Key Advantages of Our AKD Wax for Papermakers

Superior Sizing Efficiency

Our Alkyl Ketene Dimer Wax provides exceptional sizing effects under neutral to alkaline conditions, outperforming traditional rosin sizing and offering comparable or better performance than ASA. This makes it a versatile solution for diverse paper types.

Enhanced Paper Quality

By forming a hydrophobic layer on cellulose fibers through esterification, AKD improves paper strength, durability, and printability. This is crucial for premium printing papers and robust packaging materials.

Environmentally Friendly Choice

As an eco-friendly product, our AKD wax is biodegradable and operates in neutral pH environments, minimizing corrosion and reducing the environmental impact of papermaking processes compared to acidic alternatives.
