Abstract

In this study the effects of several parameters on the sizing efficiency of test liner using poly aluminum chloride and rosin under neutral condition in reverse and premixing sizing processes were investigated. The results indicated that the individual effects of poly aluminum chloride amount, rosin amount, interval time as well as interaction effect of poly aluminum chloride -rosin amounts in both sizing processes affect significantly sizing performance. The most important variable was the poly aluminum chloride amount. The effect of poly aluminum chloride amount on the sizing efficiency depended on the properties of fiber surfaces. This study showed that the interval time on the sizing efficiency is significant. To obtain an identical degree of sizing, it is possible decrease the amount of poly aluminum chloride and rosin amounts by increasing the interval time. In addition, the results confirmed two different mechanisms involved in the premixing sizing process.
