Other 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.
