1. A composition comprising the reaction product of:
- a) a first aqueous solution comprising an oxidized polysaccharide containing aldehyde groups, having a molecular weight of about 1,000 to about 1,000,000 Daltons, said oxidized polysaccharide having an equivalent weight per aldehyde group of about 90 to about 1500 Daltons, said solution containing from about 5% to about 40% by weight of the oxidized polysaccharide; and
b) a second aqueous solution comprising a water-dispersible, multi-arm polyether amine wherein at least three of the arms are terminated by a primary amine group, wherein the multi-arm polyether amine has a molecular weight of about 450 to about 200,000 Daltons, said solution containing from about 5% to about 70% by weight of the multi-arm polyether amine.
