Starch and Starch Products for Wet End Application

Starch and Starch Products for Wet End Applications written by Hans W. Maurer, is a complement to his previous book Starch and Starch Products in Surface Sizing and Paper Coating and addresses issues in the preparation and application of starch and starch products for use in the wet stages of the papermaking process.  This publication covers a wide range of subjects in starch utilization, ranging from the preparation of specific starch products to their use in papermaking for flocculation, retention, drainage, strength and sizing control.  Environmental issues in the use of starch and analytical procedures for starch analysis and charge characterization are also addressed.
