• Small particle size which can penetrate well into the fabric depositing in and around fibres
• Rice starch contains a high proportion of amylopectin (relative to amylose) and therefore has high cohesiveness and forms good films
• Rice starch film on the fibres will act as a protective layer, thus restricting penetration of soil into the fibres - starch will also function as a soil release agent, when dissolving in the next wash
• Can be used for starching cotton bed sheets and table linen and polyester (VISA) table linen
• Has soil release properties
