Abstract

The invention relates to a process of applying a polyhydroxy high molecular weight polymer or like material to a substrate, comprising adding to a solution of such material in anionic form a flocculent of oppositely charged form in order to insolubilise such material, and thereafter applying such insolubilised material to said substrate. The invention has particular application in respect of production of paper by adding to the slurry supplied in paper production of an anionic starch and a cationic flocculent in predetermined amounts. The cationic polymer is preferably added prior to addition of the anionic starch. The cationic polymer preferably has a molecular weight of 150,000 or more and the anionic starch is preferably added in an amount of from 75% to 125% of the reaction ratio amount. Preferably, the cationic polymer flocculent is added in an amount of 0.5 kg or more per 1,000 kg of paper substrate and the anionic starch showing an amount of 2 kg or more per 1,000 kg of paper substrate.
