Clinton 131 Corn Starch #028131 is an enzyme-converting starch containing an effective buffer system for optimum pH control that helps maintain efficient utilization of the enzyme during the conversion process. This ADM starch has been designed to be equally suitable for surface sizing and coating adhesive applications. For surface sizing operations, the enzyme-converted starch pastes are translucent and white and can be readily diluted to any desired concentration at the size press to produce the needed viscosity. For coating color adhesive operations, this product (with the appropriate enzyme dose) can produce a thin viscosity and consistently convert to the same viscosity each time. The resulting paste does not have an excessive reaction to plasticizers normally used in coating formulations. Therefore, good control of the final coating color viscosity is maintained. The resulting pastes of this product from both low and high solid enzyme conversion cycles have strong adhesive properties, which are suitable for mills making different grades of surface-sized or coated paper.

Finally, it is used in coating products to hide the irregularities of the surface and replace the natural macroporosity, giving an appropriate artificial microporosity for writing or printing.
