Choosing an
AQUESize product for your application: |
AQUESize
products are all-organic modern formulations, non-Cr
and non-F, to impart extremely high resistance to
aqueous fluids.
Various
aqueous fluid repellent treatments have been used in the
paper industry over the last few decades. Some products
like chromium complexes were, and still are, highly
effective. The dangers to effluent waters from the
highly valent and heavy metal composition of such chrome
treatments have been a large factor in their decline.
Fluorocarbon treatments can also obtain high aqueous
fluid repellency though fluorocarbons suffer from high
costs and their own environmental dangers.

The Surface Repellent
products would be chosen for highest Hercules Size Test
(HST) values. In many cases the aqueous fluid will
evaporate before the electrical connection in the HST
apparatus stops the test. Infinite HST times are
therefore obtained. AQUESize 917 or 517 would be
chosen for:
- Butcher Papers
(blood resistant)
- Cookie Sheets
(eases cookie removal)
- Repellent
Linerboard Treatments (water resistance)
- Creating 'Duck's
Back' Repellent Character

914 and 514: |

The Mixed
Internal/Surface Repellent products are used where
'internal' fiber treatment is necessary and some surface
repellency is also a benefit. These products are not
simple blends, rather being designed as dual-function
repellents from the earliest stages of the synthesis. The
dual-function features of AQUESize 914 and 514 are
valuable for:
- Footwear Components
(toe caps, inner soles, heel cups)
- Engine Air
Filtration Media (wet stiffness, wet tensile)

904 and 504: |
 |
The Reactive Internal
Repellent products are used where lowest Cobb values are
desired. The high reactivity of the repellent
components bond them permanently to the cellulosic
fibers (wood, cotton, linen, rayon) for non-leaching,
permanent repellency. Because there are no waxes in
these products the risk of leachable components is low.
The surface of treated papers usually remains printable
and/or glueable. AQUESize 904 or 504 would be
chosen for:
- Wallpapers
(dimensional stability, wet and dry)
- Sandpapers
(dimensional stability, wet and dry)
- Gasoline or Oily
Fluid Filters (non-leaching)
- Hold-out
Improvement for High Value Top Coatings
- (Release Coatings,
Fluorocarbon Treatments, High Gloss Coatings)

Why AQUESize: |
 |
AQUESize products have been
designed and developed within the last 4 years. With
decades of experience behind the chemists and
application experts of SOLV, Inc, our scientists KNOW
what features are of value and importance to our paper
customers. Many of the existing repellent dispersions
have been in the market for 10 years, 20 years and
longer. While providing a level of repellent service
these products are often designed on historic surfactant
dispersions. The dispersing components can then mitigate
the repellent performance or leave undesirable residues
in treated papers or nonwovens.
We use:
- Custom-designed
polymeric dispersants of high inherent repellent
character,
- Combine those
polymeric components with other repellent components
and
- Build consistent,
uniform dispersions for best application in
size-press processes.
