Abstract: A method for manufacture of paper or board, in which method an inverted solution of cationic polymer is added to the fiber suspension for providing retention enhancement without over-flocculating fiber stock and destruction sheet formation and/or improving drainage and enhancing or at least maintaining strength of paper or board, An inverted solution has a bulk viscosity of 50-150 mPas at 0.2 weight-% cationic polymer concentration and inverted solution comprises cationic polymer obtained by reverse phase emulsion polymerization of a monomer blend comprising non-ionic monomers, 15-50 mol-% cationic monomers, an optionally at most 50 ppm of a crosslinking agent, and a chain transfer agent, and the obtained reverse phase emulsion of cationic polymer is inverted into an aqueous solution.
