NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. understands the stringent requirements of the food packaging industry. Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD), a versatile sizing agent, plays a pivotal role in ensuring both the safety and performance of paper-based food packaging. Its unique properties make it an ideal candidate for applications demanding high standards of quality and compliance.

For paper used in food packaging, resistance to moisture and grease is paramount. AKD, when applied as a sizing agent, creates a hydrophobic barrier on the paper surface. This prevents the penetration of liquids and oils, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of packaged food products and preventing contamination. The effectiveness of AKD in providing this water resistance is a key reason for its widespread adoption in this sector.

Crucially, AKD is recognized for its safety profile, particularly its non-toxic nature. Unlike some older chemical additives, AKD is formulated to meet strict regulatory standards for use in food contact materials. This chemical inertness and lack of harmful by-products ensure that the paper packaging remains safe for consumers and does not leach undesirable substances into the food it contains. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides AKD solutions that comply with these safety regulations.

The efficiency of AKD as a neutral sizing agent also contributes to better paper manufacturing processes for food packaging. Its compatibility with alkaline papermaking conditions means less corrosion on machinery, leading to smoother operations. Furthermore, AKD’s ability to enhance paper strength and printability ensures that the final packaging material is not only safe but also visually appealing and robust enough for handling and transportation.

By choosing AKD wax for food packaging paper production, manufacturers can meet consumer expectations for both quality and safety. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers AKD solutions that are environmentally friendly and highly effective, supporting the development of sustainable and reliable food packaging materials. The consistent performance of AKD in providing essential properties like water resistance and printability makes it a trusted choice in this critical industry.
