AMPCAT-25 (cationic starch) has a cationic charge attached to it, which improves the internal strength properties of the paper by forming a strong bond between the fibers. The electro kinetic attraction promotes better contacts between the anionic cellulose fiber surfaces and the starch hydroxyls groups (Pre-gelatinized cationic starch also available).
Features:
- Improved effluent quality & reduced costs.
- Faster drainage & improved sheet formation.
- Increased internal strength properties & retention of fillers & fines.
- Reduces BOD in the mill effluent.
Applications:
- Paper Industry: It increases the retention of fillers & fines, improves the sheets strength properties at low cost. It is used 3 - 10 Kg per one ton paper pulp.
