Ahlstrom’s HydroSize™ technology offers a wide range of water resistance and repellency to other liquids.
HydroSize™ works by making the paper fibers and structure itself resistant to water and other liquids. This resistance means the paper will not absorb water, and will maintain its structure and performance for long durations of exposure.
HydroSize™ products can be designed to resist the absorption of water for long periods of time, and even “bead” and repel the water from the surface.
- A variety of internal additives and coatings can be employed in the technology to produce papers that can handle many types of wet environments, while still ensuring functionality in many applications
- Solutions tailored to your specific needs and applications provide performance in even the harshest conditions, even long term outdoor environments
- Combined with wet strength additives, HydroSize™, will outlast in any applications
