Product Description
GT ASA is a high performing sizing agent based on alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA).
The main Application
The Main Application
Like any ASA size, ASA is supplied as pure active sizing agent, which needs to be transferred into an aqueous emulsion prior to use. The GT ASA size emulsion is added into the approach system of the paper machine at a point, which allows for homogeneous distribution of the size particles in the fiber suspension. Addition into the machine chest or earlier should be avoided in order to keep the residence time short and minimize the risk of hydrolysis.
