Abstract

In the production of sized paper and board using ketene dimer as sizing agent, there is used concomitantly with the ketene dimer a cationic polyelectrolyte so as to increase the sizing effect of the ketene dimer. The cationic polyelectrolyte is normally a dye fixative selected from water-soluble dicyandiamide-formaldehyde condensates. The cationic polyelectrolyte may be mixed with the ketene dimer so as to form a novel sizing composition which is preferably used in the form of an emulsion.
