| Abstract | Coating color and coated paper were produced by using types of modified starches, which were Tapioca Oxidized, Com Oxidized, Com Dextrin, Com Hydroxyethylated and Potato Oxidized as cobinders. The amounts of the modified starches were varied : 0, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14 parts in coating color formulation. Coating color viscosity, paper surface strength, paper printability and other paper strength properties were evaluated and compared with SB-Latex and CMC as the coating color control formulation. The results showed that each modified starch shows a different performance in coating color and coated paper testing. Com Oxidized has highest viscosity and lowest surface roughness and gloss results, and also high ink absorption. Com Dextrin has lowest viscosity, good surface strength and tear index of coated paper. Tapioca Oxidized has good optical properties. Com Hydroxyethylated has stable performance in terms of paper strength such as bending, tear, roughness, gloss and also gives good surface strength. Potato Oxidized has average performance in all properties. |
