Gepzymes Starchz – Advanced Amylase For Starch Modification

Gepzymes Starchz

Starch plays a critical role in paper sizing and coating applications, improving paper strength, printability, and surface properties. However, native starch often causes high viscosity issues, leading to uneven coating and processing difficulties. GEPZYMES STARCHZ is a high-performance amylase enzyme specifically formulated to modify starch, delivering controlled viscosity and improved coating uniformity for superior paper quality and smoother operations.

Starch Modification: Hydrolyzes starch molecules to achieve desired viscosity.
Sizing and Coating: Ensures uniform coating application for better printability and surface finish.
Wet-End Additives: Improves paper strength when used as internal sizing.
Paperboard Production: Enhances stiffness and coating quality for packaging applications.

Applications:

Controlled Viscosity: Prevents thickening problems, ensuring smooth processing.
Uniform Coating: Improves paper surface quality and printability.
Energy Savings: Reduces mechanical mixing and pumping loads.
Consistent Quality: Delivers stable starch solutions with repeatable performance.
Eco-Friendly: Reduces the need for harsh chemical modifiers.
