and support of packaging.
- Example Products: Molded pulp containers, protective packaging.
- Starch Example: Thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends.
- Bio-based Potential: Contributes to sustainable and compostable options.
- Example Products: Biodegradable food trays, compostable films.
- Starch Example: Starch blended with PLA or PBAT.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for adhesives, coatings, and molded packaging.
- Example Products: Coated paperboard for food, starch-based loose fill.
- Starch Example: Modified starches for coatings, native starch for loose fill.
