Material applied to a surface to fill pores Also the surface treatment applied to glass fibers to facilitate weaving and to promote adhesion of applied resins
A solution applied to the wall to add slip for ease of smoothing and working the paper Newer solutions such as activators and wall primers have outdated the use of sizing
A gelatinous glue for glazing or sizing canvas, paper, plaster or wood; often made from animal skins
any glutinous material used to fill pores in surfaces or to stiffen fabrics; "size gives body to a fabric"
The treatment of paper which gives it resistance to the penetration of liquids (particularly water) or vapors Sizing improves ink holdout
A generic term for compounds which are applied to yarns to bind the fiber together and stiffen the yarn to provide abrasion-resistance during weaving Starch, gelatin, oil, wax, and man-made polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polystyrene, polyacrylic acid, and polyacetatates are employed
In computing practice, sizing is the process of calculating link transmission speeds and the number of computer/ancillary-equipment modules needed for a particular forecast computing load
(1) The addition of substances to paper that give it water resistance, abrasion resistance and surface bonding strength (2) See: Scaling to top
Compound that binds together and stiffens warp yarn, providing abrasion resistance during weaving Sizing is normally removed and replaced with finish before matrix application
