Paper/Cardboard/Bioplastic:

Cationic and Native Potato starches are important components in paper and board production. Starches can be used in three phases of the production process: at the wet end, at the size press or during the coating operation. Potato Starch is especially good for use in office paper because it has the highest whiteness of all starches. In addition, Potato Starch is used as an adhesive in the corrugated board industry because of its low gelling temperature and strong gelling strength. Aside from the paper and board applications, Potato Starch is used in Bioplastics, Textile, Gypsum Board, Oil Drilling and many other applications.
