IndustrIal starches

tate & lYle IndustrIal starches

We are specialised in the following industries:

Paper and Board Production: In the paper industry our starches are used to increase dry paper strength and improve surface quality. Starch is a vital component of quality paper along with cellulose and fillers, influencing every step of the paper making process, from sheet formation to surface improvement. It is used in most paper grades, whether in printing and writing paper, board or corrugating base.

Corrugated Board Production: Our specialty starches are used to bond the different layers of paper in the manufacture of corrugated board. For several decades Tate & Lyle has worked with producers and machinery suppliers to develop efficient, tailor-made solutions to adhesive problems. Specially designed native and modified starches manufactured under ISO quality control procedures, help guarantee

product performance. Through improved understanding of the basic principles of the glueing process and the development of comprehensive glue kitchens, Tate & Lyle is guiding its customers towards optimum product use. Flexibility, reliability and modern technology are Tate & Lyle’s three pillars of strength in the corrugating field.

Construction and Other Industries: Our starches are also used in adhesive and building product applications, as well as in other industries such as textiles, where it improves weaving efficiency.

To guarantee state of the art solutions we build on the following components:

Manufacturing and Supply Chain Excellence: We serve our customers from 6 well located corn plants in Europe.

Application Expertise: Our R&D and application laboratory in the Netherlands has a wide range of pilot facilities and

we work closely with several reputable institutes and organisations.

Service and Training: Our Service team is spread over Europe and consists of people with hands-on application and product experience. We operate modern, sophisticated technical support centres.

Product and Process Research: Tate & Lyle is home to a unique combination of researchers, application scientists, and regulatory and quality experts, allowing us to offer comprehensive and deep product knowledge.

Equipment and Engineering know-how and service: We provide several processing and dosing equipment, supported by our team of specialists.

The Industrial Starches division provides global industries with excellent solutions based on high quality starches and a skilled service team of specialists, all supported by top-end processing equipment and state of the art application laboratories. Combined, they provide the customer with a solution for every requirement.

PaPer and board starches

Starches for wet endThe most important property of MERIBOND™ cationic starch in wet end is that it forms bridges between the cellulose fibres. The result is a strong fibre network and paper sheets with higher tensile and burst strength. Moreover, cationic starches improve the retention of anionic pigments, which enables higher filler levels while also contributing to faster dewatering.

Optimum application rates vary from mill to mill and from grade to grade, but are likely to be between 0.5 and 2.0% dry starch on dry fibre. The starch application dosing point will determine paper properties: strength improvement, retention and/or dewatering.

To our present knowledge, all our starches are fully compatible with synthetic retention aids and other wet end additives.

Spraying starch is another application to improve plybond or even surface strength properties. The starches, mostly unmodified, are sprayed directly on the dewatered paper just before the press section.

Starches for surface sizing and coatingOur MERIZET™ range are the standard products for surface sizing application. Once hydrolysed, they penetrate into the paper sheet and increase strength values.

Next to our standard native range, we also provide a product range designed to ensure optimum enzymatical conversion. After in-mill hydrolysis and sizing of the paper, they improve mechanical properties, surface smoothness and printability, and reduce dusting.

Low cationised starches such as the MERIBOND™ types (also used in the surface sizing application) will be retained in the sheet when repulped, with up to 90% reduction in BOD load of effluent water compared to non-cationic starch.

In coating applications we propose our MERIFILM™ brand (highly modified starches) in order to influence the rheology of a coating colour and provide excellent binding properties together with coating pigments. These starches are designed to partially replace latex in the coating formulations. Their hydrolysed structure allows for high solids cooking.

Starch is a vital component of paper, next to cellulose and fillers. Starch influences every step of the paper making process, from sheet formation to surface improvement and printability.

Tate & Lyle offers several options on starches for each type of paper and board application. Besides maize based native starch, we also produce modified starches, tailor-made for each application and designed to fulfill your requirements.

MERIZET™ Native starches

MERIZET™ Native starchesNative starches are reliable, standard products delivering good performance on standard board grades. They are suitable for processing in any type of adhesive preparation system.

MERIBOND™ Modified starches MERIBOND™ starches are processed in Steinhall adhesive preparation systems. They have been designed to fulfill the three key requirements for optimum bond performance.

1. Shear stability A constant, uniform glue pick up is

achieved only when viscosity remains stable. The viscosity of a MERIBOND™ glue is considerably less sensitive to pump stresses and shear between the glue rolls at high speeds (see graph 1). As a result, glue rolls pick up and transfer a constant amount of glue, no matter how long the glue has been circulating, and glue consumption can be reduced.

2. Short structure MERIBOND™ starches render a specific visco-elastic structure to the glue and have a distinct rheological behaviour (see graph 2). Glue is positioned on the flute tip only, exactly where it is supposed to be to ensure proper bonding, resulting in reduced splashing. Consequently, less glue is used, resulting in lower moisture input, higher speeds and improved board quality.

3. Strong tack MERIBOND™ starches have unique water uptake characteristics resulting in very strong tack upon gelatinisation, as soon as contact between fluting and liner is established (see graph 3). The combination of swollen granules (primary fraction) and chain polymers (secondary fraction) creates strong forces at high speed to keep the board in place and to allow completion of bond setting upon drying.MERIBOND™ starches will make the adhesive develop its tack potential to the fullest.

Combined, the above benefits of MERIBOND™ starches allow for higher corrugator speeds and lower moisture input. Equilibrium of moisture content is reached quickly and the board is flatter and less waste is produced.

SUPRAMYL™ One Bag MixSUPRAMYL™187 is a maize starch-based one bag mix containing all the required ingredients for preparation of a highly versatile glue in a simple and convenient preparation.

Our starches are used in building materials. MERIFILM™ 102 is an acid-thinned starch that is advantageously used in the manufacturing of gypsum boards. When mixed with gypsum slurry, it gelatinises in the oven and optimally migrates towards the edge of gypsum and board. During the cooling the starch then retrogradates and forms hydrogen bridges, effectively binding the board to the gypsum.

Starches are also used for sizing, finishing and printing in the textile industry. Sizing helps to improve weaving efficiency and the appearance of fabrics while enhancing printing quality. Through sizing, our starch brings strength to the yarn/warp, minimising breakage and increasing weaving properties. We offer MERIZET™, MERIFILM™ and MERIBOND™ starches of different viscosity profiles to provide the textile industry with the best yarn sizing properties for the machines at different speeds.

Our starches are also used in many other industries such as adhesives, binder, stabiliser and strength improver.

Equipment Engineering We provide our customers with comprehensive solutions for industrial starch applications. These include engineering and design of starch handling, slurrying and cooking systems. Glue kitchens for corrugating plants (such as AMYCOR™ PC and AMYCOR™ C) and efficient jetcookers for paper mills (such as AMYJET™ E for enzymatic cooking and the AMYJET™ C cationic cooker) have been part of our total solution package for over 25 years.

Start-up of the equipment and operations are supported by our qualified personnel. Regular technical visits ensure that our customers’ starch processes are running optimally and yield the full benefits and performance of the starch products.

Starch and Application Expertise At the premises of our Dutch maize starch plant, the Starch Expertise Centre facility provides technical support for the use of starch in Paper, Board and Corrugated Board Applications. In this facility we continuously investigate the latest technologies, in order to create state-of-the-art solutions in products and application technology.
