How is soy protein used in the paper making process?
Pro-Cote Brand Soy Polymer products are used as an ingredient in the coating formulation to provide rheology control, coverage, print properties, binding strength, thickening, and operational productivity. Pro-Cote polymers are some of the most functional coating additives commercially available to paper and paperboard manufacturers. These products impart a combination of functional properties not provided by any other single ingredient presently on the market. Even though the use level of Pro-Cote as a percentage of a coating formulation is low, the performance properties have a major impact on the manufacturers’ productivity and end-product quality. The properties help the paper or paperboard manufacturer fulfill the printing and converting requirements demanded by printing systems. Pro-Cote products are engineered with a balance of properties that allow the coating formulator to optimize a coating for maximum efficiency. Our coating additives can be used in a variety of formulations
