The present invention relates to the use of a quaternary ammonium complex comprising at least one non-cyclic amide as a modifier for a creping adhesive used on a creping cylinder, e.g., a Yankee dryer.

Creping adhesive modifier and process for producing paper products

An aqueous formulation of a high solid content fully functional thermosettable wet strength resin designed for use in the manufacture of paper products is disclosed. The wet strength resin is the product of reaction of an epihalohydrin and an end-capped polyaminamide polymer. The thermosetting wet strength resins are useful in the manufacture of improved absorbent paper products such as bathroom tissues, facial tissues, napkins, towels, and paperboard products such as dairy cartons and bag paper.

Wet strength thermosetting resin formulations and polyaminamide polymers suitable for use in the manufacture of paper products

The invention relates to hydrophilic, humectant, soft, pliant, single-ply or multi-ply absorbent papers in the form of a towel. These humectant paper products are formed by supplying a furnish to headbox comprising: Cellulosic papermaking fiber consisting essentially of recycle fiber, hardwood fiber, softwood fiber, and mixtures thereof; and optionally up to 50% synthetic fibers and a softener which has a melting range of about 0&deg;-40&deg; C. wherein the softener comprises an imidazoline moiety formulated in organic compounds selected from the group consisting of alkoxylated aliphatic polyols, alkoxylated aliphatic diols, aliphatic polyols, aliphatic diols and a mixture of these compounds, wherein the process of adding the softener is controlled to retain a ratio of the average particle size of dispersed softener to the average fiber diameter in the range of about 0.01 to 15 percent: wet pressing said nascent web, creping said web from said Yankee, and recovering the paper products. These products are also suitably prepared using through drying methods with or without the use of a Yankee Dryer, and the products exhibit a unique combination of properties designed to appeal to consumer preferences. In many applications, these products need not be creped, and in that case they do not have the serpentine configuration.

Hydrophilic, humectant, soft, pliable, absorbent paper having wet strength agents

A process is disclosed for the manufacture of a hydrophilic, humectant, soft, pliant single-ply or multi-ply absorbent papers to which an organic permanent or temporary wet strength agent has been added. Also novel absorbent papers having temporary or permanent wet strength properties are disclosed. These are useful as bathroom tissue and napkins. These products are suitably also prepared using through air drying methods with or without the use of a Yankee dryer, and the products exhibit a unique combination of properties designed to appeal to consumer preferences. In many applications, these products need not be creped, and in that case they do not have the serpentine configuration.
