N.K.SN.K.S is a special type of sizing agent, which has excellent binding power and can be used in combination with starch, CMC, and other conventional sizing ingredients on hydrophobic and hydrophilic fibres. N.K.S is a replacement of costly polyvinyl alcohol powder.GENERAL CHARACTERISTICSPhysical Appearance: Water white viscous liquidpH: 6.5 - 7.0Miscibility: Freely miscible with cold water giving clear solutionsCompatibility: Compatible with cationic, anionic and non ionic products.APPLICATIONSN.K.S gives warp yarns a smooth and pliable surface and handle, and thusincreases weaving efficiency. The size can be easily removed, which helps in betterdyeing and finishing.N.K.S has good adhesive property. The yarns sized with N.K.S are tough and pliable and are free from rupturing and shedding.In general, the following recipes are recommendedCOTTON YARN SIZING20s - 30s countStarch: 35 kgNR - 2000: 2 kgFrench Chalk: 2 kgMutton Tallow: 1.5 kg Sizing Gum : 0.5 kgAntiseptic Agent: 0.1 kg Size pick up : 10 j: 2%60s countStarch: 35 kgNR - 2000: 3 kgFrench Chalk: 2 kg Mutton Tallow: 1.5 kg Sizing Gum : 0.5 kg Antiseptic Agent: 0.1 kgSize pick up : 12.: t 2 %100s count and aboveStarch: 35 kgNR - 2000: 4 kgFrench Chalk: 2 kg Mutton Tallow: 1.5 kg Sizing Gum : 0.5 kg Antiseptic Agent: 0.1 kgSize pick up : 14.:t 2 %FOR BLENDED YARN SIZINGStarch: 35 kgNR - 2000 : 16 kgFrench Chalk: 1 kgMutton Tallow: 1.5 kgSizing Gum : 0.5 kgAntiseptic Agent: 0.5 kgSize pick up: 16 .:t 2%However, a final recipe will depend upon the type of yarn to be sized, and the machinery being used.
