Product- AMPCAT-25(cationic starch)
Introduction:AMPCAT-25 (cationic starch) is a wet end starch used in paper & Paper Board Manufacturing to increase its internal strength properties as well as retention of fillers & fines.
Description: AMPCAT-25 (cationic starch) has a cationic charged attached to it, which improves the internal strength properties of the paper. The electro kinetic attraction promotes better contacts between the anionic cellulose fiber surfaces and the starch hydroxyls groups.
- Improved effluent quality & reduced costs.
- Faster drainage & improved sheet formation.
- Increased internal strength properties & retention of fillers & fines.
- Decrease of the suspended solids in the final effluent.
- Reduces BOD in the mill effluent.
