The invention provides an environment-friendly low-
chlorine wet strength agent and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
adipic acid and tetraethylenepentamine are mixed and react for 2-6 h at the temperature of 170-190 DEG C, and a
prepolymer is obtained; cooling the
prepolymer to 120-140 DEG C, adding a modifier, carrying out a heat preservation reaction for 2-3 h, and adding deionized water to adjust the
solid content to 55-65% so as to obtain a modified
polyamide solution; adding a cationizing agent and
epoxy chloropropane into the modified
polyamide solution, heating to 65-75 DEG C, reacting, and adding acid to adjust the pH value to 2.5-4.5 when the
viscosity of the
system reaches 50-80 mPa.s; adding
sodium hydrogen sulfite, and carrying out heat preservation reaction for 1-2 hours; and adding deionized water to adjust the
solid content to 12-13%, thereby obtaining the environment-friendly low-
chlorine wet strength agent. The specific modifier is adopted to modify a
polyamide main chain, and the cationizing agent is introduced, so that the prepared
wet strength agent not only can remarkably reduce the content of organic
chlorine in a product, but also can improve the dry and wet strength,
water resistance and folding resistance of paper. In addition, the product can also shorten the
curing time of the paper.
