Applications
Internal Bond Strength
It improves the bonding between fibers, leading to higher burst strength and internal bond strength.
Retention Aid
Modified tapioca starch acts as a retention aid, helping to retain fine particles and fillers within the paper matrix, improving paper uniformity.
Drainage Improvement
It enhances the drainage of water from the pulp slurry, speeding up the paper-making process and reducing energy consumption.
Enhanced Dry Strength
It significantly increases the dry strength of paper, making it more durable and less prone to tearing.
Wet End Solution
In the wet end of paper production, Cationic and Amphoteric modified tapioca starches are added to the pulp slurry to enhance paper strength and improve process efficiency.

Softness
Our modified starches are designed to enhance the softness of tissue paper, providing a gentle touch for facial tissues and other sensitive applications.
Absorbency
Our starches enhance the absorbency of tissue paper, allowing it to quickly soak up liquids and maintain its integrity.
Absorbency
Improving the ability of tissue paper to absorb liquids quickly and efficiently.
Strength
Modified starch solutions improve the strength of tissue paper, enhancing its durability and resistance to tearing.
Linting
By reducing linting, our starch solutions ensure a cleaner user experience and improve the overall quality of tissue products.
Strength
Enhancing the tensile strength and tear resistance of tissue paper for durability.
Linting
Minimizing linting to ensure a clean and comfortable user experience.
Tissue
Improving tissue production starts in the wet-end with our ready-to-use additive solutions, offering benefits such as enhanced dry strength, reduced linting and dusting, and the use of less costly, recycled pulp without sacrificing quality. While wet-end starch may decrease softness, this can be offset by reducing tissue furnish refining.
Wet-end starch improves paper strength through hydrogen bonding during drying and enhances drainage and fines retention through flocculation. The BENECOAT Series, a modified tapioca starch, is easy to use in wet-end processes, enhancing internal bonding, reducing paper dust, and lowering furnish costs by enabling the use of alternative fiber grades.
