Thin Boiling Starch (Paper Sizing & Textile)

Top Industry Applications & Pain Points

1. Paper Coating & Surface Sizing

• Pain Point : Native starches exhibit high, erratic viscosity and retrograde on heating, causing blade streaks, web breaks, and poor ink hold-out.
• Shalbond Solution : Controlled acid-hydrolysis delivers a consistent Brookfield viscosity ≤200 cP at 3% w/v (80 °C), non–gelatinizing behavior, and transparent films that boost gloss, wax pick resistance, and print sharpness.

2. Textile Warp Sizing

• Pain Point : Heavy sizing formulations overcoat yarns superficially, while low-viscosity pastes under-penetrate, leading to yarn breakage and loom stoppages.
• Shalbond Solution : Partially hydrolyzed starch with 80–200 cP apparent viscosity enables deep yarn penetration and uniform film, improving abrasion resistance by up to 20% and reducing warp breaks.

Why Choose Shalbond Thin Boiling Starch?

• Consistent Low Viscosity : Eliminates paste thickening or thinning over shifts.
• Superior Film & Print Quality : Transparent, flexible films for high-gloss, low-pick paper surfaces.
• Optimized Yarn Penetration : Deep, uniform sizing coverage for reduced breakage.
• Rapid, Lump-Free Mixing : Disperses fully in cold water within 3 minutes.
• Patented Hydrolysis Process : Balances molecular weight and granular integrity for stable performance.
• Technical Partnership : On-site trials and formulation tuning to match your machine speed, water quality, and substrate.
