Abstract: A composition for sizing paper includes alkenylsuccinic anhydride (ASA) as the sizing agent and an emulsifier system of anionic emulsifiers and nonionic components, wherein the anionic emulsifiers are chosen from alkali metal salts of aliphatic carboxylic acids or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and the nonionic components are chosen from polyethylene glycols.
Abstract: Aqueous paper-sizing emulsions for bulk and surface sizing with a content of fatty acid anhydrides are described in which the fatty acid anhydrides are derived from unsaturated or saturated fatty acids or their mixtures with chain lengths of C12-C24 and are liquid under 50° C. The paper sizing emulsions additionally may contain another reactive or non-reactive sizing agent and/or a fixing agent containing aluminum ions. The new emulsions are suitable for the finishing of paper and cardboard.
