Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method for sizing paper wherein the sizing agent employed is a hydrophobic cellulose reactive sizing agent such as a ketene dimer sizing agent. There is employed in combination with the sizing agent a novel sizing accelerator whereby off-the-machine sizing is improved substantially. Disclosed also is a novel sizing composition comprised of the sizing agent and the accelerator, the accelerator being a poly(diallylamine)epihalohydrin resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
In the method of producing sized paper wherein there is employed in the internal or external sizing thereof an aqueous emulsion of a hydrophobic cellulose reactive sizing agent selected from the group consisting of ketene dimers, acid anhydrides, and organic isocyanates, the improvement wherein there is employed in combination with the sizing agent a sizing accelerator, said accelerator being selected from a water-soluble poly(diallylamine)-epihalohydrin resin and a water-soluble poly(N-methyldiallylamine)-epihalohydrin resin in an amount sufficient to increase the off-the-machine sizing effect of the sizing agent, the amount of epihalohydrin used in reaction with the poly(diallylamine) being from about 0.5 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of secondary amine present in the polymer and the amount used in reaction with the poly(N-methyldiallylamine) being from about 0.5 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of tertiary amine present in the polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
In the method of producing sized paper wherein there is employed in the internal or external sizing thereof an aqueous emulsion of a hydrophobic cellulose reactive sizing agent selected from the group consisting of ketene dimers, acid anhydrides, and organic isocyanates, the improvement wherein there is employed in combination with the sizing agent a sizing accelerator, said accelerator being selected from a water-soluble poly(diallylamine)-epihalohydrin resin and a water-soluble poly(N-methyldiallylamine)-epihalohydrin resin in an amount sufficient to increase the off-the-machine sizing effect of the sizing agent, the amount of epihalohydrin used in reaction with the poly(diallylamine) being from about 0.5 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of secondary amine present in the polymer and the amount used in reaction with the poly(N-methyldiallylamine) being from about 0.5 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of tertiary amine present in the polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the sizing agent is a ketene dimer and the sizing accelerator is poly(N-methyldiallylamine)-epichlorohydrin resin and the amount of epichlorohydrin used in reaction with the poly(N-methyldiallylamine) is from about 1 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of tertiary amine present in the polymer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
49 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the sizing agent is an acid anhydride and the sizing accelerator is poly(N-methyldiallylamine)-epichlorohydrin resin and the amount of epichlorohydrin used in reaction with the poly(N-methyldiallylamine) is from about 1 mole to about 1.5 moles per mole of tertiary amine present in the polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
