Abstract:
In antifoams based on oil-in-water emulsions, the oil phase of the emulsion contains(a) C.sub.12 -C.sub.26 -alcohols, distillation residues obtained in the preparation of alcohols by an oxosynthesis or by the Ziegler process and/or(b) fatty acid esters of C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 -carboxylic acids with monohydric, dihydric or trihydric C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alcohols, with or without(c) a hydrocarbon having a boiling point above 200.degree. C. or fatty acids of 12 to 22 carbon atoms,constitutes from 15 to 60% by weight of the emulsion and has a mean droplet size of from 0.5 to 15 .mu.m. The emulsions are stabilized by the addition of from 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, based on the total emulsion, of a high molecular weight water-soluble homopolymer or copolymer of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, acrylamide or methacrylamide.
Abstract:
Cross-linked reaction products obtained by (a) reacting 1 mole of a dicarboxylic acid such as adipic acid with 0.8 to 1.5 moles of a polyalkylene-polyamine such as diethylenetriamine and/or up to 0.4 mole of an omega -aminocarboxylic acid such as W-aminocaproic acid or a lactam thereof, (b) reacting the reaction product of step (a) with 1 to 30 moles of a 1,2-alkylenimine compound such as ethyleneimine per mole of basic nitrogen in the reaction product of step (a) in the presence of a small amount of acid or alkylating agent such as sulfuric acid as catalyst and (c) cross-linking the reaction product of step (b) with 1 to 20 parts of a bifunctional compound such as epichlorohydrin per 100 parts of reaction product. Twenty-five percent solutions of the new products have a viscosity of from 300 to 4,000 centipoises at 25* C.
Abstract:
PAPER OF IMPROVED DRY STRENGTH IS OBTAINED WHEN A NORMALLY LIQUID AND WATER-INSOLUBLE POLYSALT COACERVATE (WHEREIN ONE OF THE POLYMER COMPONENTS IS WEAKLY IONIC) WHICH HAS BEEN RENDERED WATER-SOLUBLE BY ADDITION OF AN IONIZATION SUPPRESSOR IS ADDED TO A PAPERMAKING FIBROUS SUSPENSION UNDER CONDITIONS SUCH THAT THE COACEVATE IS PRECIPITATED AS COLLOIDAL DROPLETS. THE DROPLETS ARE DEPOSITED ON THE FIBERS AND THE FIBERS ARE PROCESSED INTO PAPER IN USUAL MANNER.
Abstract:
A reaction product and process for increasing the wet strength of paper which comprises adding to a slurry of paper fibers selfcross-linking water soluble reaction products prepared from a) epihalohydrins and/or Alpha -dihalo-hydrins such as epichlorohydrin, b) water soluble basic polyamides such as that formed by the reaction of diethylene-triamine and adipic acid, and c) water soluble polyamines such as bis-(3-amino-propyl)amine which contain at least two nitrogen atoms separated from one another by at least three carbon atoms and optionally also by oxygen or sulfur atoms, and contain at least two hydrogen atoms attached to different nitrogen atoms wherein the components b) and c) are used in a proportion of 1-10:1 and component a) is used in an amount of 0.5 to 1.5 mole per basic amino group.
Abstract:
A HIGH DEGREE OF WATER REPELLENCY IS CONFERRED ON PERLITE-CELLULOSE FIBER INSULATION BOARD BY UNIFORMLY INCORPORATING BOTH A SILICONE AND AN ACID ALUMINUM SALT IN THE AQUEOUS BOARD FORMING MIX.
Abstract:
A water soluble thermosetting resin useful as a promoter for paper sizing is described. Polyallylamine or a modified polyallyamine is reacted with epichlorohydrin and/or formaldehyde. The formaldehyde may be reacted with the polyallylamine in the presence of dicyandiamide, urea or an ammonium salt or mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
Paper or paper board is made by passing an aqueous cellulosic suspension through a centriscreen or other shear device and then draining the purified suspension, and an improved combination of retention, drainage, drying and formation is achieved by adding to the suspension an excess of high molecular weight linear synthetic cationic polymer before shearing the suspension and adding bentonite after shearing.
Abstract:
This invention relates to improved rosin sizes, and to improved methods for preparing sized paper. In one embodiment, sized paper is prepared by adding the improved rosin size and a polyamine retention aid to a pulp slurry before sheet formation, without the use of aluminum sulfate. In another embodiment, paper is surface-sized with the improved rosin size in the absence of both aluminum sulfate and retention aids.
Abstract:
Wet pressed fiber board material of high resistance to bending is produced by preparing a layer of fiber from a water suspension of the fiber, said layer being de-watered and pressed to form a coherent flat sheet, wherein raw material is distributed over the surface of said layer in varying quantities and/or qualities in a manner such that the pressed board obtains strip-like surface portions which extend in at least one direction of the horizontal plane of the sheet, said strip-like surface portions having varying density and/or strength properties, whereby the finished board has a higher resistance to bending than a homogeneous sheet having substantially the same average density.
Abstract:
A POLYAMINE HAVING ONLY ONE PRIMARY AMINO GROUP AND ONLY ONE TERTIARY AMINO GROUP IS CONDENSED WITH A DIFUNCTIONAL REACTANT TO FORM APRE-CONDENSATE. THIS PRE-CONDENSATE IS THEN EXTENDED AND QUATERNIZED BY FURTHER REACTION WITH A CHAIN EXTENDER WHICH IS A DIHALOGENATED HYDROCARBON ETHER. ALTERNATIVELY, A DIAMINE HAVING ONE PRIMARY AMINO GROUP AND ONE TERTIARY GROUP IS CONDENSED WITH A DIFUNCTIONAL REACTANT TO FORM A PRE-CONDENSATE WHICH IS THEN EXTENDED AND QUATERNIZED BY FURTHER REACTION WITH A CHIN EXTENDER WHICH IS AN EPIHALOHYDRIN. THE RESULTING PRODUCTS ARE USEFUL AS FLOCCULENTS, AS DRAINAGE AIDS, AND AS DRY STRENGTH RESINS IN PAPER MANUFACTURE.
