Abstract: Addition of a polyhydric alcohol to creping adhesive formulation comprising a water soluble binder increases operational efficiency.

Abstract: Therapeutic gels are provided which promote the healing of wounds and which have a minimum yield point of about 800 poise and a maximum apparent viscosity of about 100,000 cps, which gels comprise water, sodium chloride, and a gelling agent.

Abstract: A web of cellulosic fibers is treated with a water soluble emollient. The emollient used is a triquaternary phospholipid complex of a fatty acid.

Abstract: A preservative composition for a wet wipe product comprising carboxylic acids and grapefruit seed extract.

Abstract: Disclosed are modified cellulosic fibers comprising the reaction product of linear, water-wettable polysaccharides with N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide and methods of making same. The materials are useful in the preparation of products characterized by their increased bulk and absorbency.

Abstract: A wet wipe comprising a porous sheet impregnated with an aqueous lotion and, concentrated near the surface of the sheet, polymeric beads containing a functional ingredient which is useful for treating the human skin or environmental surfaces and which are characterized in providing controlled release of the functional ingredient, and methods of making said wet wipe.

Abstract: A creping adhesive formulation comprising 10-100% by weight of a polymer or copolymer having a Tg greater than 50.degree. C.

Abstract: Disclosed are soft, absorbent and bulky cellulosic fibrous webs which have been treated so that they impart a soothing or emollient effect to the human skin when used for wiping or drying while essentially retaining their water-absorbent property and strength. The agent used in the present invention is a condensation product of an amino acid with a reducing sugar.

Abstract: Addition of a phosphate salt to creping adhesive composition comprising a water soluble binder increases operational efficiency.

Abstract: Disclosed are soft, absorbent and bulky cellulosic fibrous webs which have been treated so that they impart a soothing or emollient effect to the human skin when used for wiping or drying while essentially retaining their water-absorbent property and strength. The agent used in the present invention is a condensation product of an amino acid with a reducing sugar.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying spaced apart discontinuous stripes of a fluid to the surface of a moving web. The apparatus includes a rotating applicator roll partially immersed in a bath of the fluid. A notched doctor blade in contact with the surface of the roll removes fluid from the surface of the roll except in the region of the notches to form spaced apart circumferential beads of the fluid on the surface of the roll. The moving web partially wraps the applicator roll where the beads are formed, but is travelling between 20 to 200 times the speed of the surface of the applicator roll, which results in a relatively even distribution of the fluid, in the form of a discontinuous stripe, on the surface of the web.

Abstract: Disclosed are soft, absorbent and bulky cellulosic fibrous webs which have been treated so that they impart a soothing or emollient effect to the human skin when used for wiping or drying while essentially retaining their water-absorbent property and strength. The agent used in the present invention is lauroamphoglycinate.

Abstract: Delignification and bleaching of lignocellulosic material is obtained with catalyzed hydrogen peroxide in alkaline medium.

Abstract: Cationic polygalactomannan gums and water soluble wet strength resins containing an amic acid and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer, are useful in the preparation of products having improved, off-machine dry strength and wet strength properties.

Abstract: Bleed-fast, dyes cellulosics particularly absorbent papers have been obtained with a particular class of water-soluble, cationic dyes reacted with a water-soluble aldehyde, preferably formaldehyde, glyoxal or glutaraldehyde. An aqueous printing fluid containing the water-soluble cationic dye and the aldehyde, upon drying, produces a water-resistant dyestuff having improved bleed fastness upon cellulosic fibers.

Abstract: Cellulosic fibers, characterized by a lack of swellability and incapable of natural fiber-to-fiber bonding, are produced by a process which comprises treating an aqueous slurry of the fibers with a formaldehyde-free polymeric compound, heating the treated fibers to cause the polymeric compound to react with the fibers, and refiberizing to separate individual, treated fibers. The fibers are useful in the preparation of improved cellulosic webs characterized primarily by their increased bulk and improved softness.

Abstract: Latices which contain an addition polymer comprising an ethylenically unsaturated amic acid and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer are used as binders for fibrous webs to impart wet and dry strength.
