In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, the paper industry is continually seeking sustainable solutions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. champions the use of Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) as a key enabler of greener papermaking processes. AKD, a highly effective neutral sizing agent, offers numerous environmental benefits that align with the industry's commitment to sustainability.

One of the most significant environmental advantages of AKD is its biodegradability. Unlike some traditional sizing agents that can persist in the environment, AKD breaks down naturally, minimizing its long-term ecological impact. This characteristic makes it a responsible choice for manufacturers aiming to reduce their environmental footprint.

Furthermore, AKD operates optimally in neutral to slightly alkaline pH conditions. This contrasts sharply with older, acidic sizing agents like rosin, which require acidic environments. The shift towards neutral or alkaline papermaking enabled by AKD offers several environmental perks. Firstly, it drastically reduces the corrosion of paper mill machinery. This not only extends the lifespan of equipment, reducing the need for frequent replacements and the associated manufacturing impacts, but also minimizes the release of corrosive substances into the environment.

The efficiency of AKD is another factor contributing to its environmental friendliness. It is highly effective even at low dosage levels, meaning less chemical is required to achieve the desired sizing effect. This translates to a lower overall chemical load in the papermaking process and, consequently, less chemical waste in the effluent. Reduced chemical consumption also leads to fewer resources being used in the production and transportation of these chemicals.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing AKD solutions that support sustainable papermaking. By choosing AKD, paper mills can contribute to cleaner production processes, reduced resource consumption, and a lower environmental impact. The inherent properties of AKD, coupled with careful process management, make it a cornerstone for achieving sustainability goals in the paper industry.

In conclusion, the adoption of AKD sizing agents represents a significant step forward for the paper industry in its pursuit of environmentally responsible manufacturing. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to offer high-quality AKD products that empower mills to produce superior paper while upholding strong environmental principles.
