Products in Paper & Pulp Chemicals: Sustainable Packaging

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.

Clinton 441 Oxidized Corn Starch #028441 is specifically processed to produce a superior converting starch that is well suited to the thermal converting techniques used in paper mill operations. When jet-cooked, the resulting paste displays a low viscosity and a clear appearance. It maintains desirable characteristics with a low setback rate, such as the white color and minimal residue. When dried, this starch forms clear, strong films that withstand the physical tests characteristic of the paper industry, such as the tensile, Mullen, and wax pick tests.

Clin-Cat 830 Cationic Corn Starch #028830 is specifically prepared 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 and can be used for ASA-size emulsification. It also exhibits improved retention of fine fibers and sheet strength (i.e., burst strength and Scott bond) and is suitable for use at any paper furnish pH.

Clinton 444 Oxidized Corn Starch #028444 is specifically processed to produce a superior converting starch that is well suited to the thermal converting techniques used in paper mill operations. When jet-cooked, the resulting paste displays a low viscosity and a clear appearance. It maintains desirable characteristics with a low setback rate, such as the white color and minimal residue. When dried, this starch forms clear, strong 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.

Clinton 608 Industrial Corn Starch #028608 is a crosslinked starch that is designed to provide the viscosity characteristics needed in the manufacture of ceiling tiles. This product provides a peak viscosity that is higher than unmodified starches with minimal peak viscosity breakdown. It improves ceiling tile texture and reduces edge slumping.

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 442 Oxidized Corn Starch #028442 is specifically processed to produce a superior converting starch that is well suited to the thermal converting techniques used in paper mill operations. When jet-cooked, the resulting paste displays a low viscosity and a clear appearance. It maintains desirable characteristics with a low setback rate, such as the white color and minimal residue. When dried, this starch forms clear, strong films that withstand the physical tests characteristic of the paper industry, such as the tensile, Mullen, and wax pick tests.
