Specialty paper producers work across demanding applications, from tissue and release liners to functional papers. Each application places different demands on starch performance, but the need is the same: stable behaviour throughout the process. From wet-end retention to surface treatment and coating, inconsistent starch performance can affect strength development, runnability and coating quality. This may lead to production inefficiencies, higher variability and less predictable end-product performance.

Avebe’s potato starch-based solutions provide a reliable route to process control and consistent paper quality. With a portfolio covering wet-end, surface and coating functionalities, producers can select the right starch solution for each production stage. The intrinsic properties of potato starch support stable retention, improved internal strength and predictable coating performance. Products such as Solvitose® PLV and the cook-up Amylofax® range help enhance strength and retention from the wet end, while maintaining efficient processing. For specialty paper producers, Avebe’s starch solutions offer a practical way to combine consistent performance, operational efficiency and reliable quality across a wide range of applications.
