resin having a solids content of from about 8 to 35 percent by weight of said composition from about 0 1 percent to 12 percent by weight of lecithin based on the weight of said resin solids and from about 61 percent to about 92 percent by weight of water and wherein said composition has a ph of about 3 to 5 preferably such composition contains from about 10 percent to 30 percent by weight of said resin solids and 6 to 10 percent lecithin based on said resin solids and 67 to about 89 percent of water these concentrates can also contain small quantities e g up to about 2 or 5 by weight based on the weight of resin solids of various solvents emulsifiers or dispersing agents for the lecithin the lecithin can be added to the aqueous pulp slurry directly or it can first be added to the wet strength resin which is subsequently added to the aqueous pulp slurry preferably the lecithin is incorporated in the wet strength resin as the above described concentrate before addition of these chemicals to the pulp slurry lecithin is not soluble in water therefor it is preferred that a solution emulsion or dispersion of the lecithin be used alternatively hydrolized lecithin can be employed or the lecithin itself can be intimately dispersed into the wet strength resin or pulp slurry such as by mixing a preferred way for getting the lecithin into the wet strength resin or directly into the aqueous pulp slurry is by first emulsifying the lecithin in aqueous ammonia water such as an emulsion containing 5 parts lecithin 4 parts aqua ammonia of 26 baume and 91.
