Abstract

The article discusses the influence of wet-end variables on the sizing efficiency of alkenyl succinic anhydride on fine papers created with Eucalyptus globulus kraft pulps. It states that the purpose of paper sizing is to make paper more resistant to liquid penetration. It explains that alkenyl succinic anhydride is a synthetic agent used in sizing that is usually involved in alkaline papermaking. It mentions that the synthetic agent has a fast curing size, but it can lose its ability if it is in contact with water.
