A basic aqueous emulsion composition that can be used as a treatment for cellulosic sheets or articles made of cellulosic fibers to provide improved water resistance by forming a discrete coating on the individual fibers that make up the sheet while not substantially limiting the compatibility of the treated sheet with aqueous glues, dyes or inks comprising a major proportion of water, a mixture of wax and rosin, an emulsion stabilizer and a chelating agent. |
