SOLAMYL®
Modified pregelatinized potato starches for textile sizing and paper coating
SOLAMYL® is a range of modified pregelatinized starches, developed for technical applications in the textile and paper industry. These products are designed as hot-water-soluble sizing agents and coatings for paper. They are used as sizing agents and form a protective film on cotton, viscose, linen, blended yarns, and synthetic fibers to improve weaving performance and process stability.
Key benefits
- Reliable preparation of sizing solutions under standard textile processing conditions
- Neutral odour
- High purity and film-forming properties
SOLAMYL® is used sizing agent to form a protective film on yarn surfaces, improving weaving performance and process stability.
SOLAMYL® supports the performance of coating starch formulations in paper production by contributing to stable viscosity and uniform application, enabling consistent surface properties and printability.
Technical properties
As hot water soluble starches SOLAMYL® grades are prepared by dispersion and dissolution under controlled temperature conditions.
The white powder form allows precise dosing and reproducible solution preparation.
Proper solution management and adherence to recommended application parameters are essential to achieve consistent film formation and weaving performance.
OEKO-TEX® Standard
The range supports the processing of textiles that meet the requirements of OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, provided application follows AGRANA recommendations and industry standards.
