Size Press and the Ability to Change Paper Properties, 1991 Papermakers Conference Proceedings
The size press position on a paper machine or paperboard machine is an excellent place to change paper properties. Common properties that are modified at the size press position are surface strength, optical properties, printability, sizing, porosity, coefficient of friction, grease resistance and impart polymeric properties. This can be accomplished with a variety of materials and equipment. This paper presents the methods and necessary materials to accomplish these paper property changes.
