Engine sizing


[Sizing for the paper industry]
The process of adding a water-resistant agent (called a size) to the paper stock during the papermaking process or applying it to the surface of the paper to make it resistant to the penetration of liquids into paper and paperboard. The former is called internal sizing or engine sizing, and the latter is called surface sizing or tub sizing.
[Inner surface sizing]
Washi paper is made by adding paste extracted from the roots of the tororo-aoi plant, which in part serves as the size.
