Cationised polysaccharide product

Abstract

The invention relates to a cationised polysaccharide product comprising a polysaccharide having at least one first substituent having an aromatic group and at least one second substituent having no aromatic group. The invention further relates to a cationised polysaccharide product comprising one or more polysaccharides having at least one first substituent having an aromatic group and one or more polysaccharides having at least one second substituent having no aromatic group. The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of a cationised polysaccharide product comprising reacting one or more polysaccharides with at least one aromatic agent and at least one non-aromatic agent. The invention further relates to a method for the preparation of a cationised polysaccharide product comprising reacting a first polysaccharide with at least one aromatic agent, reacting a second polysaccharide with at least one second non-aromatic agent, and then mixing the polysaccharides obtained. The present invention further relates to a process for production of paper from an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibres, and optionally fillers, which comprises adding to the suspension a cationised polysaccharide product comprising a polysaccharide having (i) at least one first substituent having an aromatic group, and (ii) at least one second substituent having no aromatic group, forming and draining the suspension on a wire. The invention also relates to a process for production of paper from an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibres, and optionally fillers, which comprises adding to the suspension a cationised polysaccharide product comprising (i) at least one polysaccharide having at least one first substituent having an aromatic group and (ii) at least one polysaccharide having at least one second substituent having no aromatic group, wherein one or both of the polysaccharides according to (i) and (ii) are cationic and/or amphoteric; forming and draining the suspension on a wire. The invention further relates to a process for production of paper from an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibres, and optionally fillers, which comprises separately adding to the suspension (i) at least one polysaccharide having at least one first substituent having an aromatic group; and (ii) at least one polysaccharide having at least one second substituent having no aromatic group, wherein one or both of the polysaccharides according to (i) and (ii) are cationic and/or amphoteric; forming and draining the suspension on a wire.
