Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method for sizing paper wherein the sizing agent employed is a hydrophobic cellulose reactive sizing agent such as a ketene dimer sizing agent. There is employed in combination with the sizing agent a novel sizing accelerator. Disclosed also is a novel sizing composition comprised of the sizing agent and the accelerator, the accelerator being a water-soluble nitrogen-containing reaction product of (1) a water-soluble polyaminopolyamide, such as that derived by reaction of adipic acid and diethylene-triamine; (2) an epihalohydrin, such as epichlorohydrin; and (3) a composition comprising, by weight, from about 20% to about 65% bis(hexamethylene)triamine, said composition being the residue obtained after recovery of hexamethylenediamine from its manufacture by hydrogenation of adiponitrile.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
170 words
In the method of producing sized paper wherein there is employed in the internal or external sizing thereof an aqueous emulsion of a ketene dimer sizing agent, the improvement wherein there is employed in combination therewith an aqueous solution of a water-soluble resinous reaction product (A) derived by reaction of (i) an epihalohydrin, (ii) a water-soluble polyaminopolyamide resin, and (iii) a composition comprised of from about 20% to about 65% by weight of bis(hexamethylene)triamine wherein (iii) is used in an amount of from about 2 to 10 parts by weight for each part by weight of (ii) and (i) is used in an amount of from about 0.5 mole to about 1.5 moles for each basic amino group present in (ii) and (iii), said component (iii) being the residue obtained after recovery of hexamethylenediamine from its manufacture by hydrogenation of adiponitrile, the amount of (A) employed being sufficient to provide sized paper containing from about 0.05% to about 0.5% by weight thereof based on the dry weight of the paper.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
