- Example 2 The aqueous compositions according to the invention containing anionic polyurethane (P2) based on an anionic polyurethane of 19% solids, produced from TDI and phenyi diethanoi amine PDEA, which forms the pre-po-y- ⁇ er, which is reacted with a mixture of DMPA and N-MDEA and of which 30 mol% of PDEA is replaced by DPMA N- MDEA, and a colloidal silica (S2) having a molar ratio SiO 2 :Na 2 O of 20, specific surface area of 700 m 2 /g, S-value of 32% and silica content of 15.0%, were evaluated for drainage and retention performance.
- P2 anionic polyurethane
- S2 colloidal silica
- test stock was SC-furnish (furnish for Super Calandered paper) with a pH 7.6, the conductivity of the stock was 0.5 mS/cm, and the consistency was 1,49 g/l.
- the stock was stirred in a baffled jar at a speed of 1500 rpm throughout the test.
- C1 was added to the stock in an amount of 20kg/t (kg/tonne) in each test.
- the drainage time measured on the stock without any additives was 30 seconds and the turbidity was 98 NTU, the drainage time on the stock with addition of C1 only was 14.8 seconds and the turbidity was measured to 52 NTU.
- the anionic polyurethane used in this example was an anionic polyurethane (P3) of 15% solids, produced from GMS and TDI, which forms a pre-polymer, which is reacted DMPA and the colloidal silica (S3) described in US 5,368,833 was a silica sol having a molar ratio SiO 2 :Na 2 O of 45, specific surface area of 850 m 2 /g, S-value of 20% and a silica content of 8.0%, and was modified with aluminium to 0.3% AI 2 O 3 .
- P3 anionic polyurethane
- S3 colloidal silica
- the performance of the aqueous composition according to the invention was compared to the performance of the components added separately.
- C1 was added to the stock followed by 45 seconds of stirring, then the composition S3/P3 was added foiiowed by 15 seconds of stirring.
- the components were added separately the first component was added followed by 30 seconds of stirring and the second components was added followed by 15 seconds of stirring. All additions are calculated as dry on dry stock. The drainage times derived from the different additions to the stock are summarised in Table 3.
