  • Publication number: 20250146224
    Abstract: A self-stabilized glyoxalated polyacrylamide (gPAM) resin composition is disclosed. The gPAM resin composition consists essentially of an aqueous reaction product of a cationic polyacrylamide (cPAM) prepolymer and glyoxal carried out in an aqueous reaction mixture having a total solids of less than a critical concentration of the gPAM resin and a pH of at least about 7.5. The cPAM prepolymer comprises a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least about 5,000 Da and a cationic monomer content of at least about 4, alternatively at least about 10 mol %. The reaction product is prepared without addition of any acid. The gPAM resin composition maintains a substantially single phase for a stability period of at least about 1 day after preparation, without the addition of any acid or other stabilizing compounds. Methods of preparing and using the gPAM resin composition are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20240337070
    Abstract: A drainage-optimized additive composition for papermaking is disclosed. The composition comprises an aqueous media, a glyoxalated polyacrylamide (GPAM) resin, and an anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) resin. The GPAM resin has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least about 5 MDa and a cationic monomer content of at least about 4 mol %. The APAM resin has a Mw of at least about 0.25 MDa, and an anionic monomer content up to about 25 mol %. A method of preparing the additive composition is also disclosed, and comprises preparing a cationic acrylamide (CPAM) prepolymer having a predetermined cationic monomer, selectively glyoxalating the CPAM prepolymer in aqueous media during glyoxalation to give the GPAM resin, and combining the GPAM and APAM resins. The method may be carried out in situ during a papermaking process (i.e., as an on-site method), and may be implemented in different forms during the process of forming paper.
