This invention brings a new aspect in papermaking by spraying hydrophobic chemical directly onto the paper surface in the dryer section of the paper machine, as a two-step process where high solids starch is sprayed on the paper to seal the sheet's surface and thereafter the hydrophobic chemical is sprayed on the paper surface. This invention is a completely new method of hydrophobic sizing, spraying a small amount of a suitable hydrophobic chemical on the moving web in the dryer section, instead of adding hydrophobic chemical in the wet-end of the paper machine, or mixing it in with starch at a size press. This invention reduces the amount of hydrophobic chemical used compared to any of the other processes, it simplifies wet-end chemistry, and it puts the hydrophobic sizing exactly where it is needed, on the paper's surface, which in many cases will be a single side of the paper.
