For paper manufacturers, selecting the right sizing agent is critical to achieving desired paper properties, particularly water resistance and printability. Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) Wax has become the industry standard for neutral papermaking due to its superior performance and longevity compared to older acidic sizing methods. As a trusted manufacturer and supplier of AKD Wax, we aim to guide paper companies in sourcing the highest quality materials to optimize their production processes.

The efficacy of AKD Wax lies in its chemical structure and its ability to react with cellulose fibers under neutral pH conditions. This creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water, providing excellent sizing. The process typically involves emulsifying the AKD wax into a stable latex, which is then introduced into the paper pulp. The resulting paper exhibits enhanced water resistance, preventing excessive ink spread (feathering) and improving the overall clarity and sharpness of printed images. This makes it an indispensable component for high-quality printing papers, packaging materials, and archival documents.

When procuring AKD Wax, understanding key specifications such as purity and physical form is essential. Our AKD Wax, identified by CAS number 144245-85-2, is meticulously manufactured to ensure high purity levels, often exceeding 93%. This commitment to quality ensures consistent performance in your papermaking operations. We offer our AKD wax in a light yellow waxy solid form, suitable for emulsification and integration into various papermaking processes. As a leading supplier in China, we are equipped to meet bulk order demands with reliable supply chains.

For paper mills, the cost-effectiveness of a chemical additive is a significant consideration. We strive to provide competitive AKD wax prices without compromising on the quality or purity of our product. This allows manufacturers to achieve superior paper characteristics while managing production costs effectively. By choosing to buy AKD wax from us, you are partnering with a supplier dedicated to delivering value through both product excellence and economic efficiency.
