Westar+
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.

Westar+ offers these advantages

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
Readily dispersing 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 - No More Shortages
Corn starch does not suffer from periodic shortages as do the European potato starches, so you can confidently plan for ample supplies.
Reduces Costs
Our flake corn starch requires 30% less colloidal silica for optimum floccing so less binder is required, reducing formula cost.
