Application
The cationic starch which stabilize PTSC Series has excellent substantivity for papermaking fibers under neutral and alkaline conditions, ensuring that the size is well retained. During the drying of the paper, the AKD wax melt and spreads over the surface of the fibers, where it undergoes an esterification reaction. The reacted AKD is thus bonded to the fibers with the hydrophobic portions of the molecule oriented away from the fiber surface, giving the sizing effect.
Technical Specification Sheet
PTSC A-16 AKD, PTSC A-19 AKD, PTSC A-22 AKD (Alkyl Ketene Dimer).
PTSC A Series is a standard starch-stabilized, alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) size dispersion, for the sizing of paper and board under alkaline conditions. All products have a low ketone content, and display low agglomeration. At normal dosage levels, products do not significantly quench optical brightening
agents (OBAs, FWAs) so they are particularly suitable for use when whiteness is important, such as in uncoated fine papers.
PTSC A Series Emulsion which is a reactive size and is a highly efficient sizing chemical. It is specifically designed to enhance drainage and optimize
sizing efficient in most paper making systems. We manufacture different grades of AKD Emulsion different types of papers. Our emulsion are
uniquely formulated to work effectively paper industry. These Emulsion provides excellent resistance to a wide variety of penetrates and react directly with cellulose ro provide sizing.
In India, we are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of AKD Wax Emulsion. We manufacture various grades of AKD Emulsion for Different types of paper and specifications for one of grade is as follows.
