Polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins are used to provide mois­ture resistance of the paper, and glycerol is used for the elasticity of the coating. At the same time, the complex effect of these components in the mixture for surface treatment of paper on the quality of the products has not been sufficiently investigated.</p> <p><strong>Methods. </strong>Compositions based on aqueous solutions of polyvinyl alcohol brand 7/18 of the highest grade, polyamideamineepichlorhydrin EKA WS 325 and glycerol brand PK-94 were used to obtain a moisture-resistant, waterproof and fat-proof packaging material. Polyacryla­mide in the amount of 0.25 wt. % was used as a func­tional additive, a viscosity regulator of the com­position, and water was used as a solvent. Model compositions with different ratios of the main components in accordance with the central com­posite rotatable plan of the experiment were app­lied to the tests according to the methods adopted in the pulp and paper industry. STAT-SENS software was used for mathematical processing of the experimental results. A multi-criteria opti­mization method was used to find the optimal range of parameters of the hydrooleophobic composition.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>The 15 model compositions have been developed. The influencing factors were the content of the polyvinyl alcohol, polyami­deamineepichlorhydrin, glycerol. The quality indi­cators of the treated paper-base were selected as the response functions of mathematical models: oil permeability, air permeability, destructive force, moisture resistance, surface absorption.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions. </strong>The developed composition is optimal and makes it possible not to exceed its consumption during application to fibrous mate­rial, in particular paper. The composition pene­trates the thickness of the paper to an optimal depth evenly over the entire surface of the paper, which makes it possible to provide the paper with uniform barrier properties, mechanical strength and wet-strength along the plane of the canvas. In addition, glycerol gives elasticity to the resulting coating and prevents it from cra­cking during repeated bending.</p>}, number={1}, journal={ INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC-PRACTICAL JOURNAL COMMODITIES AND MARKETS}, author={OSYKA, Viktor and KOMAKHA , Olha and KOMAKHA , Volodymyr}, year={2023}, month={Mar.}, pages={89–99} }
