Spray Starch (Royal Spray)
"Royal-Spray" is a spray starch, developed for spray addition on the wire part. Royal-spray is customized for individual requirement of papermakers as it can be added on Fourdrinier machines, Formers, Cylinder moulds and can be added between the layers in multiwire Fourdrinier machines or formers.
In paper industry, starch is typically used at four places. These are wet-end (Cationic/Amphoteric), Spray on wire part, Surface Sizing and at Coating.
Royal-Spray is formulated to develop sustained and consistent results as the special ingredients help in retaining the physical strength propereties gained with the addition of starch. Wire part addition of Royal-Spray, helps in: Sustained improvement of Bursting Strength and some other dry strength properties, Improves internal bonding and ply-bond strength including RCT/CMT, Helps in improving retention of fines/fillers
