2-oxetanone sizing agents and their preparation and use

摘要

A sizing composition for fine paper that is not solid at 35 DEG C and comprises a mixture of 2-oxetanone compounds that are the reaction product of a mixture comprising about 10-85 mole % of saturated fatty acids and about 90-15 mole % of unsaturated fatty acids, and preparation and use thereof. Paper made with the sizing composition does not encounter machine feed problems in high-speed converting or reprographic operations.
