Nature Polyacrylate

Physical form Yellowish liquid.

Shelf Life
Size CO Liquid can be kept in the original sealed containers at temperatures
between 30 and 40 C for at least 12 months. Partly used containers should
be kept tightly closed. Protect the product from moisture.

Further information on storage is provided in the current Safety Data Sheet.


Properties
The values below are approximate. Tolerances are given in the product
specification.

pH (23
o
C) Approximately 8 (250 g/l)

Viscosity (23
o
C)
2000 mPa.s (ISO 2555)

Ecology
Size CO Liquid is readily bioeliminable (Tegewa test, based on OECD 302 B).
COD data are given in the current Safety Data Sheet.

Compatibility
Compatibility Solutions of Size CO Liquid are compatible with water hardening
substances.

Size CO Liquid is applied together with the usual starch products and CMC. It
is not compatible with Size CA, Size CB or Size CE.

Climatic Stability
When applied as recommended together with hydrophilic starch, Size CO
Liquid has a positive effect on moisture regulation.

Application



Size CO Liquid is designed to be used together with starch. It is a good film
former, improves the peeling resistance of starch on cellulosic and
PES/cellulosic staple fibers, and reduces dusting.

Size CO Liquid reduces the viscosity of starch. Mixtures of 4 parts raw starch
and 1 part Size CO Liquid can be applied up to a liquor concentration of 9 %
without the addition of a starch solubilizer.

Desizing
Size CO Liquids good dispersing properties lead to an excellent wash-out
effect.

Size CO Liquid improves desizing of the starch, so that under certain
circumstances enzymatic desizing can be dispensed with. Preliminary tests
are advisable.
