  • Patent number: 11795255
    Abstract: Methods for producing paper or cardboard are provided that comprise the steps (A) adding a final polymer A to a first aqueous fibrous material suspension, whereby a second aqueous fibrous material suspension containing final polymer A is created, wherein the final polymer A is obtainable by radical polymerisation of the monomers (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) as described herein in the amounts provided herein; and hydrolysing the starting polymer V in order to obtain the final polymer A, (B) dewatering the second aqueous fibrous material suspension containing final polymer A on a water-permeable substrate to form a wet paper structure, (C) dewatering the wet paper structure, whereby the paper or the cardboard is formed.

  • Patent number: 11680371
    Abstract: A method for producing dried multilayer paper is provided comprising dewatering a first aqueous fibrous suspension, thereby creating a first fibrous web; dewatering a second aqueous fibrous suspension, thereby creating a second fibrous web; spraying one or more of a first fibrous web and a second fibrous web with a spray solution or spray suspension, thereby producing at least one sprayed fibrous web; assembling the first fibrous web with the second fibrous web; dehydrating the resulting layer compound by pressing; then dehydrating by supplying heat, which creates the dried multilayer paper. The spray solution or spray suspension contains water and at least one water-soluble polymer P. The polymer P is obtained by polymerizing: 40 to 85 mol % of a monomer of Formula I in which R1=H or C1-C6-Alkyl; and 15 to 60 mol % of one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers.

  • Patent number: 11293143
    Abstract: A method to produce dried single-layer or multi-layer paper is disclosed. The method comprises, for a single-layer paper, preparing and spraying a partially dehydrated first fibrous web with a spray solution or suspension to give a sprayed partially dehydrated first fibrous web, and dehydrating the sprayed partially dehydrated first fibrous web by applying heat to form a dried single-layer paper; or, for a multi-layer paper, preparing and spraying a partially dehydrated layer compound with a spray solution or suspension to form a sprayed layer compound, and dehydrating the sprayed layer compound by applying heat to form a dried multi-layer paper. The spray solution or suspension comprises water and at least one water-soluble polymer P, which is obtained by polymerizing: (i) a monomer of formula H2CCHNHC(0)R1, where R1 is H or C1-C6- alkyl; and (ii) one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers different from monomer (i).

  • Publication number: 20220033540
    Abstract: Methods for producing final polymer A are provided that comprise the following steps: (A) providing a starting polymer V, the starting polymer V being obtainable by radical polymerization of the monomers (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) as described herein in the amounts provided herein; and (B) hydrolyzing the provided starting polymer V under alkaline conditions to obtain the final polymer A, wherein the N—C(?O)R1 groups of formula (I) at least partially hydrolyze the monomers (i) polymerized into the starting polymer V to form primary amino groups. Certain final polymers A obtained are useful for a method for producing paper or cardboard comprising adding certain final polymers A to a first aqueous pulp suspension, dewatering the obtained second aqueous pulp suspension containing certain final polymers A on a water-permeable substrate to a wet paper structure, and further dewatering of the wet paper structure into a paper or cardboard.
