The
Complete Line of ASA Sizing Agents for
Pulp & Paper Applications from
Paradigm Chemical.
alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA)
Unique Technology
. . . Plus Low Cost . . .
Paradigm™ has commercialized a unique ASA sizing system that is not only the
lowest cost option available in the market, it is the most efficient.
What makes parasize™ unique? We have made great improvement in the three
most critical areas of ASA size application.
1. Parasize™ 218A - our neat ASA molecule, is vastly superior to competitive
products due to its precise positioning of the double carbon bond = MORE
STABLE MOLECULE
2.
Parasize™ 300E, our proprietary emulsifying agent allows for lower dosages
of emulsifier to be used, which translates into longer solution tank
holding times. This is accomplished without the addition of extra surfactants
= LESS WASTE
3. Our specially designed make-down and feed equipment ensures that
the proper mixing energy is applied for optimal particle size distribution
= GREATER EFFICIENCY
Improvements in these three areas add up to less usage, less deposits,
greater sizing efficiency, longer shelf life and ultimately lower cost.
In five recent head to head trials with competitive ASA products (starch
and polymer based), we have seen the following:
-- 10-15% improvement in efficiency
-- 15-20% reduction in price
-- Up to 35% reduction in total cost with a final emulsified price per
pound under $1.65.
-- Compare this with current market pricing of $2.00-$3.00 per emulsified
pound and -- -- you will be ready to make the Paradigm shift.

you know what your current cost for ASA is?

Competitive Example
ASA component - $ 1.40/#
Emulsifying agent - $ 1.00/#
Emulsifying ratio - 1 part emulsifier to 1 part ASA
Price per emulsified pound:
$1.00 + $1.40 = $2.40 per emulsified pound
Paradigm Example
Parasize 218A - $1.40/#
Parasize 300E - $ 0.50/#
Emulsifying ratio - 0.5 parts emulsifier to 1 part ASA
Price per emulsified pound:
$0.25 + $1.40 = $1.65 per emulsified pound |
Do
you suffer from size reversion?
Parasize™ has
zero reversion. In fact, with our equipment
and proprietary formulation we can give you size cure up 10%
off the reel. |
Do
you suffer from erratic sizing profile across the reel?
Through
our tightly controlled particle size we can delivery outstanding
uniformity across the reel and usually with lower overall
application rates |
