Abstract: Fibrous webs that retain less of cationic lotion components are obtained by treating the fibers of the web with a solution of a chemical blocking material prior to soaking the web with a chemical lotion containing the cationic lotion component. The chemical blocking material can comprise at least one of a polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin; a polyamide resin; a melamine resin; or a high molecular weight cationic chemical compound. The resultant web material is suited for use in the manufacture of wet wipes and especially disinfectant wet wipes.
