Abstract: The invention relates to a process for reducing sticky contaminants in stock systems containing waste paper and in coated broke, and their reuse in the manufacture of papers. In this process, both polyvinyl alcohols and bentonite are added.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for recycling silicone-coated paper by disintegration and new formation of sheets, which comprises carrying out the disintegration in the presence of one or more salts of monophosphoric esters.

Abstract: Aqueous-dispersed polymer compositions are prepared comprising polymerized therein (a) monovinylidene aromatic monomer (e.g., styrene), (b) acyclic conjugated diene monomer (e.g., butadiene), and (c) ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer(s) (e.g. acrylic and or fumaric acid) and are further benefited by polymerizing therein (d) a cyanoalkyl ester of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The aqueous-dispersed polymers can also comprise polymerized therein an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile monomer such as acrylonitrile. The use of the cyanoalkyl ester, such as 2-cyanoethylmethacrylate (2-CEMA), results in latex polymers with improved performance in paper coating formulations. In particular, paper coatings can be prepared which have improved performance (i.e., wet and dry pick resistance) in offset printing applications.
