EcoSynthetix has developed
a new family of starch adhesives, called EcoSphere.™
By redesigning starch molecules on a molecular level,
we have created new biopolymer nanospheres that form
high solids dispersions in water with more than one-year
shelf life stability.
Traditional starch adhesives require water, heat and
caustic chemicals to gel the starch. EcoSphere
adhesives activate at much lower temperatures and requires
no additional chemicals. Benefits include instant tack
and faster drying times than traditional starch.
EcoSphere adhesives
act more like a polyvinyl acetate (PVA) adhesive than
a traditional starch adhesive. This opens up new markets
and opportunities for our customers to compete in areas
that are traditionally closed to starch adhesives.
