Unisol B160 (Fully Oxidise Starch)

UniSol B 160 is a modified maize starch having good adhesive & cohesive property for coating and surface sizing.

Properties

• Good paste stability, clarity and reduced tendency to retrograde.
• Lower pasting temperature.
• Provides tough, clear and flexible films.
• Pastes are more stable to salts and hard water than pastes of cationic or other anionic star hes.

Application
The use of Unisol B160 in size solutions of high solids to seal pores, tie down loose surface, fibres, improve surface strength and to provide hold out printing inks.

Advantage
UniSol B 160 provides the paper maker:-

• Improved printability and pigment coating
• Improved brightness, smoothness
• Improved surface strength and provides hold out of printing inks

 
Preparation : UniSol B 160 is slurried in cold water till free of lumps at desired solids. The slurry can be cooked either by direct steam injection or in jacketed cooker, along with agitation to 95°C for about 20 Minutes. When using a continuous jet cooker the starch slurry is heated to 100 to 105°C
