Abstract:
The application of a novel petroleum resin sizing agent in the bleached sulfate wood pulp was studied.The factors such as the dosages of sizing agent,aluminum sulphate and pH value which could influence sizing efficiency were discussed in detail. The optimum sizing condition was as follows: pH value 6.2, aluminium sulfate 3%, sizing agent 2%, calcium carbonate 20% and 0.2% sizing assistant——cationic polyamide polyamino-expoxy chloropropane PAE with reversed sizing method. The experimental results indicated that petroleum resin sizes could be used as an effective sizing agent under the above mentioned optimum conditions. In addition, CaCO3 could be used as an additive under the above mentioned conditions, to improve the brightness and opacity of paper sheet obviously.
