Abstract

Paper of dry strength is produced by forming an aqueous solution of papermaking cellulose fibers and adding thereto a 90:10 to 98:2 copolymer of acrylamide and maleic acid followed by addition of alum. The use of the acrylamide-maleic acid copolymer allows production of paper at a much broader pH range towards the alkaline side which eliminates the need for close control of pH and which substantially reduces corrosion of the papermaking equipment.
