Abstract

The range of choice available to the papermaker when he goes shopping for a sizing system to waterproof his paper or board is akin to a walk through a large department store. It provokes the ‘shopper’ with clever ideas, new products and surprising uses for old concepts. The imagination is stimulated, but the perennial determination to get value for money is always present. There must be very few mill, technical or production managers who can honestly claim to know all the technology developed as sizing systems.
