The paper industry in the Nordic region, renowned for its high standards in quality and environmental sustainability, has a strong preference for advanced chemical solutions. Among these, Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) wax stands out as a premier sizing agent, particularly favored for its performance in demanding applications. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of AKD wax, we are proud to support the Nordic paper market with a product that aligns perfectly with its values and requirements.

Why AKD Wax is Ideal for the Nordic Market

The Nordic paper industry is characterized by its focus on quality, innovation, and environmental responsibility. AKD wax aligns exceptionally well with these priorities:

  • Environmental Compliance and Sustainability: Nordic countries are at the forefront of environmental regulations and sustainable practices. AKD wax, with its solvent-free production methods and operation in neutral to alkaline pH conditions, offers a significantly lower environmental impact compared to older, acid-based sizing agents. Its biodegradability further enhances its eco-friendly profile, making it a responsible choice for mills committed to sustainability.
  • High-Quality Paper Production: The Nordic market demands paper products with superior performance—excellent water resistance, bright printability, and good strength. AKD wax delivers these qualities effectively. It provides durable hydrophobicity and enhances the overall surface properties of paper and board, making it suitable for high-end printing, packaging, and specialty paper grades.
  • Efficiency in Neutral/Alkaline Systems: Modern papermaking often favors neutral or alkaline conditions due to benefits like reduced machine corrosion and the ability to use calcium carbonate as a filler, which is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. AKD wax excels in these environments, providing efficient sizing without the drawbacks associated with acidic processes.
  • Versatility in Application: From high-quality printing and writing papers to specialized packaging materials that require robust moisture resistance, AKD wax offers versatile performance. Its ability to provide excellent sizing and also contribute to paper strength makes it a multi-functional additive.
