Penford^® Gum

Penford Gum hydroxyethylated starches form highly stable starch pastes when cooked. The product line includes starches with a full range of viscosity modification to meet any papermaking application. The products range from the unmodified Penford Gum 200 (native starch viscosity) to the highly modified Pen-cote^® (very low viscosity for high solids applications) with a wide range of products in between.

Penford Gums are excellent for use at the size press in clear size and pigmented formulas. Penford Gums are an excellent choice for use with all types of size presses and coaters.
