Cationic Starch

Cationic starch is a modified form of starch which is added to a wet pulp to enhance the paper strength by attracting the negatively charged cellulose fiber of the pulp. The cationic starch mainly used as wet-end starch. It is used in paper & paper board manufacturing to increase Cationic Starch’s internal strength properties as well as retention of fillers & fines.

• Improves stiffness, opacity, printing quality and brightness.
• Improves paper machine run ability as well as productivity.
• Improves effluent quality and reduced cost.
• Reduced dusting, lining and size addition.
• Faster drainage & improved sheet formation.
• Decrease of the suspended solids in the final effluent.
