Paper strength improving composition, manufacture thereof and use in paper making

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method of making a paper comprising the steps of: a) providing a cationic wet strength resin comprising a polyamidoamine epihalohydrin, a condensation copolymer of epihalohydrin and amine, or combination thereof; b) providing an anionic polymer; c) co-mixing the cationic wet strength resin and the anionic polymer to provide a composition comprising polyelectrolyte complexes; d) providing an aqueous pulp slurry, draining the aqueous pulp slurry on a screen to form a wet fiber web, and drying the wet fiber web to obtain the paper, wherein said co-mixed composition is introduced to the aqueous pulp slurry or on the formed wet fiber web. Embodiments of the present invention further relates to a paper wet strength composition, its use in paper making and a paper obtainable therefrom.
