Polyamide Epichlorohydrin (PAE) Resin — Wet Strength Resin
Polyamide epichlorohydrin resin is the standard wet strength additive for neutral and alkaline papermaking, used wherever a sheet must retain strength after wetting. Allzone supplies PAE resin to Canadian mills with the grade confirmed against supplier documentation.

Technical & procurement detail
Functional role of polyamide epichlorohydrin (pae) resin+
PAE resin is cationic, so it retains on the fibre from the wet end, then crosslinks during drying to form a water-resistant network around the fibre bonds. Towel, tissue, liquid packaging and label grades depend on it because ordinary hydrogen bonding between fibres fails as soon as water re-enters the sheet.
Selecting the right grade+
Solids content, charge, molecular weight and the resin's byproduct profile distinguish grades, and end-use requirements — particularly food contact and effluent constraints — narrow the field further. Machine conditions, target wet-to-dry ratio and curing conditions determine what is quoted.
Documentation and specification+
Properties differ between producers and between grades of the same material. Allzone confirms the applicable grade with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet and safety data sheet for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does wet strength develop?+
Partial strength develops on the machine and the balance cures over time after the reel, at a rate that depends on temperature and grade. The supplier technical data sheet for the quoted grade describes the expected curing behaviour.
Which grade will I be quoted?+
The grade is set by your specification. Share the target performance, process conditions and any customer or regulatory requirement in the RFQ and the matching grade is confirmed with the supplier before quotation.
What packaging is available?+
Packaging is confirmed with the supplier at quotation for the grade and quantity discussed.
Can you deliver across Ontario and Quebec?+
Yes. LTL and FTL freight is arranged across Ontario, Quebec and Western Canada, with container-direct supply for repeat volumes.
