BENSIZE B-55 (Modified Starch)

Description

BENSIZE B**5 (MODIFIED STARCH)is a Chemically Modified Industrial Starch derived from Tapioca. It is a Low Viscosity "Thin  Boiling\'\' starch particularly developed for the Textile Industry\'s partial replacement of Polyvinyl Alcohol in warp sizing. The cost of BENSIZE B**5 (MODIFIED STARCH) is a fraction of Polyvinyl Alcohols. Therefore, by replacing *5 % to *0 % of Polyvinyl Alcohol with BENSIZE B**5 (MODIFIED STARCH) a substantial cost savings can be obtained. In achieving this cost saving the weaving efficiency is not sacrificed. Yarns sized with a blend of *0%  BENSIZE B**5 (MODIFIED STARCH) and *0%  Polyvinyl Alcohol obtain weaving efficiencies equivalent to those achieved with **0% Polyvinyl Alcohol.
A solution of BENSIZE B**5 (MODIFIED STARCH) has

• Shorter cooking time
• Higher fluidity
• Increased adhesiveness
• Superior flexibility
• Lower rate of congealing
• Provides a much clearer, transparent flexible film than the parent Tapioca Starch.
