Clinton 277 Acid Modified Industrial Corn Starch #028277 is a low-viscosity, acid-modified starch that is employed by the paper and textile industries for size applications, particularly at high temperatures. A benefit of this product is that the hot paste is less viscous than that of an unmodified starch, and at elevated temperatures, the pastes are slightly clearer. For most applications, it is desirable to hold this paste at high temperatures to prevent excessive setback. When dried, this starch forms tough, opaque films that withstand the physical tests characteristic of the paper industry, such as the tensile, Mullen, and wax pick tests.

Clinton 240 Acid Modified Industrial Corn Starch #028240 is a medium-viscosity, acid-modified starch that is employed by the paper and textile industries for size applications, particularly at high temperatures. A benefit of this product is that the hot paste is less viscous than that of an unmodified starch, and at elevated temperatures, the pastes are slightly clearer. For most applications, it is desirable to hold this paste at high temperatures to prevent excessive setback. When dried, this starch forms tough, opaque films that withstand the physical tests characteristic of the paper industry, such as the tensile, Mullen, and wax pick tests.

Clinton 130 Corn Starch #028130 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.

Clinton 260 Acid Modified Industrial Corn Starch #028260 is a medium-viscosity, acid-modified starch that is employed by the paper and textile industries for size applications, particularly at high temperatures. A benefit of this product is that the hot paste is less viscous than that of an unmodified starch, and at elevated temperatures, the pastes are slightly clearer. For most applications, it is desirable to hold this paste at high temperatures to prevent excessive setback. When dried, this starch forms tough, opaque films that withstand the physical tests characteristic of the paper industry, such as the tensile, Mullen, and wax pick tests.

Clinton 106 Corn Starch #028106 is one of a series of unmodified starches manufactured by ADM. This product is exceptionally well suited for use in corrugating adhesives and thermal or chemical conversion processes. It has a high viscosity with a good body at both high and low solids, which allows it to be a versatile ingredient with numerous industrial applications. This starch product displays properties typical of thick, unmodified, boiling starches. As a converted starch paste, it maintains strong adhesive properties that can be used very efficiently in the surface sizing of paper. Furthermore, this product can be used in both primary and secondary portions of adhesive formulations.
