CATIONIC STARCH
Cationic starch is usually produced by using a quaternary ammonium cationic etherifying agent, which is reacted
under a catalyst with the cationic starch is usually made by reacting quaternary The most typical cationic
etherifying agent is 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride.
ammonium chloride. Under alkaline conditions, the cationic etherifying agent first forms an epoxide and then
reacts with the hydroxyl of the dehydrated grape unit in the starch molecule.
Then it reacts with the hydroxyl group on the dehydrated grape unit of the starch molecule to form cationic
starch.

Corrugated paper manufacturing
ADDITIVE AMOUNT: 8-12KG/MT
Usage:
In the production process of corrugated paper, cationic starch is mainly used to improve
the properties of paper such as tensile strength, breakage resistance, water resistance
and sizing. The following is how to use cationic starch in the production of corrugated
paper:
1. Adding cationic starch: Add cationic starch to the pulping system according to the
required additive amount, and mix it with raw materials.
2. Preparation of pulp: In the pulping system, the raw materials are ground into pulp using
a grinder, and then screened, bleached and other treatments are carried out to obtain
high-quality pulp.
3. Adding cationic starch solution: Dissolve cationic starch in the right amount of water to
prepare a certain concentration of cationic starch solution. On the corrugator, the cationic
starch solution is uniformly applied to the paper surface by spraying or coating.
4. Drying and calendering: Through drying and calendering processes, the surface of the
paper is made smoother and denser to improve the quality and performance of the paper.
5. Testing and Packaging: The corrugated paper produced is tested for quality, such as
tensile strength, breakage resistance, water resistance and other indicators. Qualified
products are packaged for transportation and sale.
Printing paper manufacturing
Amount added: 2%-6%
Usage:
1. Preparation of cationic starch solution: Add cationic starch to the appropriate amount of
water according to the required additive amount, stir well and prepare a certain
concentration of cationic starch solution.
2. Paper sizing: Apply the cationic starch solution evenly to the paper surface by spraying
or coating before the paper enters the press section. This helps to improve the sizing and
ink absorption of the paper.
3. Control Parameters: Parameters such as cationic starch concentration, application
volume and coating volume, as well as process parameters such as paper temperature,
humidity and press pressure are controlled to ensure the quality and performance of the
paper.
4. Drying and Finishing: After sizing, the paper enters the drying section for drying and
then finishing to ensure that the surface of the paper is flat and free of defects.
5. quality testing and packaging: the production of printing paper quality testing, such as
sizing, smoothness, water resistance and other indicators of the test. Qualified products
are packaged for transportation and sale.
During the whole process, the production environment should be kept hygienic and clean
to avoid the influence of impurities and pollutants on the quality of paper. At the same time,
equipment parameters should be regularly checked and adjusted to ensure that the
quality of the paper produced is stable.
Plasterboard industry:
Additive amount: 0.5%-3% (For enhancing strength: 1%-2%.mprovement of waterproof
performance: 0.5%-1%)
Usage:
1. Determine the amount to be added: In the production of gypsum board, the amount of
cationic starch added should be adjusted according to the production needs. Usually, the added
amount of cationic starch accounts for 1%\~2% of the amount of gypsum. Too much addition may
lead to the decline of material properties, while too little addition may not achieve the desired
effect.
2. Preparation of cationic starch solution: Before using cationic starch, it needs to be mixed with
appropriate amount of water to prepare a solution. Slowly add the cationic starch into the mixer,
and at the same time add the appropriate amount of water, and keep mixing until a uniform
solution is formed. Take care to control the stirring speed and time to avoid bubbles or
precipitation.
3. Add cationic starch solution: Add the prepared cationic starch solution into the gypsum slurry.
In the process of adding, it should be ensured to be evenly mixed to avoid the phenomenon of
localized over-concentration or over-dilution. Mechanical mixing or manual mixing can be used to
ensure uniform mixing.
4. Control the mixing time: the mixing time has a certain impact on the quality of gypsum board.
Too short mixing time may lead to the cationic starch and gypsum slurry is not fully integrated,
while mixing time is too long may cause a decline in material properties. Therefore, it is
necessary to control the mixing time to ensure the uniform mixing of cationic starch and gypsum
slurry.
5. Aging and processing: After the mixed gypsum slurry is poured into the paper-faced gypsum
board machine, it needs to go through a certain aging time, so that the gypsum hydration
reaction is complete and the strength of the paper-faced gypsum board is improved. After aging,
the paper-faced gypsum board can be processed by sawing and punching as needed. Pay
attention to control the processing parameters to avoid affecting the performance of paper-faced
gypsum board.
6. Quality inspection and packaging: The finished paper-faced gypsum board needs to undergo
strict quality inspection to ensure that it meets the production requirements and relevant
standards. Qualified products can be packaged for transportation and sale. Packaging should use
appropriate materials and methods to ensure the protection and beauty of paper-faced gypsum
board.
oil industry:
Amount added: 1-3%
Usage:
1. Determine the additive amount: according to the application scenario and demand,
determine the additive amount of cationic starch. For example, in petroleum drilling mud, the
adding amount is usually 0.5%\~1%; in petroleum fracturing fluid, the adding amount is usually
1%\~2%; in petroleum emulsion system, the adding amount is within the range of 1%\~3%.
2. Preparation of cationic starch solution: Mix cationic starch with appropriate amount of water
to prepare a uniform solution. Stirrer or manual stirring can be used to control the stirring speed
and time to avoid bubbles or formation of precipitation.
3. Mixing and stirring: Mix the prepared cationic starch solution with the petroleum system and
maintain proper stirring or circulation to ensure that the cationic starch is uniformly dispersed in
the system. The time and intensity of stirring or circulation should be based on the specific
system and application requirements.
4. Maturing and aging: The mixed petroleum system needs to undergo a certain maturing time
so that the cationic starch can fully react and combine with other components in the system. The
aging time should depend on the specific system and application requirements, and generally
needs to be carried out under certain temperature and pressure conditions. Also, the aging
process is necessary to further improve the stability and performance of the system.
5. Use and storage: After the maturation and aging process, the petroleum system can be put
into use. In the process of use, attention should be paid to controlling the use amount and
rheology, and adjusted according to the actual situation. The unused portion should be stored in
a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature. Meanwhile,
the stored petroleum system should be inspected regularly and any abnormality should be dealt
with promptly.
