Abstract: A tissue package comprising a plurality of tissues and a dispensing package. The plurality of tissues is compressed in two discrete stages, each of which stage can be released independently from the other. The first stage of compression is less than the second stage of compression. The tissues are transported and stored while under the second stage of compression. The user releases the second stage of compression, whereby the tissues can expand up to the first stage of compression. The user releases the first stage of compression just before installing the plurality of tissues into a dispensing package or dispenses the tissues through a restraint while they are held in the first stage compression.

Abstract: An absorbent article or portion thereof comprises first and second layers joined together intimately in a generally parallel and coextensive manner. Each layer has a pattern of multiple discrete holes or regions of low density which are separated by regions of high density. The layers are aligned to minimize the number of holes or regions of low density of one layer which substantially overlap one or more holes or regions of low density of the other layer. The articles are characterized by better wicking, lower thermal conductivity and improved appearance compared to articles in which a higher degree of overlap of low density areas is noted.A process for making absorbent articles having improved wicking is also disclosed. This process is carried out by aligning the adjacent layers of the absorbent body as described above.

Abstract: Dark colored impurities, 2-aminonaphthalene and 2-naphthol are extracted from crude N,N'-di-2-naphthyl-p-phenylenediamine by contacting with a mixed solvent system comprising (A) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alkanols and alkanediols and (B) at least one alkylated benzene.
