Hello,
we start a new project to make the industrial corn start hydrophobe for the extrusion process. we need a simple and cheap method to do that. would you please advise how to do this?
kind regards,
I would suggest adding wax to increase hydrophobicity. if you use a natural wax it will keep it natural.
Dear Mohammad Reza Abbasi, grafting hydrophobic side groups is the best way as it leads to stable and permanent residues for long term stability against mainly migration. Please have a look at the following documents. My Regards
