Maximizing Paper Durability: The Role of Water Resistance Additives
For paper and board products, durability and functional performance are key. A critical aspect of this is water resistance, which protects paper from moisture-induced damage, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from packaging to specialized printing. Achieving superior water resistance relies heavily on effective water resistance additives for paper and board, which are continuously being improved through chemical innovation.
Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) is a widely recognized sizing agent used to impart hydrophobicity to paper. However, the effectiveness of AKD is largely dependent on its proper emulsification and distribution within the paper matrix. This is where high polymer emulsifiers play an indispensable role. These advanced additives ensure that the AKD forms a stable, finely dispersed emulsion, crucial for a uniform and durable sizing effect. Without a high stability AKD emulsion, the water resistance of the final paper product would be compromised.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of sophisticated paper additives, including our specialized polymeric emulsifier for AKD. Our product is engineered to not only stabilize the AKD emulsion but also to enhance its retention and curing capabilities on the paper fibers. This leads to a lower Cobb value, indicating superior water absorption resistance, and extends the overall durability of the paper or board.
The benefits of incorporating such advanced water resistance additives are multifold. They contribute to the production of high-performance papers used in demanding applications like food packaging, where moisture barrier properties are essential. Furthermore, these additives support the industry's shift towards more efficient and environmentally friendly neutral/alkaline papermaking processes, enabling the use of cost-effective fillers. Manufacturers seeking to buy a reliable polymeric emulsifier can trust our expertise and product quality.
In summary, the strategic use of high-quality water resistance additives is vital for modern papermaking. Products like our high polymer emulsifier for Alkyl Ketene Dimer are more than just chemicals; they are fundamental components that empower manufacturers to create paper and board products with outstanding durability and performance. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. remains committed to providing innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of the global paper industry, ensuring quality and sustainability in every sheet.
