Applications
Advanced Dry Stripping
Our EnviroStrip® line of dry stripping products includes wheat starch media, corn hybrid polymer and a starch graft acrylic copolymer. Each offers an alternative to chemical or labor intensive, time consuming mechanical grinding, hand sanding or scraping.
Papermaking
Papermaking is the largest non-food application for starches globally, consuming millions of metric tons annually. Wet-end cationic starches increase your paper’s dry strength to allow for the addition of more fillers or secondary fiber. They are fully compatible with all papermaking systems: neutral, alkaline and acid.
Corrugated Boards
Excellent adhesive strength helps our starches perform well in corrugating and solid-fiber applications. ADM offers a line of modified and unmodified starches to assist you in developing a stable and consistent viscosity that will help achieve optimal corrugator efficiency.

ADM starches perform well in a variety of other applications including:
