Chemstar starch polymers ensure dyes stay in place, for exacting detail and stunning finished quality.

RHEOLOGY ENHANCEMENT
Rheology enhancement—We can help thicken or improve viscosity consistency in disperse and vat dyes, and other dyestuff applications, to enhance efficiencies and production quality.

Polymer applications

WARP-SIZING

Chemstar starch polymers create premier protective coatings for fibers.

FINISHING

Our polymers increase swelling power and water absorption of dye paste for superior dispersion, while our custom chemistries prevent color bleeding.

Leverage the starch polymer advantage

Our starch-based polymers offer tangible performance attributes that other polymers can’t match, in quality, efficiency and consistency.

YARN PROTECTION
Starch’s protective coating enables yarn to better withstand the weaving process, minimizing shedding and costly defects and losses.

MAXIMIZED UPTIME
Smoother-running weaving processes help reduce shutdowns and maximize uptime and profits.

VIVID COLORS
Starch-based polymers’ premier color retention maximizes finished quality, improving customer satisfaction and loyalty.
