Surface Treatment (Coater)

At Penford we understand what is important to coated paper manufacturers. Penford invented hydroxyethyl starches and they revolutionized paper coating and size press operations. Penford Gums are hydroxyethyl substituted, dent corn starches available in a variety of viscosity ranges. These products are the most cost-effective method of improving surface of paper on size press and coaters. Superior paper quality achieved due to stronger, more flexible film, excellent water holding, higher ink holdout and better bonding of pigment to paper.
