EVEROXI-OXIDISED STARCH (MODIFIED STARCH FOR PAPER SIZING)

·        EVEROXI is a modified maize starch (Oxidized starch) used for surface sizing operation during manufacturing of paper/board.

  ·  The use of Oxidized Starch in size solutions of high solids is to seal pores, tie down loose surface, fibers,improve surface strength and to provide hold out printing inks.

 ·    A higher concentration than acid thinned starches can be used for better finish of printing paper.

·        Solutions of Oxidized Starch are clearer than those of  acid thinned starches  and have less setback

·        EVEROXI has good paste stability, clarity and reduced tendency to retrograde. It has lower pasting temperature. It provides tough, clear and flexible films.

·        Pastes are more stable to salts and hard water  than pastes of cationic or other anionic starches.

ADVANTAGES:-

o   Improved print-ability and pigment coating

o   Improved brightness, smoothness

o   Improved surface strength and provides hold out of printing inks.
