Clin-Cat 839 Cationic Corn Starch #028839

1 of 8 products in this brand
Clin-Cat 839 Cationic Corn Starch #028839 is specifically prepared with the addition of adipic acid to produce a superior starch for the internal sizing of paper. This product can improve the retention of fillers such as titanium dioxide, calcium carbonate, and clay. It can also improve the retention of fine fibers and sheet strength (i.e., burst strength and Scott bond). This cationic corn starch is derivatized using a quaternary amine. Since its cationic charge is observed over a wide pH range, it can be suitable for either acidic or alkaline papermaking systems.
