Abstract: A method of and substances for reducing pitch in pulping and papermaking operations, particularly in furnishes made by mechanical pulping processes containing wood pulp in amounts greater than about 10% by weight, are disclosed. The method comprises adding to a pitch-containing furnish a stable, water dispersible particulate composite substance prepared by irreversibly adsorbing a water soluble cationic polymer, e.g., a poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride), onto an essentially water insoluble particulate substrate, e.g., kaolin, thereby rendering the cationic polymer insoluble and immobile, the cationic polymer being sufficiently electropositive so that the particulate composite pitch control substance exhibits a zeta potential of at least about +30 mV, and preferably from about +60 mV to about +80 mV, the amount of the composite substance added to the furnish being effective to finely disperse pitch for removal as finely-dispersed pitch-containing aggregates in a paper sheet produced from said furnish.

Abstract: A color developing composition for pressure-sensitive recording systems comprising an admixture of an alkylidenediphenol and calcium carbonate having a weight ratio of about 2 parts to about 20 parts phenol per 100 parts calcium carbonate. The admixture is formulated in high solids content coating colors having excellent rheological property and stabilty, which are used to produce CF sheets having a coating weight of about 4 to about 10 g/m.sub.2. Preferably, the composition comprises Bisphenol A in an amount of 4 to 10 parts per 100 parts calcium carbonate and the calcium carbonate weight % in the CF coating is greater than 50%. Other embodiments comprise an aqueous dispersion of the admixture, a pressure-sensitive recording manifold and methods of making the dispersion.
