Abstract: The present invention relates to a sizing agent which exerts excellent sizing efficiency even under severe conditions, namely, at an elevated temperature in the papermaking step, or at high conditions with a limited aluminum sulfate addition.The sizing agent for paper of the present invention is derived from i) dehydration condensation of an alkenylsuccinic anhydride and an organic carboxylic acid with a polyalkylene polyamine and ii) saponification of the remaining carboxyl groups with alkali following the dehydration condensation. More particularly, the present invention relates to a water-soluble sizing agent which is obtained by mixing an alkenylsuccinic anhydride with 1 to 20 times by molar equivalent, based on said alkenylsuccinic anhydride, as much as an organic carboxylic acid, adding 0.1 to 2.0 times by molar equivalent, based on said alkenylsuccinic anhydride, as much as a polyalkylene polyamine thereto so as to perform dehydration condensation.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a size composition which shows an excellent sizing effect in neutral to weakly acidic papermaking.Alkanol tertiary amine and fortified rosin, incorporated in the size composition of the present invention, even when prepared as dispersions using a dispersant, are extremely poor in sizing performance in the neutral pH range, whereas the size composition obtained by mixing these components in a ratio according to the present invention and dispersing them using a surfactant specified by the present invention offers an excellent sizing in the neutral to weakly acidic pH range.

Reaction with polyisocyanates may be conducted at room temperature or accelerated by elevating the temperature, such as up to 100.degree. C.
