Abstract
A method for preparation of a starch-promoted alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) sizing emulsion is provided. The inventive method comprises adding a sizing promoter comprising high-charge cationic starch and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) to a stabilized AKD emulsion and further wherein addition of said sizing promoter comprising high-charge cationic starch and PAC is effected at ambient temperature, after emulsification, stabilization, and homogenization of said stabilized AKD emulsion; and prior to addition of the starch-promoted AKD sizing emulsion to papermaking furnish, pulp, or fiber stock.
