Oxidized starch is a powerful ingredient used in various industries, especially in paper manufacturing, packaging, textiles, and adhesives. With its unique properties like better film formation, reduced viscosity, and improved brightness, oxidized starch has become a preferred choice for industries seeking efficiency and performance. We will explore the top uses of oxidized starch and why it has become a must-have solution for modern manufacturing. What Is Oxidized Starch? Oxidized starch is a type of modified starch that is produced by treating natural starch (from sources like corn or potato) with oxidizing agents such as sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide. This process reduces its molecular weight and introduces carboxyl and carbonyl groups, making the starch more soluble and functional. The result? A fine, white powder that dissolves easily in water, forms a smooth film, and provides strength and surface improvement to paper and packaging materials.  1. Surface Sizing in ...
