Cationic flake corn starch | |
Westar+ Cationic Flake Corn Starch was developed specifically for floccing colloidal silica onto refractory fibers for bonding of vacuum formed composites and shapes. This starch is pre-cooked, dissolves readily in cold water, and offers advantages over potato starches. | |
|
|
More Uniform Coating and Floccing — | Corn flakes disperse
much faster than potato flakes, creating a more uniform product. |
Higher Green and Fired Strengths — | Corn starch micelles
are half the size of potato starch micelles, resulting in higher strength,
hardness, and density. |
No Pre-Dissolving or Cooking — | Readily dispersing
pre-gel flakes can be added dry directly to the slurry tank, providing more accurate
additions, reduced bacterial attack, and less labor and equipment. |
Made in the USA — | Corn starch does
not suffer from periodic shortages as do the European potato starches, so
you can confidently plan for ample supplies. |
