Frequently Asked Questions
What is pregelatinized tapioca starch?
Pregelatinized tapioca starch is tapioca starch that has been cooked and dried during manufacturing so that it can hydrate and develop viscosity in cold water without a separate cooking stage.
What is pregelatinized tapioca starch used for?
Applications include paper surface sizing, paper coating, packaging, corrugating and laminating adhesives, instant food systems and other industrial processes.
Can pregelatinized tapioca starch be used for paper manufacturing?
Yes. It can be evaluated for paper surface sizing, coating binder systems, wet-end applications and packaging board, depending on the required performance and grade.
Do you supply different viscosity grades?
Grades can be specified according to the required viscosity and application conditions. Contact the technical team with your process requirements.
Can you develop a custom tapioca starch grade?
Custom development can be discussed based on the required viscosity, gelatinization behaviour, particle size and process requirements.
