Cationic Rosin
An acid-fortified rosin (i.e. rosin fortified with Maleic Anhydride) is reacted with a water soluble salt of alkylene-acrylic acid copolymer to form a rosin soap. The rosin soap is emulsified with water under high shearing conditions to provide a modified cationic rosin emulsion. The cationic rosin emulsion is a sizing agent for paper.
Benefits:
| 1. | Reduces Cost of Paper Making - Cationic Rosin reduces the consumption of additives like Alum (Aluminium Sulfate) thus lowering the cost of paper making. | |
| 2. | Improves Quality of Paper - Lowering the consumption of Alum, paper sized with cationic rosin undergoes minimal acid tendering thereby increasing whiteness and life. | |
| 3. | Reduces Environmental Pollution - Cationic Rosin is used for sizing under neutral conditions (PH range of 4.5 to 6.5) thereby reducing the discharge of acidic sewage. It reduces the build-up of sulfate ions from Alum in the white water system, reducing the quantity of white water required to be bled off from the system. |
