Abstract:
Described are coating compositions having improved antistatic properties and particularly magnetic coating compositions suitable for magnetic recording media. The compositions comprise at least one film-forming synthetic resin and, based on coating solids, from about 0.2 to about 10% of an alkali, alkaline earth, ammonium or amine salt of a perfluoroa-Ikyl sulfonic acid or carboxylic acid.
Abstract:
A process for making paper to enhance the dry strength of the paper produced without substantially reducing its softness comprising adding to a bleached pulp furnish, separately or together, (1) a anionic polymer selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl guar, carboxymethyl bean gum, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl guar, and a carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl guar, with (2) a cationic polymer selected from the group consisting of a cationic guar, a cationic acrylamide copolymer, a cationic bean gum, a cationic amineepichlorohydrin wet strength resin, and both a cationic wet strength resin and at least one of the other said cationic polymers, a composition for adding to a paper-making pulp slurry comprising the said polymers, a method for making the said composition, and a paper product containing the said composition, are disclosed.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for making paper to enhance the softness of the paper produced without reducing its dry strength comprising adding a cellulosic polymeric binder resin to the pulp slurry at the wet end of a paper machine, the binder resin being a cellulosic polymer that exhibits a cloud point in aqueous solution, producing a wet paper web, and drying the web, the polymer being caused to coalesce into fine colloidal particles at a temperature above the cloud point either before or after it is added to the slurry.
Abstract:
A water-soluble drainage-aid composition which is the reaction product of a bifunctional crosslinking agent which may be an epihalohydrin selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin or epibromohydrin, a 1,3-dihalo-2-propanol in which "halo" is chloro- or bromo-, or a glycidyl ester of an alkanesulfonic or arenesulfonic acid, and an oligoamide reaction product of a polyalkylene polyamine with a carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids containing between 5 and 10 carbons and their acyl halides, amides, and esters of alcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms, and tricarboxylic acids containing between 6 and 10 carbon atoms and their acyl halides, amides, and esters of alcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms, with a mole ratio of polyamine to dicarboxylic acid or its functional derivative between 1.5/1 and 2/1 or a mole ratio of polyamine to tricarboxylic acid or its functional derivative of 3/1, the oligoamide reaction product being an amine-terminated oligo(aminoamide) having an average composition of at least two amide groups and at least four amine groups per molecule, the bifunctional crosslinking agent being used a level of between 1.5 and 2.5 moles per mole of oligoamide; a method for making the water-soluble drainage-aid composition, and a method for using the water-soluble drainage-aid composition as a dewatering aid in paper manufacture.

Abstract:
A process of measuring the triboelectric charge generated on a material surface involves simultaneously (a) generating a triboelectric charge on the material surface and (b) measuring the amount of the triboelectric charge thereby generated.
Abstract:
A composition containing a ketene dimer size for sizing paper that is a stable aquasol of positively charged colloidal silica, positively charged colloidal alumina, or positively charged colloidal zirconia, and also contains the ketene dimer, and a method for sizing a paper product of sheeted cellulosic fibers comprising treating the fibers with the said composition, are disclosed.
