HI-CAT®

HI-CAT® cationic starch for paper strength and retention - Introduction



HI-CAT®
plays an important role in the making of a sheet of paper having a major influence on the paper retention, formation and the paper strength characteristics as well as significantly improving machine runnability.


The bonds formed between anionic fibres and cationic starch are very strong with virtually total fixation of the starch to the fibres. This results in the formation of a strong fibre network.
