Paper Waterproof And Anti-stick Wax Emulsion, Improve Paper Waterproof Effect

Paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion is a functional additive commonly used in the papermaking industry. Its main function is to improve the waterproof and anti-stick properties of paper. The following is a detailed introduction to paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion:

1. Main ingredients and preparation
The main ingredients of paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion usually include a mixture of normal alkanes, which are prepared with high molecular surfactants through a specific reaction process to form a water-soluble emulsion. This emulsion can be evenly dispersed in the paper fibers to form a thin wax film, thereby achieving a waterproof and anti-stick effect.

2. Application principle

Waterproof performance: The wax component in the wax emulsion is hydrophobic. When the wax emulsion is evenly distributed on the surface of the paper or penetrates between the fibers, it can form a waterproof layer to effectively block the penetration of water. This waterproof layer allows the paper to maintain good physical properties such as strength and stiffness in a humid environment.

Anti-stick performance: The wax emulsion can also form a lubricating layer on the surface of the paper to reduce the friction between the paper and other objects, thereby reducing adhesion and paper jams. This is of great significance for improving the smoothness of printing, writing and other processes.

3. Application field

Paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion is widely used in the production of various paper products, such as:

Wrapping paper: used for the packaging of food, medicine, cosmetics and other products to prevent moisture penetration and cause product deterioration or damage.
Label paper: used for labels in supermarkets, logistics and other fields, ensuring that labels remain clear and readable in humid environments.

Thermal paper: used for supermarket printing paper and labels, effectively combined with the thermal layer to prevent excessive wear of the thermal print head while maintaining the waterproof performance of the paper.

Textile and non-woven fabrics: improve the water repellency of textile and non-woven materials, making them more durable and easy to handle.

IV. Product characteristics

Highly effective waterproof: can significantly improve the waterproof performance of paper, making it splashing and rolling water.

Good anti-sticking: forming a lubricating layer, reducing adhesion and paper jams, and improving the smoothness of the printing and writing process.

Environmentally friendly and safe: most paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion products meet environmental protection requirements and are harmless to the human body and the environment.
Easy to use: It can usually be added directly to the pulp, or applied to the surface of the finished paper and then dried, which is convenient to use.

V. Selection and Usage Recommendations
Product selection: According to the specific use and performance requirements of the paper, choose a suitable paper waterproof and anti-sticking wax emulsion product. Pay attention to the product’s waterproof performance, anti-sticking performance, environmental protection and usage methods.
Usage ratio: Add according to the product manual or the ratio recommended by the manufacturer to ensure the best waterproof and anti-sticking effect.
Uniform dispersion: During use, ensure that the wax emulsion can be evenly dispersed in the paper fibers to avoid uneven performance due to excessive or low local concentration.
Drying treatment: For the wax emulsion applied on the surface of the finished paper, sufficient drying treatment is required to ensure the formation of a stable waterproof and anti-sticking layer.

In summary, paper waterproof and anti-stick wax emulsion has broad application prospects and important value in the papermaking industry. By rationally selecting and using such products, the performance and quality of paper can be significantly improved to meet the needs of various application scenarios.
