AXSIZE­®

Consistent water resistance for stable paper quality

Reliable Sizing Performance — Even with High Recycled Fiber Content.

AXSIZE® is a proven sizing solution designed to control liquid absorption and deliver stable barrier performance across paper and board grades. Using AKD and ASA emulsions, or surface-applied SAE programs create a uniform hydrophobic layer on fiber surfaces. The result is improving better printability and reducing converting issues. With AXSIZE®, mills achieve predictable sizing results run after run, with lower variability and more efficient chemical use. 

Targeted Sizing for Measurable Barrier Gains

Whether the goal is water resistance, ink holdout, or improved downstream converting, AXSIZE® provides tailored sizing strategies. Its formulations deliver consistent surface coverage, reduce sheet defects, and ensure uniform hydrophobicity without compromising runnability. This makes it an essential tool for mills handling variable furnish quality or high levels of recycled fibers. 

Forme Performance that Secures Sheet Integrity

AXSIZE® ensures: 

By improving smoothness, and enhancing print quality, AXSIZE® strengthens overall sheet integrity while supporting higher output and reduced waste. 

Seamless Integration Into Mill Operations

Designed for easy adaptation, AXSIZE® integrates into both wet-end and surface systems without requiring process redesigns. Our technical teams support mills with optimized dosage and application programs that maximize efficiency, cut chemical costs, and improve long-term sizing control.
