Paper: size does matter

For all papermakers, synthetic surface sizing agents conveniently and economically alter the paper surface properties, allowing them to produce high value added performance papers. Due to the emergence of high speed offset and digital printing processes coupled with advanced ink formulations and high speed photocopying, the expectation from printing and writing paper to deliver higher performance at optimum cost of over all sizing operation has never been so challenged. Styrene maleic anhydride copolymers (SMA) have been in use in the paper industry for many years side by side with other styrene based copolymers such as styrene acrylic emulsions, but it has been a challenge for these age old technologies to meet the demands of the paper makers to the fullest satisfaction.
