Patent number: 9644320Abstract: A cellulose reactive glyoxalated copolymer composition and methods of producing and using the glyoxalated copolymer composition to, for instance, strengthen paper or board are discussed. A glyoxalated copolymer composition includes an aqueous medium containing a glyoxalated copolymer, wherein the glyoxalated copolymer is obtained by reaction in an aqueous reaction medium of a dry weight ratio of glyoxalxationic copolymer. The cationic copolymer can have a weight average molecular weight of about 120,000 to about 1 million Daltons, the cationic copolymer can include diallyldimethylammonium halide monomer and acrylamide monomer, and a ratio a ratio of the weight average molecular weight of the cationic copolymer before glyoxalation to weight % of diallyldimethylammonium halide monomer making up the cationic copolymer before glyoxalation can be equal to or greater than 4,000 or range from 4,000 to 40,000 Daltons/weight %.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2014Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: BASF SEInventor: Matthew D.

Patent number: 8703847Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for preparing a cellulose reactive adduct of polyvinylamide and a composition resulting from the method. The preparation of the cellulose reactive adduct is carried out close to a Critical Concentration defined herein. When the reaction is run close to this Critical Concentration, the risk of gelation is minimized, consumed glyoxal is maximized, and shelf live is enhanced. Additionally, the glyoxalated vinylamides of the present invention impart improved wet and dry strengthening efficiency to paper and paperboard when compared to adducts disclosed in previously described art.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2012Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: BASF SEInventor: Matthew D. Wright
