FilmKOTE™ specialty surface starch - 06580103

Enhance the look and performance of printing and specialty coatings the natural way

Improve surface printing quality and ink holdout. Extend the performance of specialty coatings. Enhance your brand’s sustainability story. With high-performing FilmKOTE™ specialty surface starch, now it’s all possible for your oil- and grease-resistant packaging and papers.

This innovative starch has unique hydrophobic functionality providing superior barrier performance compared to traditional surface starch products, ideal for paper grades requiring oil and grease resistance or specialty coating holdout. Plus, it’s FDA approved under 21CFR 176.170 and 176.180, and can enable you to reduce or eliminate fluorochemicals.

Unique chemistry delivers excellent holdout properties

FilmKOTE™ specialty surface starch is formulated with a pseudoplastic rheology — producing highly surface-oriented film become thinner as they are driven under high shear into the nip, quickly regaining viscosity as they flow back from the nip. This helps prevent starch penetration into the paper and contributes to exceptional starch surface orientation that improves printing and coating performance.
