<p><b>Sizing</b> or <b>size</b> is a substance that is applied to, or incorporated into, other materials—especially papers and textiles—to act as a protective <a href="Filler_(materials)" title="Filler (materials)">filler</a> or <a href="Coating" title="Coating">glaze</a>. Sizing is used in <a href="Papermaking" title="Papermaking">papermaking</a> and <a href="Textile_manufacturing" title="Textile manufacturing">textile manufacturing</a> to change the absorption and wear characteristics of those materials.
</p><p>Sizing is used for oil-based surface preparation for <a href="Gilding" title="Gilding">gilding</a> (sometimes called <i>mordant</i> in this context). It is used by painters and artists to prepare paper and textile surfaces for some art techniques. Sizing is used in <a href="Photography" title="Photography">photography</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> to increase the sharpness of a print, to change the glossiness of a print, or for other purposes depending on the type of paper and printing technique.
</p><p>Fibers used in <a href="Composite_materials" class="mw-redirect" title="Composite materials">composite materials</a> are treated with various sizing agents to promote adhesion with the matrix material.
</p><p>Sizing is used during <a href="Paper" title="Paper">paper</a> manufacture to reduce the paper's tendency when dry to absorb liquid, with the goal of allowing inks and paints to remain on the surface of the paper and to dry there, rather than be absorbed into the paper. This provides a more consistent, economical, and precise printing, painting, and writing surface. This is achieved by curbing the paper fibers' tendency to absorb liquids by <a href="Capillary_action" title="Capillary action">capillary action</a>. In addition, sizing affects abrasiveness, creasability, finish, <a href="Paper_and_ink_testing" title="Paper and ink testing">printability</a>, <a href="Smoothness" title="Smoothness">smoothness</a>, and surface bond strength and decreases surface <a href="Porosity" title="Porosity">porosity</a> and fuzzing.
</p><p>There are three categories of papers with respect to sizing: <i>unsized</i> (<i>water-leaf</i>), <i>weak sized</i> (<i>slack sized</i>), and <i>strong sized</i> (<i>hard sized</i>). Waterleaf has low water resistance and includes absorbent papers for <a href="Blotting_paper" title="Blotting paper">blotting</a>. Slack sized paper is somewhat absorbent and includes <a href="Newsprint" title="Newsprint">newsprint</a>, while hard sized papers have the highest water resistance, such as coated fine papers and <a href="Liquid_packaging_board" title="Liquid packaging board">liquid packaging board</a>.
</p><p>There are two types of sizing: <i>internal sizing,</i> sometimes also called engine sizing, and <i>surface sizing</i> (tub sizing). Internal sizing is applied to almost all papers and especially to all those that are machine made, while surface sizing is added for the highest grade <a href="Bond_paper" title="Bond paper">bond</a>, <a href="Ledger" title="Ledger">ledger</a>, and <a href="Writing_paper" class="mw-redirect" title="Writing paper">writing papers</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Surface_sizing">Surface sizing</h2></div>
<p>Surface sizing solutions consist of mainly modified <a href="Starch" title="Starch">starches</a> and sometimes other hydrocolloids, such as <a href="Gelatine" class="mw-redirect" title="Gelatine">gelatine</a>, or surface sizing agents such as <a href="Acrylate_polymer" title="Acrylate polymer">acrylic co-polymers</a>. Surface sizing agents are <a href="Amphiphile" title="Amphiphile">amphiphilic</a> molecules, having both <a href="Hydrophile" title="Hydrophile">hydrophilic</a> (water-loving) and <a href="Hydrophobe" title="Hydrophobe">hydrophobic</a> (water-repelling) ends. The sizing agent adheres to substrate fibers and forms a film, with the hydrophilic tail facing the fiber and the hydrophobic tail facing outwards, resulting in a smooth finish that tends to be water-repellent. Sizing improves the surface strength, printability, and water resistance of the paper or material to which it is applied. In the sizing solution, <a href="Optical_brightener" title="Optical brightener">optical brightening agents (OBA)</a> may also be added to improve the opacity and whiteness of the paper or material surface.

<p>While sizing is intended to make paper more suitable for printing, acidic sizing using rosin also makes printing paper less durable and poses a problem for preservation of printed documents.

</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>The drying completed, the old papermakers dipped their paper into an animal size that had been made from the parings of hides, which they procured from the parchment-makers. It was necessary to size that paper so that it would be impervious to ink, but sizing was more needed in writing than in printing papers. Many books of the fifteenth century were printed upon paper that had not been sized, this extra treatment not being essential for a type impression. The sizing was accomplished by a worker holding a number of sheets by the aid of two wooden sticks, and dipping the paper into the warm gelatinous liquid. The sheets were then pressed to extract the superfluous gelatine. This crude method of sizing the paper was extremely wasteful as many sheets were torn and bruised beyond use. The sizing room of the early paper mills, was, for this reason, known as the 'slaughter-house'.<sup id="cite_ref-available_on_line_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-available_on_line-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote>
<p>With the advent of the mass production of paper, the type of size used for paper production also changed. As Swartzburg writes, "By 1850 <a href="Rosin" title="Rosin">rosin</a> size had come into use. Unfortunately, it produces a chemical action that hastens the decomposition of even the finest papers."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the field of library preservation it is known "that acid hydrolysis of cellulose and related carbo-hydrates [sic] is one of the key factors responsible for the degradation of paper during ageing."<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some professional work has focused on the specific processes involved in the degradation of rosin-sized paper,<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> in addition to work on developing permanent paper and sizing agents that will not eventually destroy the paper.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An issue on the periphery to the preservation of paper and sizing, is washing, which is described by V. Daniels and J. Kosek as, "The removal of discolouration&nbsp;... in water is principally effected by the dissolution of water-soluble material; this is usually done by immersing paper in water."<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In such a process, surface level items applied to the paper, such as size in early paper making processes as seen above, have the possibility of being removed from the paper, which might have some item specific interest in a special collections library. With later processes in paper making being more akin to "engine sizing," as H. Hardman and E. J. Cole describe it, "Engine sizing, which is part of the manufacturing process, has the ingredients added to the furnish or stock prior to sheet formation,"<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the concern for the removal of size is less, and as such, most literature focuses on the more pressing issue of preserving acidic papers and similar issues.

<p>Sizing is a term used for any substance which is applied to a surface before <a href="Gilding" title="Gilding">gilding</a> in order to ensure adhesion of the thin gold layer to the substrate. Egg whites have often been used as sizing; the Ancient Egyptians sometimes used blood.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Other commonly used traditional materials for gold leaf sizing are <a href="Rabbit-skin_glue" title="Rabbit-skin glue">rabbit-skin glue</a> diluted and heated in water (water gilding), and boiled <a href="Linseed_oil" title="Linseed oil">linseed oil</a> (oil gilding); modern materials include <a href="Polyvinyl_acetate" title="Polyvinyl acetate">polyvinyl acetate</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Textile_warp_sizing">Textile warp sizing</h2></div>

<p>Textile warp sizing, also known as <b>tape sizing</b>, of <a href="Warp_(weaving)" class="mw-redirect" title="Warp (weaving)">warp yarn</a> is essential to reduce breakage of the <a href="Yarn" title="Yarn">yarn</a> and thus production stops on the <a href="Weaving" title="Weaving">weaving</a> machine. On the weaving machine, the warp yarns are subjected to several types of actions i.e. cyclic strain, flexing, abrasion at various <a href="Loom" title="Loom">loom</a> parts, and inter yarn friction.
</p><p>With sizing, the strength—abrasion resistance—of the yarn will improve and the hairiness of yarn will decrease. The degree of improvement of strength depends on adhesion force between fiber and size, size penetration, as well as encapsulation of yarn. Different types of water soluble polymers called textile sizing agents/chemicals such as modified <a href="Starch" title="Starch">starch</a>, <a href="Polyvinyl_alcohol" title="Polyvinyl alcohol">polyvinyl alcohol</a> (PVA), <a href="Carboxymethyl_cellulose" title="Carboxymethyl cellulose">carboxymethyl cellulose</a> (CMC), and <a href="Acrylate" title="Acrylate">acrylates</a> are used to protect the yarn. Also <a href="Wax" title="Wax">wax</a> is added to reduce the abrasiveness of the warp yarns. The type of yarn material (e.g. <a href="Cotton" title="Cotton">cotton</a>, <a href="Polyester" title="Polyester">polyester</a>, <a href="Linen" title="Linen">linen</a>), the thickness of the yarn, and the type of weaving machinery will determine the sizing recipe.
</p><p>Often, the sizing liquor contain <a href="Tallow" title="Tallow">mutton tallow</a>. Mutton tallow is an animal fat, used to improve abrasion resistance of yarns during weaving.
</p><p>The sizing liquor is applied on warp yarn with a warp sizing machine. After the weaving process, the fabric is <a href="Desizing" title="Desizing">desized</a> (washed).
