Applications

Advanced Dry Stripping

Our EnviroStrip® line of dry stripping products includes wheat starch media, corn hybrid polymer and a starch graft acrylic copolymer. Each offers an alternative to chemical or labor intensive, time consuming mechanical grinding, hand sanding or scraping.

Papermaking

Papermaking is the largest non-food application for starches globally, consuming millions of metric tons annually. Wet-end cationic starches increase your paper’s dry strength to allow for the addition of more fillers or secondary fiber. They are fully compatible with all papermaking systems: neutral, alkaline and acid.

Corrugated Boards

Excellent adhesive strength helps our starches perform well in corrugating and solid-fiber applications. ADM offers a line of modified and unmodified starches to assist you in developing a stable and consistent viscosity that will help achieve optimal corrugator efficiency.
