Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to glyoxalated polyacrylamide (GPAM) compositions, methods of preparation and methods of use thereof, particularly in the paper industry. Moreover, the present disclosure generally pertains to cationic GPAM compositions, methods of preparation and methods of use thereof in papermaking applications and in products such as paper-based products, wherein the cationic GPAM compositions may provide increased wet and/or dry strength to the paper-based products, and wherein such cationic GPAM compositions optionally require a reduced volume of an aqueous carrier for storage or transport compared to a volume of an aqueous carrier needed for conventional GPAMs used in papermaking.

Abstract: An improved process for making paper or paper board is provided. The process comprises providing a cellulosic fibre suspension comprising recycled fibre material, and having a conductivity of at least 1.5 mS/cm; and adding a glyoxalated copolymer of acrylamide and cationic monomers and inorganic siliceous microparticles to the fibre suspension, sequentially or simultaneously. Advantages comprise improved productivity of the process, and paper strength.
