A water-soluble drainage-aid composition which is the reaction product of a bifunctional crosslinking agent which may be an epihalohydrin selected from the group consisting of epichlorohydrin or epibromohydrin, a 1,3-dihalo-2-propanol in which "halo" is chloro- or bromo-, or a glycidyl ester of an alkanesulfonic or arenesulfonic acid, and an oligoamide reaction product of a polyalkylene polyamine with a carboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of dicarboxylic acids containing between 5 and 10 carbons and their acyl halides, amides, and esters of alcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms, and tricarboxylic acids containing between 6 and 10 carbon atoms and their acyl halides, amides, and esters of alcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms, with a mole ratio of polyamine to dicarboxylic acid or its functional derivative between 1.5/1 and 2/1 or a mole ratio of polyamine to tricarboxylic acid or its functional derivative of 3/1, the oligoamide reaction product being an amine-terminated oligo(aminoamide) having an average composition of at least two amide groups and at least four amine groups per molecule, the bifunctional crosslinking agent being used a level of between 1.5 and 2.5 moles per mole of oligoamide; a method for making the water-soluble drainage-aid composition, and a method for using the water-soluble drainage-aid composition as a dewatering aid in paper manufacture. |
