Pentasize™ Sizing Agents

are valuable wet-end sizing agents used in the paper and packaging industries to enhance water resistance, printability, and strength of paper products


  • act as hydrophobic sizing agents when added to the paper pulp during the wet-end stage of papermaking
  • improve printability and color reproduction, resulting in sharper, more vibrant print images
  • contribute to the paper's strength and dimensional stability, reducing curling, warping, and wrinkling, particularly in coated paper and board products
  • when applied to the paper fibers, they migrate to the surface and form a thin hydrophobic film, which reduces the paper's tendency to absorb moisture
  • enhance the water resistance of paper and packaging materials, making them suitable for applications where moisture resistance is essential
  • sustainable development: supports the United Nation's goal of affordable and clean energy
  • available grades: Pentasize™ 8, Pentasize™ 68
