Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure: Paper, cardboard and board having high dry strength, wet strength and alkali resist-ance are produced by adding resin solutions, which are obtained by reacting homopolymers and copolymers of vinyl-imidazoles with epichlorohydrin in a ratio of from 0.02 to 2.9 moles of epichlorohydrin per equivalent of basic nitrogen in the polymer, to the paper stock and then draining the latter on a screen to form sheets.
Description
- ~2395~7 - 1 - OOZE. 0050t36829 Production of paper, cardboard and board having high dry strength, wet strength and alkali resistance Wet-strength paper is produced in practice by adding to the paper stock at neutral or slightly alkaline pi virtually exclusively resins which are prepared by reacting epichlorohydrin with basic long-chain polyamide-amine of U.S. Patent Z,926,116). Since the polyamide chain on which the resins are based undergoes as hydrolytic cleavage relatively easily, these resins have the disk advantage of a relatively short shelf life. The alkali resistance of the papers treated with these resins is us-satisfactory.
U.S. Patent 3,7û0,623 discloses resins which are prepared by reacting epichlorohydrin with polymers of dip allylaminesO Such products make it possible to prepare papers having high dry strength, wet strength and alkali resistance. However, the resins are very expensive and are therefore not used in industry. The disadvantages of these resins are that they first have to be activated with an alkali in the paper factory before they reach optimum activity, and that they cause pronounced dulling of the whiteness of the paper treated with them.
It is an object of the present invention to pro-vise resins which, when added to the paper stock at neutral or slightly alkaline phi increase the dry strength, wet strength and alkali resistance of the paper thus produced. The resins should be capable of being used directly without activation, and furthermore should not cause any dulling of the whiteness of the paper.
We have found that this object is achieved, in accordance with the invention, by a process for the pro-diction of paper, cardboard and board having high dry strength, wet strength and alkali resistance, by adding an aqueous polymer solution to the paper stock and draining the latter over a screen to form a sheet, if the aqueous polymer solution used is a product which is obtained by I
