Oxidized / Sizing Starch - the size press, when the paper sheet or board has been formed and partially dried, starch (generally oxidized or modified) is usually added to one or both sides of the paper sheet or board to improve the finish, appearance, strength, and printing properties;

❖ Cationic - Cationic starch can be added to paper making stock to improve the dry strength of the finished sheet, to improve the retention of fines and fillers, or for a combination of both of these. Cationic starch is preferred because the positive charge that has been introduced onto the starch molecule chain tends to form an electrostatic bond with negative charge sites on the fibers and fines. This in turn results in better retention of the starch in the paper web.

❖ Coating Starch - Key elements for any coating paper and board manufacturers are - the appearance and strength of the finished product. Coating color mix contains 3 basic components, namely, pigments, binders and water. The most common binder is starch. Starch is an excellent natural binder which is a reliable and cost effective choice for latex replacement.

❖ Dextrins - are a group of low-molecular-weight carbohydrates produced by the hydrolysis of starch and glycogen. Dextrins are used primarily as adhesives for the textiles & paper industry. We manufacture White and Yellow (or Canary) Dextrin
