FILMKOTE™ 340 - 05531300

Improve paper’s resistance to oil and grease with a natural, medium viscosity starch

Give paper and board products more power to repel oil and grease with FILMKOTE^® 340 specialty surface starch. This medium viscosity solution delivers superior barrier performance compared to traditional surface starch products — ideal for use in paper grades requiring oil and grease resistance. It’s well suited for conventional size press and film transfer operations.

Enhance surface printability — cost-effectively

FILMKOTE^® 340 specialty surface starch comes in a convenient white powder formulation. (Cooking is required.) You can also count on:

• Improved holdout
• Extended performance of specialty coatings
• Excellent film formation, surface strength and porosity reduction properties
• Reduced need or elimination of fluorochemicals
• FDA approval under 21CFR 176.170 and 176.180

The science behind the performance

The excellent holdout properties of FILMKOTE^® specialty surface starches stem from their ability to produce highly surface oriented films. This is because FILMKOTE^® products become thinner as they are driven under high shear into the nip and then regain their viscosity as they flow back from the nip. This rapid product viscosity restoration serves to resist starch penetration into the paper and contributes to exceptional starch surface orientation.
