Cationic Starch Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Cationic starch is a type of starch that has been modified. Cationic starches are primarily used as wet-end starches. While native starch can be used as a wet-end starch, cationic starches are preferred. As cationic starches are positively charged, the negatively charged cellulose fiber and fillers easily attract them. As a result, the fibre-to-fibre and fibre-to-filler bonds become stronger. There are two commercially available cationic starches: quaternary ammonium type cationic starch and tertiary amino type cationic starch. Quaternary ammonium starch is cationic across the pH spectrum, whereas tertiary amino starch is cationic only in the acidic range.
