Sizes are vital for textile production. They protect yarn from splitting and prevent abrasion during weaving. Our high-quality KURARAY POVAL™ and ELVANOL™ polyvinyl alcohols and our colorless, transparent and virtually odor-free Liquid Isoprene Rubber (L-IR), Liquid Butadiene Rubber (L-BR) and Liquid Styrene/Butadiene Rubber (L-SBR) are ideal for this. They are all marketed under the KURARAY LIQUID RUBBER brand.
In addition, KURARAY POVAL™ and ELVANOL™ can be desized in hot water and are more effective than starch.
