The papermaking industry uses starch, both as a wet-end additive and as a rheological modifier in surface sizing and coating colors. It is important to be able to reduce the amount of chemicals used in the papermaking and surface treatment process, to reduce costs and to make the process even more efficient. By our specialty starches for paper applications, improved recycling of barrier products may be obtained with reduction in the use of synthetic sizing agents.

Sizing starch increases strength and enhance other operational parameters; spraying starch improves paper physicals and; while its usage at wet-end, boosts performance with cost optimization.
