Use of acrylamide copolymer to reduce stickies deposits

摘要

A process for controlling/reducing the deposition of stickies from paper stock suspensions in papermaking involving the steps of: (a) providing a paper stock suspension containing stickies; and (b) contacting the stickies in the paper stock suspension with a copolymer of about 75-95 wt % acrylamide and about 5-25 wt % vinyl acetate.
