Aquazym® 480 L
Aquazym® 480 L is a high strength product suited to most batch and continuous starch cooking processes.
Reduced costs through in-house starch modification
Modified starch can be costly. With this product, you can develop your own modified starch from native starch in your mill. That reduces your expenses.
Increased viscosity control and flexibility
This product modifies the properties of cooked starch in a selective, controlled way. That gives you greater viscosity control so you can tailor starch properties to exactly suit on-machine application and product performance specifications. Greater viscosity control also means greater flexibility. You can produce pastes with a range of viscosities, suited to various paper or board grades.

Paper mills usually buy in modified starch for surface treatment of paper & board. With enzymes they can prepare it in-house for cost and flexibility benefits.
Surface sizing with starch improves the printability and integrity of the paper surface. Coating adds desirable optical and performance properties. The paper and board industry uses modified starches for surface sizing and as a component of coating color.
The starch used in the formulation needs to be modified from its native form. This modification gives it the viscosity needed for effective application. Controlled modification with alpha-amylases is an economical alternative to chemical methods. Mills can perform enzymatic modification as part of their own batch or continuous starch cooking processes.
