Smil-O-Cat is a cationic wet end starch used in paper & Paper Board Manufacturing to increase its internal strength properties as well as retention of fillers & fines.
Description :
Smil-O-Cat has a cationic charged attached to it, which improves the internal strength properties of the paper. The electrokinetic attraction promots a better contacts between the anionic cellulosic fibre 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.
