Sizing and thickening agents are substances which can increase the size and viscosity of a liquid without substantially changing its other properties. Edible thickeners are generally- used to thicken soups and sauces without altering their taste. Thickeners are also used in explosives, cosmetics, paints and inks.
Hydrocolloids are the most extensively used thickening agents. Starch and its derivatives are the most widely used natural sizing and thickening agents and polyvinyl alcohol is the most widely used synthetic polymer used for sizing.
Sizing agents are mostly used in the paperboard & paper industry. Sizing agents hold the printing ink and provide protection to paper against the penetration of water or other fluids. Chemical processes such as film formation and hydrophobation take place and lead to coating hold-out, effective printability of fine paper and gullibility in recycled grades.
Environmental pollution caused by sizing agents and depletion of mineral resources are the major challenges in the global sizing and thickening agents market.
