PAPER PULP CONTAINING HIGH AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT (MW) POLYMERS AND INORGANIC PARTICLES; THE POLYMERS ARE ADDED SIMULTANEOUSLY TO THE SUSPENSION

摘要

The invention relates to a process for the production of paper from a suspension of cellulose containing fibres, and optional fillers, wherein a low molecular weight cationic organic polymer, a high molecular weight cationic or amphoteric polymer and anionic inorganic particles are added to the suspension and the suspension is formed and drained on a wire, wherein the low molecular weight polymer has a molecular weight below 700,000, the high molecular weight polymer has a molecular weight above 1,000,000 and said polymers are simultaneously added to the suspension. The invention further relates to a polymer mixture in the form of an aqueous dispersion comprising at least one high molecular weight cationic or amphoteric acrylamide-based polymer having a molecular weight above 1,000,000, at least one low molecular weight cationic organic polymer having a molecular weight below 700,000 and at least one water-soluble inorganic salt, wherein the weight ratio of said high molecular weight polymer to said low molecular weight polymer is within the range of from 9:1 to 1:2.
