Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Size press formulations and methods of treating a substrate using the size press formulations. The size press formulations may include solids. The solids may include a polyaluminum chloride compound, starch, an optical brightening agent, and a salt. Suitable polyaluminum chloride compounds include phosphated polyaluminum chloride, sulfated polyaluminum chloride, polyaluminum chloride, polyaluminum silica sulfate chloride, and any combination thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A size press formulation comprising solids, the solids comprising a polyaluminum chloride compound (PAC) and starch, wherein the polyaluminum chloride compound is phosphated polyaluminum chloride. 2. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the solids further comprise an optical brightening agent. 3. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the solids further comprise a salt. 4. The formulation of claim 1 , further comprising water. 5. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises from about 10 weight % to about 15 weight % of the solids. 6. The formulation of claim 5 , wherein the solids comprise a salt and an optical brightening agent, the solids comprise at least about 80 weight % starch, about 10 weight % to about 15 weight % salt, and about 5 weight % to about 10weight % optical brightening agent. 7. The formulation of claim 5 , wherein the solids comprise from about 5weight % to about 20 weight % PAC. 8. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein a pH of the formulation is from about 3 about 8. 9. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the solids comprise about 10 weight % PAC. 10. A size press formulation comprising solids, the solids comprising a polyaluminuin Chloride compound and starch, wherein the polyaluminum chloride compound is polyaluminum silica sulfate chloride. 11. The formulation of claim 1 , wherein the formulation comprises at least 80% by weight of the starch.
