Abstract
A blend which contains homopolymers useful for imparting wet and dry strength to pulp and paper fibers which comprises a major amount of non-ionic polyacrylamide, together with glyoxal to impart crosslinking and polymeric diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DADMAC) as a cationic modifier. A buffer such as tetrasodium pyrophosphate may be used. A dosage of 0.2-5% by weight (preferred 0.5-2% by weight) based on the dry weight of fiber is utilized.
Claims5
A non-ionic water-soluble acrylamide homopolymer blend with glyoxal and containing polymeric diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride as a cationic regulator wherein the blend is utilized as a paper fiber additive and further wherein said blend is comprised of (1) polyacrylamide 40-95% by weight;
- (2) polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride 4-14% by weight;
- and (3) glyoxal 2-50% by weight, and which is utilized in a dosage of 0.2-5% based on dry weight of fiber.
A blend composition for imparting wet and dry strength to paper fibers which composition contains about 90 parts by weight of polyacrylamide;
- 5-20 parts by weight of polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride;
- 10-30 parts glyoxal;
- and 20 parts tetrasodium pyrophosphate.
