It should also be pointed out that the scope of the invention is not limited to the particular exemplification herein described as an illustration of its principles, and modifications and changes are possible within the ambit of the claims hereinafter appended.v
I claim:
1. The method of manufacturing cellulose products having high wet strength, which comprises treating crude cellulose with about 40 percent formaldehyde with a limited percentage of concentrated nitric acid, removing the excess of treating liquid, drying the treated cellulose at about 120 degrees C., mixing an excess thereof with untreated crude cellulose and obtaining cellulose articles from said mixture.
2. A process for the production of wet-proof cellulose products which are capable of being wetted and which are absorbent but which do not disintegrate or fray when they become wet, said process comprising providing as initial material about four parts of raw cellulose which has been rendered perfectly wet-proof by treatment with formaldehyde, acid and heat and mixing therewith one part of substantially non-wet-proof cellulose material.
3. That process of preparing cellulose for the manufacture of paper towels and other wet-proof products and which consists in treating raw cellulose with a mixture of formaldehyde and nitric acid exposing said mass to the action of heat at substantially 120 C., and mixing with the treated cellulose a quantity of raw untreated cellulose.
4. That process of preparing cellulose for the manufacture of paper towels and other wet-proof products and which consists in treating raw cellulose with a mixture of formaldehyde and nitric acid exposing said mass to the action of heat at substantially 120 C., and mixing with the treated cellulose a quantity of raw untreated cellulose in the proportion of four parts treated and one part of untreated cellulose.
5. That step in the process of preparing a wetproof cellulose product which consists in treating raw cellulose with a mixture of formaldehyde and concentrated nitric acid exposing said mass to the action of heat at substantially 120 C.
6. That step in the process of preparing a wetproof cellulose product which consists in mixing with raw cellulosean excess of a mixture of substantially one hundred parts of forty percent formaldehyde and two parts of concentrated nitric acid, expressing the excess formaldehyde and acid to partially dry the mass, and exposing the mass to heat at temperature of substantially 120 C.
'7. A process for the production of cellulose products having high wet strength comprising rendering raw cellulose capable of high wet strength by treating said raw cellulose with formaldehyde and acid in the'presence of heat and admixing therewith a cellulose material having substantially no wet strength.
8. A process for the production of cellulose products having high wet strength comprising rendering raw cellulose capable of high wet strength by treating said raw cellulose with formaldehyde and acid at a temperature of substantially 120 C. and admixing therewith a cellulose material having substantially no wet strength.
