Alkyl Ketene Dimer Market Gains Momentum from Advanced Papermaking https://growthmarketreports.com/report/alkyl-ketene-dimer-akd-market-global-industry-analysis The Alkyl Ketene Dimer (AKD) Market is witnessing growing interest from paper manufacturers seeking advanced sizing technologies. AKD is used to improve the water resistance of paper and is especially relevant to alkaline papermaking processes. Sizing plays a critical role in determining how paper interacts with water and other liquids. Without appropriate sizing, paper can absorb liquids rapidly, potentially affecting strength, appearance, printing performance, and usability.
