Global Starch Ether Market Size, Share & Forecasts, 2016-2021
Starch Ether, a copolymer of carbon dioxide and propylene oxide, is a thermoplastic material. PPC is soluble in polar solvents like lower ketones, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and chlorinated hydrocarbons and insoluble in solvents like alcohols, water, and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

It is used as a sacrificial binder in the ceramic industry, which decomposes and evaporates during sintering. It has a low sodium content which makes it suitable for the preparation of electroceramics like dielectric materials and piezoelectric ceramics. Composites of polypropylene carbonate with starch (PPC/starch) are used as biodegradable plastics. It also forms stable emulsions in water. PPC allows the diffusion of gases like oxygen through it. Having a glass temperature (Tg) between 25 to 45 C, PPC binders are amorphous. ...
