Amphoteric Starch powder

Amphoteric starch powder is a chemically modified starch that contains both positive and negative ionic groups in its molecular structure. This dual functionality gives it unique properties such as improved retention higher stability and better performance in various applications. It is widely used in the paper industry where it enhances drainage retention and sheet strength while also improving printability and surface quality. Amphoteric starch powder is also applied in the textile industry as a sizing and finishing agent because it provides excellent adhesion and film forming ability. In wastewater treatment it helps in flocculation and clarification due to its charged groups that interact with suspended particles. Compared to native starch it offers better stability over a wide pH range and improved performance in challenging process conditions. Its versatility cost effectiveness and functional characteristics make amphoteric starch powder an important ingredient in paper textile and water treatment industries.
