EXAMPLE I
This example represents the preparation of a polyamine in accordance herewith from a epihalohydrin polyether.
Into a reaction vessel equipped with reflux condenser, B
~ ~9~g9 heating means, agitation means, addition funnel and thermometer was charged six hundred and seventy parts (1 mole) of a halohydrin adduct of an alkoxylated polyhydroxy compound.
The adduct consisted essentially of an epichlorohydrin adduct of a propoxylated propylene glycol having a molecular weight of about 400. Under a nitrogen blanket, the polyether was heated to 30C and maintained thereto while two hundred and thirty-six parts (4 moles) of isopropylamine was added thereto over a minute period. The mixture was heated, with stirring, to 60C and maintained there at to effectuate reaction. Some amine was removed to eliminate excess. After the reaction was completed one hundred and sixty parts (2 moles) of 50% NaOH
was added to the vessel to neutralize the amine hydrochloride.
Excess amine was stripped off at 112C and 4 torr. The product was taken up in methanol and sodium chloride was filtered off, followed by stripping off of methanol. A yield of 659.4 parts of a viscous product was obtained. The product had a 3.5% amino nitrogen content corresponding to an 82.5%
conversion of chlorohydrin group.
EXAMPLE II
Using equipment similar to that described in Example I, under a nitrogen blanket 1,435 parts (2.5 moles) of hexaepichlorohydrin was charged to the vessel ànd heated to 60C. With stirring and maintenance of the blanket 295 parts (5 moles) of isopropylamine was added thereto. During the addition, which lasted fifty-five minutes, the temperature was maintained at 60C.
After the addition was completed, the reaction temperature was maintained thereat for thirty-five minutes.
Then, the temperature was raised to 116C at which an exotherm occurred raising the temperature in the vessel to 128C. A
cooling both was applied to reduce the temperature. After , - ~ ~
an additional seventy-five minutes reactio~ time a-t a temperature of between 107 to 125C reflux subsided. Volatiles were, then, stripped up to 128C at 4 torr. Six parts of volatiles were removed and 1,720 parts of a viscous, clear amber product were recovered.
EXAMPLE III
Into a three-liter flask equipped with agitation means, reflux condenser, addition funnels, heating means and thermometer was charged 1,435 parts (2.5 moles) of hexaepichloro-hydrin. The hexaepichlorohydrin was heated to 60C and 147.5 parts (2.5 moles) of isopropylamine was added thereto over a seventy-six minute period.
After the addition was completed, the reactants were further reacted at 60C for an additional forty-five minutes while agitation was maintained.
After the reaction was completed, a pH meter was placed in the flask and B00 parts of 25% NaOH (5 moles) was added thereto over a two hundred and five minute period. The initial pH was 6.74 and the final p~ was 9.55.
Twenty parts of water was then added to the vessel to promote layer separation and after standing for fifteen minutes the upper aqueous layer was decanted. The crude product was washed with 2,210 parts of water. The crude wet product, which yielded 2,502 parts thereof, was stripped - up to a temperature of 11C at 4 ml. A yield of 1427 parts -of a light amber viscous product was, thus, obtained.

This example illustrates the utility of the present polyamines as well as the further reaction thereof with a polyamine.
Into a one-liter flask equipped with heating means, agitation means, thermometer and additional funnel was added 111~199 252 parts (4.2 moles) of ethylene diamine. The diamine was heated to 118C and maintained thereat. At a reaction tempera-ture ranging between 116C and 130C was added 170 parts of the polyamine of Example II hereof. The addition took place over a 175 minute period. The polyamine had previously been heated to 80C to reduce its viscosity.
After the addition was completed, the reactants were stirred for an additional hour at the reaction temperature.
After standing for about fourteen hours, the product was stripped up to 133C at 5 torr. A yield of 180 parts of distillate was recovered. Thus, a yeild of 242 parts of stripped product was obtained. The stripped product was diluted with 161 parts of water to provide 403 parts of 60% polyamine in the hydrochloride form.
Into a one-liter flask was combin3d 134 parts of the hydrochloride solution, 94 parts of water and 40 parts of 50% NaOH. These ingredients were then heated to 98 to 99C
in the flask. Then, 151 parts of a 30% solution of a 670 molecular weight epichlorohydrin adduct of a 400 molecular weight propoxylated propylene glycol polyol was added to the flask at 100C over a 160 minute period. The addition was halted when a neargel state was reached.
The resulting product had a viscosity, as measured by a No. 4 Ford cup at 250C, of 57 seconds. The product evidenced superior properties when evaluated as a paper pulp drainage aid using the Canadian Freeness drainage test.

The crude product was washed with 2,210 parts of water. The crude wet product, which yielded 2,502 parts thereof, was stripped - up to a temperature of 11C at 4 ml. A yield of 1427 parts -of a light amber viscous product was, thus, obtained.
EXAMPLE IV
This example illustrates the utility of the present polyamines as well as the further reaction thereof with a polyamine.
Into a one-liter flask equipped with heating means, agitation means, thermometer and additional funnel was added 111~199 252 parts (4.2 moles) of ethylene diamine. The diamine was heated to 118C and maintained thereat. At a reaction tempera-ture ranging between 116C and 130C was added 170 parts of the polyamine of Example II hereof. The addition took place over a 175 minute period. The polyamine had previously been heated to 80C to reduce its viscosity.
After the addition was completed, the reactants were stirred for an additional hour at the reaction temperature.
After standing for about fourteen hours, the product was stripped up to 133C at 5 torr. A yield of 180 parts of distillate was recovered. Thus, a yeild of 242 parts of stripped product was obtained. The stripped product was diluted with 161 parts of water to provide 403 parts of 60% polyamine in the hydrochloride form.
Into a one-liter flask was combin3d 134 parts of the hydrochloride solution, 94 parts of water and 40 parts of 50% NaOH. These ingredients were then heated to 98 to 99C
in the flask. Then, 151 parts of a 30% solution of a 670 molecular weight epichlorohydrin adduct of a 400 molecular weight propoxylated propylene glycol polyol was added to the flask at 100C over a 160 minute period. The addition was halted when a neargel state was reached.
The resulting product had a viscosity, as measured by a No. 4 Ford cup at 250C, of 57 seconds. The product evidenced superior properties when evaluated as a paper pulp drainage aid using the Canadian Freeness drainage test.
Having, thus, described the invention what is claimed is:
