Maize Starch Powder

Maize starch is widely used in the paper industry as a natural binder and strength enhancer. It is added at the wet end to improve fiber bonding and sheet strength, used in surface sizing to enhance smoothness and ink holdout, and applied in paper coatings as a binder for pigments. It also helps retain fillers like calcium carbonate and improves internal sizing for better water resistance. Maize starch increases dry strength, printability, opacity, and brightness while reducing dusting and linting, making it a cost-effective and biodegradable additive for various paper grades.

Internal Sizing

Maize starch is used in internal sizing to improve the paper’s resistance to liquid penetration and enhance fiber bonding during the wet-end process.

Paper Coating (Regular And Color)

Maize starch is widely used as a binder and viscosity modifier in both regular (white) and color paper coating applications.
