Delhi-NCR's paper belt runs on a specific pattern. The mills in the Bawana and Narela clusters, the board units in Noida and Greater Noida, and the packaging suppliers in Gurgaon and Faridabad all sit inside a tight radius — but they run very different furnishes, machine speeds and paper grades. Some run on recycled fiber, some on virgin pulp, some on a blend. Some serve the packaging market, some the writing and printing segment. The water varies across the belt. The chemistry that works in one mill may not work in the next. This is why paper chemical selection in Delhi-NCR starts with the mill's own furnish and machine data, not a fixed product list. Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies paper chemicals for Delhi-NCR's mills — AKD and rosin sizing agents, retention aids, wet and dry strength resins, defoamers and biocides. The working conversation starts with your furnish and machine data, not a fixed product list.
Three things shape the chemistry decisions in Delhi-NCR's paper belt. First, the furnish mix — many mills run recycled fiber alongside virgin pulp, and recycled fiber carries more fines and more contaminants, which affects retention and drainage. Second, the water quality — groundwater in parts of the belt is hard, which affects how sizing agents and retention aids perform. Third, the paper grade mix — packaging and board grades need different chemistry from writing or specialty grades, and many mills run both. A retention aid that works on one furnish may underperform on another. A sizing agent that works in soft water may need a different dose in hard water. Working from the mill's own wet-end data is the only reliable starting point.
The range is grouped by function in the process, not by chemical class:
Grade selection depends on your furnish, machine configuration and target paper grade. We do not recommend a fixed grade for every mill.
| Process Stage | Typical Chemical | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Stock preparation / pulper | Deinking aids, defoamers | Ink removal, foam control |
| Refining | Dry strength resins | Fiber strength development |
| Approach flow system | Retention aids, biocides | Fines retention, slime control |
| Headbox / wire | Retention aids, drainage aids | Sheet formation, water removal |
| Press section | — | Water removal (mechanical) |
| Size press / coater | Surface sizing, AKD | Surface strength, water resistance |
| Dryer section | Curing (for AKD) | Sizing development |
The exact dosing point depends on your machine layout. Final dosing is set after a wet-end trial with your team.
| Product | Active Content | pH (as supplied) | Form |
|---|---|---|---|
| AKD sizing (emulsion) | 15 – 30% | 3 – 5 | Liquid emulsion |
| Rosin sizing (paste) | 70 – 80% | 9 – 11 | Paste |
| Rosin sizing (dispersion) | 30 – 50% | 6 – 8 | Liquid dispersion |
| Retention aid (PAM) | 30 – 90% (powder / emulsion) | 4 – 7 | Powder / emulsion |
| Wet strength resin (PAE) | 12 – 25% | 3 – 5 | Liquid |
| Dry strength resin | 20 – 40% | 4 – 7 | Liquid |
| Defoamer (silicone / non-silicone) | 10 – 100% | 5 – 8 | Liquid / emulsion |
Final specification is confirmed against the product TDS for each grade.
Paper chemical dosing is set on kg per tonne of paper, and the dosing point matters as much as the dose. As a working reference for Delhi-NCR mills:
These are starting ranges. Final dosage is confirmed after a wet-end trial with your team. Our engineers work with your mill chemist on this.
A few questions that come up in almost every technical discussion:
We do not sell drums and walk away. For Delhi-NCR paper mills — packaging, board and specialty grades — we review your wet-end data, walk through the chemistry selection with your mill chemist, and support the wet-end trial. If a sheet is failing on strength, sizing or printability, call us — we will look at the machine data with you. TDS and MSDS are shared on request.
Innovacorp manufactures, exports and supplies AKD sizing agents, rosin sizing agents, retention aids, wet strength resins and deinking aids for paper and board mills in Delhi-NCR. Grades are selected based on the paper grade, furnish type and the specific process stage.
Innovacorp supplies AKD sizing agents for paper and board production in Delhi-NCR. AKD sizing improves water resistance and ink holdout on the sheet. The specific grade and dose depend on your furnish and target Cobb value — share your process data and we can advise.
Retention aids help capture fine fibers and fillers on the wire, which reduces the load in white water and supports more consistent sheet formation. The exact benefit depends on your furnish, machine speed and current retention level. We work from your machine data before recommending a grade.
Yes. We supply in 25 kg and 50 kg packs for powders, and 200 kg drums and 1 tonne IBCs for liquids. For Delhi-NCR paper mills, we coordinate on delivery schedules based on consumption and share TDS and MSDS on request.
Tell us your furnish, machine speed, target paper grade and the specific problem you are trying to solve. We will suggest the chemistry and the working dose range for your mill. Call +91-9312871070.
