Apollo^® Cationic Starches

Apollo cationic corn starches are designed for wet end addition in paper and paperboard manufacture. Apollo quaternary substituted starches have effective cationic charges over the entire range of pH conditions normally found in paper machine systems.

All of Penford's cationic starches are available in lower pH "A" formulations to improve the stability of ASA size emulsions.

Apollo starches are excellent whenever a cationic starch is needed at the wet end of the paper machine for improvement in dry strength properties, as well as for use with alkaline sizing agents.
