Abstract
An invert size for the engine and tub sizing of paper. It contains an aqueous dispersion of a fortified, unfortified, hydrogenated, or disproportionated and optionally esterified rosin or mixture of such rosins and of a dispersant that contains digested casein or an emulsifier of the general formula
[R--(OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2).sub.n --O--A].sub.x.sup.- M.sup.X+(I)
wherein R is an alkylphenyl, alkyl, or alkenyl group or a cycloalkyl group with condensed rings, A is a group with the formula --CH2 COO or --SO3, Mx+ is a cation, x is 1 or 2, and n is a number such that approximately 21 to 76% of the molecular weight of the anion is in the --OCH2 CH2 group. To allow sizing control, the dispersant also contains cationic starch.
