<p>Cellulose fibers are entrained in a gaseous medium in a loading zone (20) of a fiber treatment conduit (24) and sized while entrained with a sizing material. In a material application zone (30), blower (26) is capable of moving a gaseous medium at a velocity and volume sufficient to entrain the fibers which have been entrained in the loading zone (20). The sizing material may comprise a nonaqueous solution of alkyl ketene dimer or other sizing material. Also, immersions of fibers in such a nonaqueous sizing solution is another approach for sizing fibers.</p> |
