Abstract
Cassava ( Manihot) starch wastes carboxymethylated to a degree of substitution in the range of 0·42–0·61 have been prepared and used as thickening agents for the formulation of water-based latex paints. It was found that paint thickened with cassava-waste-based sodium carboxymethyl starch acquires a mechanical strength and drying time comparable to paint formulated with the commercial grade thickeners such as Tylose and Natrosol.
