FILMKOTE™ 54 - 06580101

Boost surface resistance with a natural, high viscosity solution

Need to protect against oil and grease? Formulate for another special printing challenge? FILMKOTE™ 54 specialty surface starch delivers superior barrier performance compared to traditional surface starch products. This high viscosity solution is ideal for use in paper grades requiring oil and grease resistance or specialty coating holdout, as well as for applications such as size press and calendar operations.

Enhance surface printability — cost-effectively

FILMKOTE™ 54 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

Do you know 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.
