Technical description
Modified Starch
Modified starches are functional starch derivatives developed to improve rheology, stabilization, binding and process performance in industrial applications. Produced through physical and chemical modification of natural starches, these products provide enhanced functionality compared to native starch. Depending on the modification type, they can deliver improved water solubility, viscosity control, film formation, suspension stability and fluid-loss reduction. These bio-based and renewable products provide cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions while improving manufacturing efficiency and formulation performance.
Applications
- Oil & gas drilling fluid systems
- Textile sizing and weaving preparation
- Paper and adhesives manufacturing
- Mining, detergents and construction chemicals
Key benefits
- Improved water solubility and viscosity control
- Film formation and suspension stability
- Fluid-loss reduction in process systems
- Cost-effective, bio-based and renewable performance
