Abstract
Abstract Paper and paperboard of high dry strength are produced by adding a dry strength enhancer to the paper stock and dewatering the paper stock with sheet formation by using as the dry strength enhancer a mixture of a cationic polymer which contains as characteristic monomers copolymerized units of (a) diallyldimethylammonium chloride, (b) N-vinylamine or (c) a substituted or unsubstituted N-vinylimidazoline and has a K value of not less than 30, and natural potato starch which is converted into a water-soluble form by heating in an aqueous medium at above the gelatinization temperature of natural potato starch in the absence of any oxidizing agents or alkali.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A process for producing paper and paperboard of high dry strength by adding a mixture of from 1 to 20 parts by weight of a cationic polymer which contains as characteristic monomers copolymerized units of (a) diallyldimethylammonium chloride, (b) N-vinylamine or (c) an N-vinylimidazoline of the formula ##STR8## where R 1 is H, C 1 -C 18 -alkyl or ##STR9## R 5 and R 6 are each H, C 1 -C 4 -alkyl or Cl, R 2 is H, C 1 -C 18 -alkyl, ##STR10## R 3 and R 4 are each H or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl and X - is an acid radical, and which has a K value of not less than 30, and 100 parts by weight of natural potato starch which is converted into a water-soluble form by heating in an aqueous medium at above the gelatinization temperature of natural potato starch in the absence of any oxidizing agent, polymerization initiator or alkali, as a dry strength enhancer to the paper stock and dewatering the paper stock with sheet formation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A process as claimed in of claim 1, wherein the dry strength enhancer used is a mixture obtainable by heating natural potato starch in the presence of a homopolymer of diallyldimethylammonium chloride having a K value of from 60 to 180.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dry-strength enhancer used is a mixture obtainable by heating natural potato starch in the presence of a homopolymer of N-vinylformamide in which from 70 to 100 mol % of the formyl groups on the polymer have been eliminated to form N-vinylamine units, the hydrolyzed polymer having a K value from 75 to 170.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
109 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dry-strength enhancer used is a mixture obtainable by heating natural potato starch in the presence of a hydrolyzed copolymer which contains (a) from 95 to 10 mol % of N-vinylformamide and (b) from 5 to 90 mol % of vinyl acetate or vinyl propionate as copolymerized units, from 70 to 100 mol % of the formyl groups in the polymer having been eliminated to form N-vinylamine units and from 70 to 100 mol % of the acetyl and propionyl groups having been eliminated to form vinyl alcohol units, and the hydrolyzed polymer having a K value from 70 to 170.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dry-strength enhancer used is a mixture obtainable by heating natural potato starch in the presence of a homopolymer of a substituted or unsubstituted N-vinylimidazoline or of a copolymer thereof with acrylamide and/or methacrylamide having a K value from 80 to 220.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
