The Development of an Oxidized Corn Starch Size
Starch comprises about 70％ of textile sizing agents. The disadvantages of raw starch, for instance low film-forming ability and high viscosity, may be solved by oxidation treatment. Hydrogen peroxide, known as an oxidant with the properties of robust, effective and environment friendly, is adopted for starch oxidation treatment. Corn starch is a natural material that rich in resources and cheap in cost, thus is selected as the raw material. The corn starches were oxidized at various mass ratios of hydrogen peroxide to starch and the sizing properties of the treated corn starches were tested, and compared with a popular commercial sizing agent. The experimental results revealed that one of selected hydrogen peroxide treated corn starch exhibited similar sizing properties in terms of size pick up, strength increase, wear resistance increase and reduction of hairiness, which suggests that the developed sizing agent is promising as a future replacement of reference commercial product, since hydrogen peroxide treated corn starch is cheaper, cleaner and easier to prepare.
