Abstract
The present invention provides a paper quality improver composition for papermaking, which is excellent in improved efficiencies of bulky value, brightness, opacity and the like of pulp sheet, demanded at lightening paper and increasing a blending amount of deinked pulp, even by adding a small amount thereof as well as which is further excellent in an improved efficiency of paper-strength. That is, the present invention provides a paper quality improver composition for papermaking; which comprises (A) a compound having lyotropic degree measured by a specific method of not less than 4% and satisfying at least two of (i) standard improved bulky value of not less than 0.02 g/cm , (ii) standard improved brightness of not less than 0.5 point, and (iii) standard improved opacity of not less than 0.5 point and (B) a water-soluble polymer satisfying an average molecular weight and/or a viscosity thereof of specific value.
