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 improved creping adhesive is prepared by first reacting a dibasic carboxylic acid, or its ester, half-ester, or anhydride derivative, with a polyalkylene polyamine, preferably in aqueous solution, under conditions suitable to produce a water soluble polyamide. The water-soluble polyamide is then reacted with an epihalohydrin until substantially fully cross-linked, and stabilized by acidification with phosphoric acid at the end of the polymerization reaction to form a water-soluble poly(aminoamide)-epihalohydrin creping adhesive that is re-wetable and facilitates water spray removal of buildup so as to lengthen the life of the creping blades, with attendant significant decrease in downtime and maintenance.

Phosphoric acid quenched creping adhesive

A modified creping adhesive composition, comprising an adhesive component and at least one terpene modifier, and its use in the production of creped paper products by a process which includes the steps of adhering a paper web to the surface of a drying cylinder and separating the paper web from the drying cylinder with a creping blade.

Modified creping adhesive composition and method of use thereof

Certain alkylamides and alkylimides, such as hydroxy alkylamides, which ordinarily act as softening agents and substantially reduce the tensile strength of the tissue sheet in accordance with the strength/softness curve, have been found to have a significantly lesser effect on the strength of tissue sheets which have been noncompressively dewatered and dried. As a result, soft uncreped throughdried tissue sheets can be made to have a higher strength:softness ratio by incorporating these chemicals into the furnish.
