Context: |
|
To perform their function in resisting penetration of water or other liquids into paper, sizing agents all contain some type of low-energy chemical group. These may include fatty acid “tails,” typically in the range of 14 to 22 carbons in length. Alternatively, these may consist of fused hydrocarbon rings, as in the case of rosin products. |
