Abstract

Alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) has been used as a sizing agent all over the world to controlling penetration of liquids to the paper. In parallel with the technological development of biomedical devices, AKD-Heptane applications on the paper surface are becoming increasingly important. Conventional applications and technological methods need to be examined in order to reach suitable paper surface for all kind of device. This article fills that gap to measure paper properties after application both methods. Dipping method and printing method. In this paper, we used filter paper because of its pure structure. AKD to n-Heptane was4% (v/v) on paper samples, then samples keep optimum heat condition for curing the AKD. The most important feature of AKD sizing is to improve the water repelling properties of paper; therefore, it was testedCobb60. Then it was examined strength properties of these papers. Tensile test series and burst test indicated that printing method yield better results.
