Applications
Starch for paper surface sizing.
At the size press, starch decides surface strength, printability and stiffness. Oxidised tapioca starch cooks to a clear, low-colour solution with stable viscosity at application solids and forms a flexible film that improves printability without brittleness.
What the size press demands
- 01Stable solution viscosity at application solids and temperature
- 02Clean film formation: surface strength and stiffness without brittleness
- 03Low colour and clean runnability at machine speed
- 04Lot-to-lot consistency, secured by a Certificate of Analysis per shipment
Our grades for this application
OLA-MTS-1
Oxidised Tapioca Starch 1
Standard viscosity, for typical size press solids.
OLA-MTS-2
Oxidised Tapioca Starch 2
High viscosity, where more film build is required.
