Advantages :
This starch is specially developed for high speed film/metering size press through which white paper for writing, printing and Xerox (map litho) papers are made. It has more binding power due to the larger Amylopectin molecules. It also has good penetrating capacity inside the paper layer which increases the strength and smoothness of paper. It gives almost zero porosity during surface sizing due to uniform thin film formation. (Based on paper thickness, 20 – 40 kg of this cooked starch can be applied over 40,000 m2 area of paper without porosity). Due to clear and transparent paste, the whiteness and sheen of paper is not affected. It has good runnability due to its free flowing nature and do not cause splashing in the size press. It has stable viscosity and very low rate of retro gradation of the paste above 40 °C.
