The sizing of paper with rosin and alum at acid pHs

  • Chapter
Paper Chemistry

Abstract

The sizing of cellulose fibres by rosin and its derivatives over the pH range 4.2–6.5 is discussed. The discussion includes the definition of sizing as both a surface treatment and a wet-end process. The various forms of rosin used in the sizing process are also described, as are the theories that have been presented to account for the interactions between rosin and cellulose fibres. Sizing is specifically described as a wet-end process.
