Dialdehyde Starch Hydrazones: Preparation and Properties of Cationic Dispersions
1976
Cationic dialdehyde starch (DAS) dispersions have been prepared in water at 15% concentration by a new cooking procedure. A stable fluid form of cationic DAS, a wet- and dry-strength agent for paper, should facilitate commercial use. Cationic DAS dispersions of pH 3.0 stored in polyethylene containers at 25°C or below were unchanged after 6 months; other storage conditions were also evaluated. An unexpected benefit of the new preparative conditions was a 40% reduction of cationizing agent, betaine hydrazide hydrochloride, without loss of effectiveness. Further savings may be possible by blending cationic DAS with unmodified starch; wet- and dry-strength improvements were maintained in paper with a blend containing 33% unmodified starch and 67% cationic DAS.
