Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A composition for improving the wet strength of cellulosic fibrous webs is comprised of an aminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin having an E/N ratio of from about 0.6 to about 2.0 and from about 1% to about 35% of a water soluble cationic polymer based on the weight of the resin. The composition has a total organic chlorine content of from about 0.5% to 1.0% by weight based on the weight of the aminopclyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin.

Abstract: A process for making a cellulosic pulp fiber web having increased wet strength comprising the steps of: (1) adding to an aqueous cellulosic pulp fiber slurry a water soluble cationic polymer consisting of polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride to form a first treated slurry; (2) adding to the first treated slurry an aminopolyamide-epichlorohydrin acid salt resin solution having an E/N ratio of from about 0.6 to about 2.0 so that the weight percent of the cationic polymer is from about 1% to about 35% based on the weight of the resin, thus forming a second treated slurry; and (3) forming a cellulosic pulp fiber web by dewatering the second treated slurry.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to insolubilizers for use with binders in paper coating compositions. There is provided a process for preparing both an insolubilizer and paper coating composition containing the insolubilizer and a binder which, when applied onto paper products, significantly enhances their wet-rub resistance.The insolubilizer is prepared by:(a) forming a glyoxal-urea adduct by reacting from about 1.0 to about 4.0 moles of glyoxal with about 1.0 mole of urea, at an elevated temperature,(b) cooling the glyoxal-urea adduct to room temperature,(c) adding from about 0.5 to about 2.0 moles of free glyoxal to the glyoxal-urea adduct to form an oligomer, and(d) adjusting the pH of the oligomer to from about 5 to about 7.
