Pencat^® Cationic Starches

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

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

Pencat starches are excellent whenever a cationic starch is needed at the wet end of the paper machine. Due to the full molecular weight of native starch, dry strength performance is enhance as well as sizing properties
