Basoplast ® – AKD sizing agents As one of the leading suppliers of chemicals to the paper industry, we never stop in our efforts to develop and improve our products and processes. One example is our newly designed, solvent-free and state-of-the-art production process for AKD. It shows BASF’s commitment to supply our customers with the best available products. Sizing systems add value to your paper. » Basoplast ® AKD sizing agents include a variation of standard up to polymer-enhanced dispersions. » Basoplast ® AKD sizing agents are available worldwide from regional production facilities. » Basoplast ® AKD sizing agents based on pure C18 fatty acids are designed for liquid packaging board or high melting point requiring processes. » Improved cost performance through the reduction of transportation costs. » BASF’s new production process for AKD ensures highest quality; therefore it is especially suitable for all types of food and beverage packaging papers. The combination of this AKD with our approved polymeric sizing is also an option particularly where high performance is required. The technical service given by BASF is focused on finding and implementing system solutions to create value on your machine. » Basoplast ® AKD sizing agents can be used for virtually all internal sized paper & board grades. » Basoplast ® AKD sizing agents are based on a solvent free AKD wax with high purity. Examples for new applications for sizing: » Polymer-enhanced AKD dispersions improve printability of 100% DIP newsprint as well as runnability in the pressrooms. » Polymer-modified AKD dispersions, applied in the surface, show enhanced surface sizing efficiency along with reduced stock sizing demand. » BASF’s C 18 AKD is approved regarding milk and fruit acid resistance. BASF‘s expertise: improved printability and dimension stability for newsprint (example 100% deinked paper) With BASOPLAST ® Without BASOPLAST ®
Basoplast ® – ASA sizing agents Our devotion to developing products for paper production makes us strive to offer customers the best ways to meet their requirements. Basoplast ® ASA completes our portfolio of synthetic sizing agents, allowing us to recommend the most effective wet-end size. Basoplast ® ASA has a positive effect on runnability. The immediate and easily controlled sizing effect of Basoplast ® ASA improves machine runnability, so helping increase the rate of production. This makes Basoplast ® ASA an economic alternative to AKD and rosin size. » Basoplast ® ASA sizes can be used for all grades of paper and provide the best sizing solution for gypsum plasterboard. » Basoplast ® ASA sizes contain 100% highly reactive material, but their shelf life is unlimited. » Basoplast ® ASA sizes are most effective in combination with cationic potato starch, but can also be used together with synthetic polymers. » Basoplast ® ASA sizing agents are available in two qualities: with pure C18 alkenyl chain or a blend of C16/C18 alkenyl chains. Owing to its reactive nature, ASA must be added at the paper mill, together with auxiliaries, in order to form an aqueous emulsion before the stock is applied to the fourdrinier machine. The use of proven emulsification technology and BASF’s experience in construction of metering equipment guarantees you highly qualified technical service, allowing optimum results with Basoplast ® ASA.
