  • Soft treated uncreped throughdried tissue
    Patent number: 5614293
    Abstract: A soft uncreped throughdried tissue product is disclosed having uniformly distributed surface deposits of a chemical composition which imparts a benefit to the user, such as a reduction in skin irritation during use. Particularly suitable compositions are those which have a melting point of from about 30.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C. and which are applied to the outer surfaces of the tissue product in melted form, preferably by rotogravure printing. A suitable composition contains an oil, a wax, and preferably a fatty alcohol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 19, 1996
    Date of Patent: March 25, 1997
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Corporation
    Inventors: Duane G. Krzysik, Theodore E. Farrington, Jr., Lee P. Garvey, Cynthia W. Henderson, Robert D. Sauer, Michael J. Smith, Michael C. Tuck

  • Non-nesting multi-ply tissue and method for making same
    Patent number: 5180471
    Abstract: The bulk and absorbency of multi-ply tissue products can be improved by brushing at least one surface of at least one ply of the tissue and plying the tissue product together such that at least one brushed surface is facing inwardly, i.e. is in the middle and not on the outside of the multi-ply product.
