TEXSIZE |
|
TEXSIZE, an ideal acrylic sizing agent, is an Acrylic
Polymer having functional groups which contribute to good
toughness, good adhesion and excellent softening of the
size films. It can be used for sizing polyester and polyester
blends under varying temperature and humidity conditions
with full or partial replacement of PVA. |

FORMULATION
GUIDELINES |
| Formulation
of Size recipe using TEXSIZE varies depending on yarn
quality, mill conditions etc. However, a general guide
formulation can be as follows : |
| Thin
boiling starch |
: |
60kgs |
| TEXSIZE |
: |
40kgs. |
| Antistatic
agent |
: |
2kgs. |
| Mutton
Tallow |
: |
3.3kgs. |
| Water |
: |
330kgs.
|
|
PREPARATION
OF SIZE MIX |
Thin
boiling starch and antistatic agents are added to water
and stirred cold for 10-15 minutes. Steam is started and
starch cooked for 30 minutes. Then TEXSIZE is added and
cooked for 15 minutes. Mutton Tallow is then added and
stirring is continued for another 15 minutes. The size
is mixed and cooked inbeck system.
Following is the guideline recipe for obtaining similar
performance with PVC and TEXSIZE (eliminat A) |
