Reducing the costs of raw material will look good on your profit-and-loss-account, but may have undesired consequences for paper quality and strength. With our Paper Performance Approach you can achieve both: reduce costs and improve paper properties. For this purpose Avebe developed several specialty starches, one of them is Amylofax™.
Potato starch has the highest molecular weight compared to other native starches. A higher molecular weight corresponds with a higher binding power. Amylofax™ a pure potato starch derivative, is the natural choice for wet-end applications. Amylofax™ comes within very narrow specifications and has the absolute minimum in variation in cationicity, guaranteeing outstanding runnability. No product available is cleaner than Amylofax™.
Amylofax™ will not only bring you maximum runnability but also:
Amylofax™ products are industrial starch modified products, obtained from non-GMO food-grade potato starch. They comply with all the applicable legislation for food contact paper and board. Amylofax™ is allowed to be used in direct food contact. FDA: Amylofax™ meets the requirements for Food starch modification, implying that it also meets the requirements for paper and paperboard in direct food contact. BfR: Amylofax™ meets the requirements described in Empfehlung XXXVI and Empfehlung XXXVI-2 (baking paper).
