The invention provides a paint immersing process for insulating paper, comprising the following steps: step 1, adding insulating paint in a container to blend paint; step 2, drying a base band of the insulating paper; step 3, entirely immersing the processed base band of the insulating paper into the insulating paint; or spraying the insulating paint onto the base band to cover the surface thereof; and step 4, taking out the base band to dry at controlled temperature till solidifying the insulating paint and the base band of the insulating paper. The paint immersing process is simple and practical to operate. The base band can directly cover a conductor as an insulator. As the insulating paint has a certain adhesive property, the structure of conductor with the insulating paper becomes more stable. After the conductor is wound into a coil, free of another immersing process, simplifying production.

A method for manufacturing a carbon fiber sheet, the method including a carbon fiber forming step of heating a resin sheet to a carbonization temperature at a heating rate of 15,000 C./sec or higher, thereby forming a carbon fiber from the resin sheet. In the carbon fiber forming step, the resin sheet is preferably irradiated with an energy ray having an output density of 130 W/mm.sup.2 or higher and an amount of irradiation energy of 0.05 J/mm.sup.2 or more.

A cationic polyether amine dispersant for papermaking fibers comprises the polymeric reaction product of a polyether diamine, a polyether bisepoxide and a quaternary ammonium salt. The polyether diamine, the polyether bisepoxide and the quaternary ammonium salt reactants are reacted in the following molar ratios: the molar ratio of amine functionality of the polyether diamine to epoxide functionality of the polyether bisepoxide is from 0.5:1 to 2:1 and the molar ratio of the amine functionality of the polyether diamine to the epoxide functionality of the quaternary ammonium salt is from 10:1 to 40:1. The dispersant is used in stock preparation used in paper products including absorbent products as well as paperboard.
