The present invention is an adhesive or coating composition that is dispersible
or dissolvable in water, making it useful in as a coating or adhesive in paper
intended for recycling. The composition of the present invention is cationically
charged thereby binding with the fibers of the paper slurry and thus, resulting
in reduced deposition of adhesives on equipment during the recycling process. The
presence of the composition of the present invention results in stronger interfiber
bonding in products produced from the recycled fibers.
