Cationic starch is modified from natural tapioca starch by reacting with a quaternary amine to add a positively charged ammonium group, then through the stages of bleaching, washing, filtering, drying and bagging. This product complies with industrial hygiene and human health safety standards.
Benefits of using Cationic starch:
- Adding cationic starch when applying internal glue will improve the glue efficiency for the main glue in all cases of alkaline, acidic or neutral glue.
- Increased retention for short fibers, fine fillers and additives. Improves bonding force between fiber and filler.
- Increase the mechanical strength of the paper (tensile strength, folding resistance, tear resistance, burst resistance, breaking resistance)
- Acts as a dry fastener.
- Improve the smoothness and gloss of the paper surface, limit the phenomenon of fiber peeling, surface ruffle.
- Stable waterproofing when used with the main glue in the system.
