Abstract

A composition and method for inhibiting the deposition of white pitch on the surfaces of papermaking equipment during the processing of recycled coated broke. The process involves adding to the coated broke during repulping a composition having a first compound of a tetrafunctional alkoxylated diamine having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are ethylene oxide or propylene oxide and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are not the same, and a second compound selected from the group consisting of a phosphate, phosphonate and phosphonic acid.
