Why do paper manufacturers use industrial soy polymers?
DuPont Soy Polymers products are marketed focusing on key functional attributes of the soy protein to suit a vast range of uses. The largest markets at the moment are coated paper paperboard industries. Our water-soluble DuPont™ Pro-Cote products are used in all kinds of paper coatings for their unique properties. It makes a paper coating flow better being applied, sometimes at speeds up to 5,000 feet per minute, as well as improve the final sheet, allowing a printer to enhance graphic and print quality. Paper manufacturers often use our products to create a coating that is stiffer and is resistant to heat, so they can run the paper through processing, printing and converting machinery smoothly and rapidly.
