Performax® CSM-05 Carrier System Technology

This advancement in corrugated board technology significantly reduces the amount of starch used in production by eliminating the need for a primary starch. This technology can be used with native starches or less expensive alternatives, such as flour. Carrier System Technology offers robust rheology control, thereby eliminating viscosity changes over time. And because starch cooking isn’t required, glue preparation is completed in significantly less time, allowing for more effective and efficient kitchen operation. The product is ideally suited for plant using ready-mix today as investment in a traditional glue kitchen is no longer required.
