Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing paper or cardboard, which comprises adding (I) an aqueous composition having a pH ≤6 and (II) at least one water-soluble polymeric anionic compound to a paper stock having a pH in the range from 6 to 8, and then dewatering the paper stock, forming sheets and drying, where the aqueous composition comprises (a) polymers having primary amino groups and/or amidine groups, with a total content of these groups of ≥1.5 meq/g polymer, and (b) 0.01 to 50 mol% of 1,4-cyclohexanedione (b), based on the total amount of primary amino groups and/or amidine groups in the polymers, and also to the paper or cardboard produced accordingly.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of making paper or paperboard in which a cellulosic thin stock is provided and subjected to one or more shear stages and then drained and a moving screen to form a sheet which is dried, wherein the process employs a retention system which is applied to the thin stock, said retention system comprising as components i) a blend of different cationic polymers and ii) a microparticulate material, in which the blend of cationic polymers comprises, a) a cationic polymer having a charge density of at least 3 mEq per gram and a molar mass of greater than 700,000 Da, b) a cationic polymer having a charge density of below 3 mEq per gram and an intrinsic viscosity of at least 3 dl/g, wherein one of the components of the retention system is dosed into the thin stock after the final shearing stage and the other is dosed into the thin stock before the final shearing stage.

Process for the Manufacture of Paper and Paperboard The present invention relates to a process of making paper or paperboard in which a cellulosic thin stock is provided and subjected to one or more shear stages and then drained and a moving screen to form a sheet which is dried, wherein the process employs a retention system which is applied to the thin stock, said retention system comprising as components i) a blend of different cationic polymers and ii) a microparticulate material, in which the blend of cationic polymers comprises, a) a cationic polymer having a charge density of from 0.5 and below 3 mEq per gram and a molar mass of greater than 700,000 Da, which cationic polymer is selected from polymers containing vinyl amine units and polyethylenimine, b) a cationic polymer having a charge density of below 3 mEq per gram and an intrinsic viscosity of at least 3 dl/g, wherein one of the components of the retention system is dosed into the thin stock after the final shearing stage and the other is dosed into the thin stock before the final shearing stage.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing high dry-strength paper, pulpboard and cardboard by adding cationic, anionic and/or amphoteric starch as a dry-strength agent to the paper material, dehydrating the paper material to form sheets in the presence of cationic polymers as starch retention agents, and using cationic polymer retention agents to increase retention of dry-strength agents made from cationic, anionic and/or amphoteric starch during the production of paper, pulpboard and cardboard.
