Neutral pH papermaking processes are increasingly favored for their environmental benefits and efficiency. Central to these processes is the use of advanced sizing agents, with AKD emulsion emerging as a critical component. As a leading manufacturer and supplier of AKD emulsion, we empower paper mills to leverage the advantages of neutral papermaking with confidence.

Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) emulsion is a synthetic sizing agent designed to impart hydrophobicity to paper. Its efficacy lies in its ability to chemically bond with cellulose fibers. This reaction forms a protective, water-repellent layer, significantly enhancing the paper's resistance to liquid penetration. This is fundamental for applications requiring precise ink control and excellent water repellency, such as high-quality printing paper and food packaging.

The primary advantage of AKD emulsion in neutral papermaking is its compatibility with alkaline conditions. Traditional acidic sizing agents can lead to corrosion and are less suitable for alkaline filler materials like calcium carbonate. AKD, however, thrives in neutral to slightly alkaline pH ranges (7.0-8.5), contributing to a more stable papermaking system, reduced machine wear, and improved compatibility with fillers. This makes it an excellent choice for manufacturers seeking both performance and operational longevity.

Our AKD emulsion not only enhances water resistance but also contributes to improved paper quality overall. Users can expect better printability, increased ink holdout, superior smoothness, and enhanced physical strength. The improved aging performance of AKD-treated paper also ensures its quality is maintained over time. For businesses looking to buy AKD emulsion, our company offers a product with consistent solid content and performance characteristics, backed by our expertise as a dedicated supplier.

Selecting the right AKD emulsion supplier is crucial for achieving optimal results. We provide technical support to help integrate our AKD emulsion into your existing processes, ensuring maximum efficiency and product quality. Our commitment as a manufacturer is to deliver reliable, high-performance chemicals that drive success in the paper industry. Invest in our AKD emulsion to elevate your paper products and embrace the benefits of neutral papermaking.
