Cationic polymers play a pivotal role in the paper sizing process. Sizing is the process of applying chemicals to paper to control its absorbency and improve its resistance to liquids. Cationic polymers, such as polyamine, polyamide epichlorohydrin (PAE), and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM), are used as retention aids, drainage aids, and strength additives. They neutralize the negatively charged fiber surfaces and fine particles, promoting their flocculation and retention on the paper web. This not only improves the cleanliness of white water but also enhances the distribution of fibers and fillers, leading to a uniform paper structure. In the context of paper sizing, cationic polymers assist in the fixation of hydrophobic sizing agents like alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) or rosin to the fiber surface, improving their efficiency. Moreover, they contribute to the development of internal bond strength, ensuring the paper has adequate stiffness and fold endurance.
