Description

The present invention relates to a cationic resin aqueous solution having a low content of a low-molecular organic halogen compound and having a negative Ames Test determination, which is one of the potent evaluation methods for carcinogenicity, and The present invention relates to a cationic resin aqueous solution in which a thermosetting resin obtained by reacting a cationic resin aqueous solution with a basic substance is useful as a wet paper strength agent.

As a wet paper strength enhancer for paper, (1) an epoxy group-containing water-soluble resin obtained by reacting a hydrohalide salt of poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) with epihalohydrin, and (2) poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) ) To form an epoxy group-containing water-soluble resin by reacting with an epihalohydrin, and then reacting an inorganic acid to convert the resulting epoxy group to a halohydrin group (hereinafter referred to as polyamine aqueous solution). It is publicly known that a thermosetting resin aqueous solution obtained by further reacting a base with -base (sometimes referred to as -epihalohydrin resin) is useful (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In recent years, the content of low-molecular-weight organic halogen compounds suspected of carcinogenicity containing 1,3-dihalogeno-2-propanol derived from epihalohydrin as a main component is low, and the resin itself has low carcinogenicity. There is a need for a resin that meets the high demands of aqueous cationic resin solutions, particularly aqueous cationic resin solutions for wet paper strength enhancers.

As an example of a method for reducing the low-molecular-weight organic chlorine compound of the polyamine-epihalohydrin resin, an example in which the epihalohydrin used for resin production is reduced is disclosed (for example, see Patent Document 2). However, the concentration of the low molecular weight organic chlorine compound relative to the resin solid content concentration is high, and it cannot be said that the reduction of the low molecular weight organic chlorine compound is sufficient. Furthermore, no mention is made of the Ames test.

In addition, as a method for reducing the low-molecular organic chlorine compound of the polyamine-epihalohydrin resin, an example using poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) having an anionic substance other than hydrohalic acid as a salt is disclosed (for example, patent) Reference 3). Here, sulfates, bisulfates, nitrates, perchlorates, trichloroacetates and sulfonates are listed as salts of anionic substances other than hydrohalic acid. However, the concentration of the low molecular weight organic chlorine compound relative to the resin solid content concentration is high, and it cannot be said that the reduction of the low molecular weight organic chlorine compound is sufficient.

Acids used to form poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) acid addition salts from poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, thiosulfuric acid, nitric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid Phthalic acid, methylsulfuric acid, methanesulfonic acid, dodecanesulfonic acid, octadecanesulfonic acid, isethionic acid, taurine, other organic acids having a sulfonic group, and mixtures thereof, and 1,3-dihalogeno-2-propanol The organic acid having a sulfone group is preferable, and sulfamic acid is particularly preferable in that it can reduce the content of a low molecular weight organic halogen compound containing as a main component and is negative in the Ames test.

The amount of amino groups in the poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) acid addition salt is calculated by the following formula.

The molar ratio of epichlorohydrin to amino groups in the poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) acid addition salt is 0.85 to 1.25 equivalents, preferably 0.95 to 1.1 equivalents. (Hereinafter, the molar ratio to the amino group in the poly (N-alkyldiallylamine) acid addition salt may be simply abbreviated as “equivalent”). When the molar ratio of epichlorohydrin is larger than 1.25 equivalents, the content of low-molecular-weight organic halogen compounds mainly composed of 1,3-dihalogeno-2-propanol in the final product increases, and Ames The test determination tends to be positive, and the object of the present invention may not be achieved. On the other hand, when the molar ratio of epichlorohydrin is less than 0.85 equivalent, the resulting cationic resin aqueous solution becomes negative in the Ames test, but the cationic resin aqueous solution was reacted with a base.

In the Ames test in the present invention, an auxotrophic strain of Salmonella typhimurium (histidine-requiring strain His-) that cannot grow without histidine because histidine, which is a kind of amino acid, cannot be biosynthesized is used. When a mutation is induced by a chemical substance, a reverse mutation occurs and histidine can be synthesized (histidine non-requiring strain His +) and grows in a medium containing only glucose without histidine to form a white colony. The Ames test is a method for examining a reverse mutation that changes from histidine requirement to non-requirement in this way. This Ames test, also called the Ames test, is a short-term search for carcinogenicity assessment that is currently widely used around the world, as described in the Medical Dictionary 18th edition, page 215 (published by Nanzan Hall).

In addition, many carcinogenic substances enter the body of mammals and undergo metabolic activation to exhibit carcinogenicity. However, since microorganisms are deficient in the metabolic activation enzyme system of many carcinogenic substances, in the Ames test, the metabolic activation enzyme obtained by adding coenzymes to the metabolic activation enzyme obtained from the liver of rats, etc. Two types of tests are performed: a metabolic activation test performed with the addition of the system (S9mix) and a non-metabolic activation test performed without the addition of the metabolic activation enzyme system (S9mix). In the present invention, only the metabolic activation test is performed because the metabolic activation test shows stronger mutagenicity of the polyamine-epihalohydrin resin. The operation procedure of the Ames test is described in detail in, for example, “Antimutagen / anticarcinogen and its search method” edited by Yukiaki Kuroda (Kodansha), etc., and will be briefly described here.

To a sterilized test tube, add 0.1 ml of a test substance solution (polyamine-epihalohydrin resin aqueous solution), 0.5 ml of S9mix, and 0.1 ml of a test strain preculture solution, and stir with a mixer. It is then preincubated for 20 minutes with shaking at 37 ° C. After pre-incubation, add 2 ml of soft agar containing 0.05 mM L-histidine-0.05 mM D-biotin and 0.6% NaCl, 0.6% agar (Difco Bactoagar) to the test tube. Pour onto glucose agar plate, spread evenly, and shield from light. After culturing at 37 ° C. for 48 hours or more, the number of colonies generated by back mutation is counted. A positive mutation is determined when the number of revertant colonies increases more than twice the number of colonies in the solvent control test using sterile distilled water instead of the test substance solution.
