Abstract: Cationic crosslinkable polyamidoamine resins which are obtainable by reaction of(A) a water-soluble polyamidoamine prepared from(1) aliphatic or aromatic dicarboxylic acids or functional derivatives thereof, such as anhydrides, esters or half-esters, and .omega.-aminocarboxylic acids containing at least 3 C atoms or lactams thereof, and(2) a polyamine mixture of (.alpha.) polyamines which contain at least two amino groups which are capable of amide formation and at least one further secondary or tertiary amino group, and (.beta.) polyamines which contain only two amino groups which are capable of amide formation,(B) with an epihalogenohydrin, in a molar ratio of 0.7 to 3.5 mol of epihalogenohydrin per mol of basic nitrogen in component (A),(C) with an inorganic base and(D) with 0.2 to 9.0 mol of a halogen-free mineral or carboxylic acid, the acid being added in at least an amount to give a pH of at least 5,are used as agents for imparting wet strength to paper.

Abstract: Water-soluble crosslinkable polymeric compounds which are obtainable by reaction of reaction products, containing halogenohydrin groups, of ammonia or mono- or polyamines and an epihalogenohydrin with inorganic bases and subsequent reaction of the resulting compounds containing epoxide groups with halogen-free sulphonic acids to give compounds containing sulphonic acid ester groups are used for imparting wet strength to paper.

Abstract: Water-soluble crosslinkable compounds which are obtainable by reaction of reaction products, containing halogenohydrin groups, of ammonia or mono- or polyamines and an epihalogenohydrin or 1,3-dihalogeno-2-hydroxypropane with inorganic bases and subsequent reaction of the resulting compounds, which contain epoxy groups, with halogen-free acids or derivatives thereof to give compounds containing 1-acyloxy-2-hydroxypropyl groups are used for providing paper with a wet-strength finish, for aftertreatment of cellulose dyed with reactive and direct dyestuffs and for finishing wool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to agents for increasing the retention of fibres, fillers and pigments and for accelerating drainage in papermaking, and as flocculating agents in the working up of effluents from papermaking by filtration, sedimentation and flotation. They are characterized in that they contain, as active components, one or more nitrogen-containing condensation products which can be obtained by reacting (A) aliphatic polyol-ether-amines which are free from halogen groups, contain cohesive polyether segments and carry no amino groups within these segments, with (B) compounds which are polyfunctional towards amino groups, optionally in the presence of (C) polyaminopolyamides and/or (D) polyalkylenepolyamines, component (B) being employed in an amount such that water-soluble polycondensates which have a viscosity of 100 to 1,000 mPa.s at 25.degree. C. in 25% strength aqueous solution are formed.

Abstract: Non-crosslinking, water-soluble polyamines which can be obtained by reacting(A) basic polyureas which have been prepared by condensation of ureas with polyamines containing at least three amino groups, of which at least one is a tertiary amino group, or with mixtures of these polyamines with aliphatic, araliphatic, cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic polyamines containing two primary or two secondary amino groups or one primary or one secondary amino group, and optionally with .omega.-aminocarboxylic acids containing at least three carbon atoms, or lactams thereof,(B) polyalkylenepolyamines of the general formula ##STR1## in which R denotes H or CH.sub.
