Abstract
Abstract A stable aqueous wax emulsion sizing composition comprising a continuous aqueous phase; a waxy material dispersed phase containing up to about 45 percent by weight of wax; about 10-15 percent by weight based on the weight of the waxy material of clay; and a small amount of sulfuric acid. The sizing composition may be applied to a variety of cellulosic products of a fibrous nature to render the finished product water-resistant or waterproof.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
A stable, aqueous wax emulsion as set forth in claim 1, wherein the wax comprises a crude scale wax.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
