Paste viscosity

There are four principal classes of printing ink, which vary considerably in physical appearance, composition, method of appHcation, and drying mechanism. These also fall into two general types of consistency or viscosity, paste and Hquid. The classes are letter press and Hthographic (Utho) inks, which are called paste inks, and flexographic (flexo) and rotogravure (gravure) inks, which are called Hquid inks (1). 

Cationic starches show decreased gelatinization temperature range and increased hot paste viscosity. Pastes remain clear and fluid even at room temperatures and show no tendency to retrograde. This stabiUty is due to Coulombic repulsion between positively charged starch molecules in dispersion. 

It is found that the viscosity of a paste made from a fixed polymer/plasticiser ratio depends to a great extent on the particle size and size distribution. In essence, in order to obtain a low-viscosity paste, the less the amount of plasticiser required to fill the voids between particles the better. Any additional plasticiser present is then available to act as a lubricant for the particles, facilitating their general mobility in suspension. Thus in general a paste polymer in which the pastes have a wide particle size distribution (but within the limit set by problems of plasticiser absorption and settling out, so that particles pack efficiently, will...

The concentration of lactic acid in the steep has been shown to affect both the yield of starch178 and the quality of the resulting starch.179 Starch yields increased with increasing lactic acid concentration up to —0.5%, and decreased when more than —2% lactic acid was used. Shandera and lackson179 tested starch quality when steeped at 57°C with either 0.2% or 1.5% lactic acid and 0.05% or 0.3% sulfur dioxide. The level of sulfur dioxide had a small effect on starch quality, but the level of lactic acid had a pronounced reduction effect on peak viscosity, shear thinning viscosity, set-back viscosity, pasting viscosity and starch water solubility. 

Wheat starch possesses a unique combination of properties that is important to its utilization in various food and industrial products. Those properties are related to its color, purity, flavor, paste viscosity, paste clarity, paste texture and gel strength.27 28,311-315... 

These are the commonest type of starch used in confectionery and are used to make jellies, pastilles and wine gums. They are made by heating a dispersion of the starch with a small quantity of acid at a temperature below the gelatinisation point, where the effect is to reduce the molecular weight by hydrolysing a few of the bonds. This decreases the viscosityof the starch pastes as might be expected from theory. Starch suppliers have devised a system where these starches are classified by fluidity, where the fluidity is the reciprocal of the viscosity. Thus, in a series of fluidity numbers 20, 40, 60, 75 and 80, the 80 fluidity gives the lowest viscosity paste.

VESTOLIT P 1430 K90 Ultra is a paste-forming homopolymer which is suitable for producing low viscosity pastes with almost Newtonian flow and good storage stability. 

Pre-formed endodontic points are not, in themselves, sufficient to create a sound clinical seal in a tooth from which the pulp has been extirpated. In addition, it is necessary to use some sort of sealer. This is applied as a high viscosity paste, and while still able to flow, it can adapt to the canal wall and to the obturating point to produce a seal that can prevent the passage of bacteria. This sealer sets by some sort of chemical process to create a rigid solid that remains in position and provides a continuing seal to prevent the admission of bacteria. 

Identifying the desired paste viscosity required for application and subsequent joining. For example, a low-viscosity paste may be desired in order to apply the sealant by screening-printing. To achieve this, a volatile solvent is typically employed so that upon drying the paste reaches the proper viscosity and tackiness require for stack lay-up. Paste viscosity also defines the maximum rates at which the seals can be appHed to various components and the stacks fabricated.
