STUDY ON HYDROPHOBIC PROPERTY OF HANDMADE JUTE PAPER TREATED BYWAX (Pages : 1 - 4)

To produce hydrophobic handmade paper sizing material wax along internal additives (rosin) and reinforcement were used. Optimum result was obtained when rosin along with wax was used as internal additive during pulp preparation and it was enhanced when it was reinforced by jute fibre. The hydrophobicity was increased by 51.26 % due to rosin along with wax treatment and application of reinforcement. The experiment was done at the handmade paper laboratory of Mennonite Central Committee, Dhaka in the year 2002-2003.Download
