  • Dispersible fibrous structure and method of making same
    Patent number: 7776772
    Abstract: A dispersible fibrous structure having an in-use wet tensile strength of at least about 40 g/cm; a disposable wet tensile decay of at least about 35% and a method of making the structure. The structure has at least one property selected from a group consisting of: a wet CD maximum slope of less than about 12 kg/7.62 cm, a wet CD Elongation of greater than about 50%, a low elongation CD modulus of less than about 5.0 kg/7.62 cm, and a wet CD Bending of less than about 0.05 gf cm/cm.

  • Dispensing carton for paper sheet products
    Patent number: 6672475
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing carton (200) containing a clip of interfolded sheets of a paper product, comprising: (a) a top wall (100) having a dispensing opening (180) through which the sheets (280) are withdrawn from the carton; (b) two pairs of opposing side walls (120, 140); (c) a bottom wall; (d) a dynamic friction reduction material (20) affixed to at least a portion of the inner surfaces of at least one of the pairs of opposing side walls; wherein the dispensing force required to dispense a sheet from the carton is reduced.

  • Cleaning articles comprising a high internal phase inverse emulsion and a carrier with controlled absorbency
    Patent number: 5908707
    Abstract: Wet-like cleaning wipes and similar articles are described. These wipes comprise a carrier that provides controlled fluid absorbency and an emulsion applied to the carrier. The emulsion comprises a continuous external lipid phase and a polar (e.g., water) internal phase. The emulsion is sufficiently brittle that it ruptures when subjected to low shear pressures during use to release the dispersed polar phase. The carrier allows the released internal phase to initially reach and remain on the surface being cleaned, but then absorbs the material at the end of the wiping process.
