Surface sizing composition

摘要

Disclosed are compositions useful as surface coatings for nonwoven substrates which compositions are reaction products of a melamine formaldehyde compound, long chain saturated alcohols and long chain saturated or unsaturated polyethoxylated alcohols. The invention compositions when used to surface size paper impart oil, water and polar solvent resistance thereto. The compositions may be used alone or as substantial replacements for anionic or non-ionic fluorocarbon based surface sizes that are typically used to impart oil resistance to paper.
