Aquazym®

Aquazym is an amylase used for low-temperature modification of starch, which is widely in coatings and sizes.

In a deinking process, the enzymatic modification of starch (degradation) helps to liberate ink particles from the paper surface, thus enabling a higher brightness level of the final paper products. Other amylases suitable for different types of recycling mills have been developed.

Due to the working conditions of Aquazym, it is easy to achieve the exact degree of hydrolysis and viscosity targeted.
