AKD Curing agent
AKD that has not fully cured leaves sizing developing for days after the reel, and edges that size differently from the middle.

Paper Sizing Agent
Enhance paper performance with our high-quality paper sizing agents, including AKD, ASA, and surface sizing chemicals—improving water resistance and printability.
The problem
What Goes Wrong Without It
Sizing decides whether a sheet repels water or drinks it. Get the AKD emulsion, its emulsifier and its curing conditions wrong and you pay for it twice - once in Cobb values that miss spec, once in reel edges that size unevenly.
What we supply
How The Range Answers It
CHEMSUM supplies the whole AKD chain rather than one link of it: wax, high polymer emulsifier, ready-to-use liquid emulsion, curing agent, plus cationic rosin size for acidic and weakly neutral systems and an anionic surface size for the size press.
Full range
All 8 Paper Sizing Agent Grades
AKD Emulsifier
An AKD emulsion that coagulates in storage or drifts in particle size wastes wax and sizes unevenly.
AKD Emulsion
Acid rosin systems corrode the machine and lose sizing over time; a neutral system needs an emulsion that stays fine and stable.
Anionic Surface Sizing Agent
Linting, dusting and poor coating holdout at the size press show up as print defects downstream.
Cationic Rosin Sizing Agent
Acidic and weakly neutral systems still need sizing, and alum dosage is a cost line of its own.
AKD Wax
Emulsifying your own AKD only pays if the wax purity and particle size are consistent.
AKD High Polymer Emulsifier
High-speed emulsification needs an emulsifier that stays low-foaming and stable under shear.
Liquid AKD
Not every mill wants to run its own emulsification plant.

What information do you need to quote?
The paper grade, the furnish, your system pH and the property target. That is enough to shortlist a grade and suggest a starting dosage.
