Smilox-M is a variable viscosity modified starch ideally suitable for surface sizing and coating of quality papers.
Description :
Starch is hydrolysed under controlled conditions to achieve desired viscosity, molecule size and weight then hydroxyl group of starch are reacted to have sufficient acetyl groups to prevent retrogeation and to have excellent film properties. The Smilox-M is more stable and maintains constant viscosity over extended period as compared to normal Starch. With this product effect of temperature is not as Critical or sensitive as with other starch modification. This starch allows moderate fluctuation in operating temperature without need to compensate for thicker or thinner flow. By combining all these efficient working characteristics with excellent film properties Smilox-M has established new standards of specialty Starch performance for the paper industry.
Paste stability
Clarity and reduced tendency to retrogradation.
Lower pasting temperature.
Provides tough clear and flexible films.
Pastes are more stable to salts and harder than pastes of cationic or anionic starches.
