- (c') polymerised linoleic or linolenic acid, and
- (c") diethylenetriamine, triethylenetetramine or tetraethylenepentamine,
- in the form of an aqueous preparation having a solids content of 25 to 35 percent by weight and a pH value of 4 to 5;
- wherein component (A) is added in an amount which is 0.01 to 1 percent by weight, relative to the dry-fiber content of the fiber suspension;
- wherein component (B) is added in an amount which is 0.1 to 3 percent by weight, relative to the dry-fiber content of the fiber suspension;
- and wherein component (A) is added 8 to 80 seconds before the fiber suspension reaches the breastbox of the paper machine, and component (B) 3 to 50 seconds before the fiber suspension reaches the breastbox, however at least 5 seconds after the addition of component (A).
- 2. A process according to claim 1, in which there is added as component (A) at a pH value of the fiber suspension of 6.5 to 8: a condensation product from dicyanamide, formaldehyde and ammonium chloride; a cationic polyacrylic amide, having a density of about 100 kg/m.sup.3 and a dynamic viscosity at 20.degree. C. of 5000 to 7000 mPa.s (Brookfield spindle 4, 20 rpm); a cationically modified galactomannan from guar flour having a substitution degree of 0.10 to 0.15; or a maize starch or potato starch cationically modified with a propylene oxide containing quaternary ammonium groups.
- 3. A process according to claim 1, in which the pH value of the fiber suspension is adjusted to 5 to less than 7 with aluminium sulfate.
- 4. A process according to claim 1, in which there is added as component (B) an aqueous preparation of a salt of an epoxide-amine-polyamide reaction product, which is produced in a water-soluble aliphatic alcohol or ether having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, as an inert solvent from a polyglycidyl ether having an epoxide content of 5 to 5.5 equivalents per kilogram as component (a), and a mono-fatty amine and a polyalkyleneaminopolyamide each having an amino group content of 3 to 4 amino group equivalents per kilogram as components (b) and (c), respectively, the pH value of this preparation being adjusted to 4 to 5 by means of an alkanecarboxylic acid having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
