    Abstract: o.z. 0050/40418 Stable water-in-oil emulsions of hydrolyzed polymers of N-vinylamides of the formula (I) where R and R1 are each H or C1-C6-alkyl are prepared by polymerization of a compound of the formula I alone or as a mixture with other monoethylenically unsaturated monomers, in the form of a water-in-oil emulsion, to give a water-in-oil polymer emulsion, and subsequent hydrolysis of the polymer, by a process in which hydrolysis of the polymer in the form of the water-in-oil polymer emulsion is carried out in the presence of an acid or base and of from 1 to 30% by weight, based on the polymer, of an emulsifier which is obtainable by (A) reacting a C10-C22-fatty alcohol with epichlorohydrin in a molar ratio of from 1 : 0.5 to 1 : 1.5 to give a glycidyl ether, (B) reacting the glycidyl ether with (1) a saturated C2 C6-alcohol containing from 2 to 6 OH groups or (2) its monoether with a C10-C22-fatty alcohol, in a molar ratio of glycidyl ether to (1) or (2) of from 1 : 0.5 to 1 : 6, in the presence of an acid or base, and (C) alkoxylating the reaction product from (B) with one or more C2-C4-alkylene oxides in a molar ratio of from 1 : 1 to 1 : 6. The polymer emulsions obtainable in this manner are used as drainage aids, retention aids and flocculants in the making of paper and paper products.
