Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of starch derivatives, wherein the starch derivative is partially acetylated and partially acylated with at least one fatty acid, as additive in coating compositions, and starch derivatives which are partially acetylated and partially acylated with at least one fatty acid at least one fatty acid, wherein the MW of the starch derivatives is from 3.000 to 50.000 g/mol.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the acetylation of lignocellulose-containing fibrous materials and to acetylated lignocellulose-containing fibrous materials obtained according to said method, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: This application relates to coating and inks compositions comprising starch derivatives, their uses and substrates comprising such compositions.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of an acylated polymer composition including amylose and/or amylopectin, including a pre-treatment step in the presence of an acid and a hydroxycarboxylic acid, subsequent acylation and, preferably, a post-treatment step with an acid. The products obtained are useful as additives in inks, varnishes, lacquers, coatings, thickeners, adhesives or binders.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the manufacture of an acylated polymer composition comprising amylose and/or amylopectin, comprising a pre-treatment step in the presence of an acid, and optionally one additive selected from the group of a hydroxycarboxylic acid and a salt in combination with a polycarboxylic acid. After pre-treatment, the polymer is acylated and, preferably, subjected to a post-treatment step with an acid. The products obtained are useful as additives in varnishes, lacquers, coatings, thickeners, adhesives or binders, and preferably inks.
