Abstract: A tissue product having superior properties of softness, handfeel, and strength is disclosed. The product may show a reduced degree of sloughing, that is, a reduction in the amount of paper particles or flakes that are generated from the product upon the abrasion of the tissue product. In one embodiment, a two furnish process is employed. In some applications, both hardwood fibers and softwood fiber sources may be employed. At least one fiber furnish is fractionated or separated into short and long fiber fractions. The resulting product exhibits reasonably good strength and softness, with reduced sloughing.

Abstract: The bleeding of lignosulfonates from lignosulfonate-treated substrates when contacted under humid conditions is reduced by rendering the lignosulfonates water-insoluble via reacting them with an amine polymer-epichlorohydrin adduct containing at least one quaternary ammonium group under acidic conditions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of using steam to achieve simultaneous impregnation and drying of lignocellulosic material to improve the strength of lignocellulosic material and to reduce the number of serial processing steps. The steam may be either indigenously generated by way of a heated press or heated nip, or the steam may be externally applied.

Abstract: The strength of lignocellulosic materials is improved by treating them with water-soluble strengthening agents containing sulfonic units, and rendering these agents water-insoluble by reacting them with compounds containing epoxide rings and quaternary ammonium groups. Thus, a substantial reduction or elimination of the bleeding of said strengthening agents from the lignocellulosic materials when touched with wet hands or contacted under humid conditions is achieved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to partially impregnated lignocellulosic materials. When impregnated with strengthening agents, the partially impregnated materials exhibit increased overall strength while maintaining sufficient adhesive bondability of the surface opposite the impregnation surface.
