A starch lubricant that is used to protect the yarns during the weaving process.
To add sizing agents etc. in order to make handling easier in production process and in higher processing steps (weaving process, prepreg process, other molding processes) of Carbon Fiber. Such sizing agent itself is also called "sizing".
Part of the papermaking process where materials (starch, wax, rosin, glue, etc.) are added to the stock furnish before it is put on the paper machine, or to the surface of the paper while on the paper machine to enhance certain characteristics. Sizing can improve paper's resistance to liquids and enhance its finish smoothness and surface characteristics.
Internal or beater sizing: a rosin or resin emulsion applied to the paper stock in the paper-making process, giving the stock resistance to ink and water.
the process of adding materials to the furnish or to the paper surface to provide water or ink holdout properties to the paper
Material added to paper to increase its water repellency. Barnier, John, ed. Coming into Focus. San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2000. (Taylor Whitney)
Applying a material to a surface to fill pores. Also the surface treatment applied to glass fibers.
The surface treatment on glass fibers during the fiber forming operation which aids in machine manufacture as well as allowing the resin to adhere to the fibers in use, as is the case with mats and rovings. Sizing is similar to FINISH for cloth, but because mats and rovings are not "dirtied" by the weaving process, no finish is required.
A chemical substance added in the papermaking process to create a degree of water resistance.
any glutinous material used to fill pores in surfaces or to stiffen fabrics; "size gives body to a fabric"
A solution added to paper to both hold it together and to make it less absorbent. Sizing can be added at two stages; internal sizing, a moisture resistant mixture in the form of rosin, glue, gelatin, starch or modified cellulose is added to wet pulp while it is in the beater; external or surface sizing treats the external layer of a sheet of paper after it has dried completely.
A water-based resin coating that is applied to fiberglass strands. The coating not only protects the strands and makes them easy to handle, but it also determines, in part, the process for which the strand can be used and the compatibility with particular resin systems.
(Size) A substance that inhibits the penetration of water into the internal structure of paper and therefore decreases the swelling of the paper fibers in response to moisture. Sizing affects the stiffness, strength, smoothness, and weight of the paper, as well as its aging characteristics. Sizing agents include rosin, gelatin, animal and synthetic glues, starch, cellulose ethers, synthetic resins. 2. Chemicals added to paper and board that make it less absorbent so that inks applied will not bleed. Acidic sizing can be harmful and can cause paper to deteriorate.
A paper’s sizing refers to the additives or solutions that have been added to the fibre either during the beating process (internal sizing) or after the sheet is dried (external sizing). The amount of sizing in or on a paper determines its resistance to moisture. The more sizing, the less absorbent the paper and vice-versa.
process of treating the paper with size.
A solution of chemical additives used to coat filaments. The additives protect the filaments from water absorption and abrasion; they also lubricate the filaments and reduce static electricity.
The treatment of paper so that it is resistant to moisture. Sizing material is applied to the surface or throughout the material to fill pores which reduces absorption.
A material added to surface of paper to be printed by lithography to seal the surface against ink and water penetration. Internal sizing used to bond fibers of paper together.
1. A generic term for compounds that are applied to warp yarn to bind the fiber together and to stiffen the yarn to provide better abrasion resistance. 2. The process of applying sizing compounds.
The process by which any synthetic substance is added to paper to provide resistance to the absorption of moisture or eliminating ink feathering and bleed through.
The substance applied to the substrate before gilding in order to make the gold leaf stick to the work surface, and its application. Today, the most common sizing used by glass gilders is gelatin capsules dissolved in boiling water and then strained.
A solution applied to the wall to add slip for ease of smoothing and working the paper. Newer solutions such as activators and wall primers have outdated the use of sizing.
When preparing canvas, the linen must first be coated with a size. This is done before applying a primer...
A treatment of paper to make it resistant to moisture.
A compound that binds together and stiffens warp yarn to provide resistance to abrasion during weaving; normally removed and replaced with finish before matrix application.
A Resin, such as rosin, added to pulp before it's formed into paper, or added to the surface of the paper after it's dry. Sizing acts as a glue to keep the fibers of the finished paper tight, since loose fibers on the surface of the paper can cause printing problems. Sizing also helps the finished paper repel water, which is an especially important property for stock that will be used for offset printing.
The glaze applied to newsprint at the end of the manufacturing process.
(i) a stiffening substance used to give yarn strength, stiffness, and smoothness, which improve its weaving qualities. (ii) treating yarn with a stiffening substance to improve its weaving qualities.
A liquid mixture that is applied to the wall prior to wallpaper installation. Sizing creates a uniform porosity on the surface of your wall and increases the tack of the wallpaper during installation. Sizing should not be mistaken for a primer/sealer (see "primer/sealer" above).
The property of paper relating to its resistance to penetration of liquids (primarily water).
A glue of wax that is put on the bristles of a paintbrush to protect them from dust and damage during shipping.
The property of paper that relates to its resistance to water, other liquids or vapors. Sizing ingredients are added to pulp before it is formed into paper or applied to the surface of the paper after it has dried. Sizing serves as a glue to keep the paper fibers tightly woven and in place so the sheet won't pick on press.
The application of a gelatinous film to the warps prior to weaving. Used to protect the yarn from abrasion. Substances used include starch and polyvinyl alcohol.
Coating applied to a surface that increases water resistance, eliminates abrasiveness and fuzz while improving bonding strength. Close Window
(1) The addition of substances to paper that give it water resistance, abrasion resistance and surface bonding strength. (2) See: Scaling. to top
Treatment of either stock or paper surface with size to improve strength and reduce absorbency
A substance added to pulp before papermaking or the surface of a finished sheet. Sizing serves several different functions, depending on the end use of the sheet; as a glue to hold fibers together, an enhancer of water resistant qualities, or a controller of the reaction of ink with the sheet.
An agent applied to the paper surface to increase water resistance, eliminate abrasiveness and fuzz, and improve bonding strength.
Process where a sizing agent (e.g. starch) is added to the paper to increase strength and decrease absorbance
Operation consisting of applying starch, gelatin, oil, wax, or any other ingredient onto yarn to aid the process of fabrication or to control fabric characteristics. Warp sizing is usually referred to as slashing.
The treatment of paper, which gives it resistance to the penetration of liquids (particularly water) or vapours.
The process by which certain materials such as glue, rosin or starch are added to the furnish or pulp mass of a paper before processing. Sizing increases the ink receptivity of a paper and gives it other special characteristics. Special grades may be subsequently surfaced-sized on the dry end of the paper machine.
A liquid coating used to prepare surfaces for wall coverings unless primer is used.
A finish that adds body to fabric. Starch is an example of a sizing.
A treatment for paper that gives it resistance to the penetration of liquids such as water.
Chemicals mixed with pulp that make paper less able to absorb moisture.
A primary coating of glue applied to the end grain of wood to seal the pores.
Starch or glue added to yarns or fabrics to increase their smoothness, stiffness or bulk.
A protective coating applied to yarn to ensure safe handling, such as abrasion-free during weaving.
Sizing is a substance that is applied to fibers during paper manufacture in order to curb their tendency to absorb liquids by capillary action. By doing so, sizing keeps the ink on the surface of the paper where it was intended to remain. In addition, sizing affects abrasiveness, creasibility, finish, printability, smoothness, and surface bond strength, and decreases surface porosity and fuzzing.
