LIQUIBOND™
Ready to use cationic, amphoteric, or anionic starch-based dry strength enhancer. 
+ View Details

WESTECH®
A surface applied cationic potato starch for paper grades that require superior film forming properties such as increased surface strength, lower size-press solids, greater brightness and opacity.
+ View Details

WESCOTE™  
Highly derivatized starch for use as a coating/size press additive.  Characteristics include water holdout similar to CMC and the strength of synthetic binders while forming a very flexible film at a lower cost than CMC or synthetic binders.

The molecular weight of the potato amylose molecule is five times greater than that of corn.

A higher Molecular weight provides better bonding and lower retrogradation rates.

Enhanced bonding strength is the primary benefit of using potato starch over cornstarch.

In many applications, potato starch is the better choice!
