- an aqueous papermaking furnish is an aqueous slurry of papermaking fibers and the chemicals described hereinafter.
- the first step in a particularly preferred process for making the treated tissue paper of this invention is the forming of an aqueous papermaking furnish.
- the furnish comprises papermaking fibers (hereinafter sometimes referred to as wood pulp) and an antimigration material.
- a key element of any process for making the treated tissue paper of the present invention is to provide the antimigration material prior to providing the emollient lotion.

Numerous examples are shown in the aforementioned paper by Westfelt, incorporated herein by reference.
- the wet strength resins are water-soluble, cationic materials.
- the resins are water-soluble at the time they are added to the papermaking furnish. It is quite possible, and even to be expected, that subsequent events such as cross-linking will render the resins insoluble in water. Further, some resins are soluble only under specific conditions, such as over a limited pH range.
- Wet strength resins are generally believed to undergo a cross-linking or other curing reactions after they have been deposited on, within, or among the papermaking fibers. Cross-linking or curing does not normally occur so long as substantial amounts of water are present.
- Base-activated polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins useful in the present invention are sold under the Santo Res trademark, such as Santo Res 31, by Monsanto Company of St. Louis, MO These types of materials are generally described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,855,158 issued to Petrovich on December 17, 1974; 3,899,388 issued to Petrovich on August 12, 1975; 4,129,528 issued to Petrovich on December 12, 1978; 4,147,586 issued to Petrovich on April 3, 1979; and 4,222,921 issued to Van Eenam on September 16, 1980, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- water-soluble cationic resins useful herein are the polyacrylamide resins such as those sold under the Parez trademark, such as Parez 63 INC, by Cytec of Stanford, CN.

- water-soluble resins useful in the present invention include acrylic emulsions and anionic styrene-butadiene latexes. Numerous examples of these types of resins are provided in U.S. Patent No. 3,844,880, Meisel, Jr. et al., issued Oct. 29, 1974, incorporated herein by reference. Still other water-soluble cationic resins finding utility in this invention are the urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde resins. These polyfunctional, reactive polymers have molecular weights on the order of a few thousand. The more common functional groups include nitrogen containing groups such as amino groups and methylol groups attached to nitrogen.
- polyethylenimine type resins find utility in the present invention.
- water-soluble resins include their manufacture, and their manufacture.
- permanent wet strength resin refers to a resin which allows the paper sheet, when placed in an aqueous medium, to keep a majority of its initial wet strength for a period of time greater than at least two minutes.
- wet strength additives typically result in paper products with permanent wet strength, i.e., paper which when placed in an aqueous medium retains a substantial portion of its initial wet strength over time.
- permanent wet strength in some types of paper products can be an unnecessary and undesirable property.
- Paper products such as toilet tissues, etc., are generally disposed of after brief periods of use into septic systems and the like. Clogging of these systems can result if the paper product permanently retains its hydrolysis-resistant strength properties.
- wet strength additives to paper products for situations where wet strength is sufficient for the intended use, but where wet strength decay upon soaking in water is desirable. For example, decay of the wet strength facilitates flow of the paper product through septic systems. If wet strength is imparted to these products, it is preferred to be fugitive wet strength, characterized by a decay of part or all of its potency upon standing in presence of water.
- the binder materials can be chosen from the group consisting of dialdehyde starch or other resins with aldehyde functionality such as Co-Bond 1000® offered by National Starch and Chemical Company, Parez 750® offered by Cytec of Stamford, CT and the resin described in U.S. Patent No. 4,981,557 issued on January 1, 1991, to Bjorkquist and incorporated herein by reference.
- the antimigration material serves to minimize migration of the emollient lotion (discussed below) away from the surface of the tissue web on which it has been disposed.
- the Applicants have found that, by providing the tissue web with a suitable antimigration material prior to deposition of the emollient lotion, migration of the emollient lotion into the tissue web is substantially reduced.
- treatment of the tissue web with a suitable antimigration material alters the wettability tension of the surface of the papermaking fibers thereof so as to minimize or even eliminate wetting thereof by the emollient lotion.
- a surface having a suitable "wettability tension” will cause a liquid deposited thereon to have a contact angle greater than about 75°.
- the contact angle is greater than about 80°, more preferably greater than about 85°.
- high contact angles imply low wettability.
- the low wettability of the treated surface impedes migration of the melted lotion into the treated web so as to allow the molten emollient lotion to "set up" which further impedes migration.
- this reduced migration provides enhanced transfer of the lotion away from the surface of the treated tissue web to a user's skin.
- Suitable antimigration materials include those materials known to provide a low critical surface tension to surfaces when they are applied to a surface.
- Exemplary materials include, but are not limited to: fluorocarbon materials; silicone materials; reactive paper sizing materials, such as alkylketene dimers, substituted cyclic acid anhydrides, organically modified ceramic materials (ormocers), substituted long chain alkanes and alkenes, and chemical derivatives thereof wherein such derivatives enhance the substantively of such materials to papermaking fibers.

- the permanent wet strength resins are also diluted to the appropriate concentration and added to the papermaking furnish.
- the second step in the process of this invention is the depositing of the papermaking furnish on a foraminous surface and the third is the removing of the water from the furnish so deposited.
- Techniques and equipment which can be used to accomplish these two processing steps will be readily apparent to those skilled in the papermaking art.
- the present invention is applicable to tissue paper in general, including but not limited to conventionally felt-pressed tissue paper; pattern densified tissue paper such as exemplified in the aforementioned U.S. Patent by Sanford-Sisson and its progeny; and high bulk, uncompacted tissue paper such as exemplified by U.S. Patent No. 3,812,000, Salvucci, Jr., issued May 21, 1974.
- the tissue paper may be of a homogenous or multilayered construction; and tissue paper products made therefrom may be of a single-ply or multi-ply construction.

- the web is then typically dewatered to a fiber consistency of between about 7% and about 25% (total web weight basis) by vacuum dewatering and further dried by pressing operations wherein the web is subjected to pressure developed by opposing mechanical members, for example, cylindrical rolls.
- the dewatered web is then further pressed and dried by a stream drum apparatus known in the art as a Yankee dryer. Pressure can be developed at the Yankee dryer by mechanical means such as an opposing cylindrical drum pressing against the web. Multiple Yankee dryer drums may be employed, whereby additional pressing is optionally incurred between the drums.
- the tissue paper structures which are formed are referred to hereinafter as conventional, pressed, tissue paper structures. Such sheets are considered to be compacted since the web is subjected to substantial mechanical compressional forces while the fibers are moist and are then dried (and optionally creped) while in a compressed state.

- pattern densified webs are preferably prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous forming wire such as a Fourdrinier wire to form a wet web and then juxtaposing the web against an anay of supports. The web is pressed against the array of supports, thereby resulting in densified zones in the web at the locations geographically corresponding to the points of contact between the array of supports and the wet web. The remainder of the web not compressed during this operation is referred to as the high bulk field.
- This high bulk field can be further dedensified by application of fluid pressure, such as with a vacuum type device or a blow-through dryer, or by mechanically pressing against the array of supports.
- the web is dewatered, and optionally predried, in such a manner so as to substantially avoid compression of the high bulk field. This is preferably accomplished by fluid pressure, such as with a vacuum type device or blow-through dryer, or alternately by mechanically pressing the web against an anay of supports wherein the high bulk field is not compressed.
- the operations of dewatering, optional predrying and formation of the densified zones may be integrated or partially integrated to reduce the total number of processing steps performed.
- the web is dried to completion, preferably still avoiding mechanical pressing.
- from about 8% to about 55% of the tissue paper surface comprises densified knuckles having a relative density of at least 125% of the density of the high bulk field.
- the array of supports is preferably an imprinting carrier fabric having a patterned displacement of knuckles which operate as the array of supports which facilitate the formation of the densified zones upon application of pressure.
- the pattern of knuckles constitutes the array of supports previously referred to.
- Imprinting carrier fabrics are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,301,746, Sanford and Sisson, issued January 31, 1967, U.S. Patent No. 3,821,068, Salvucci, Jr. et al, issued May 21, 1974, U.S. Patent No. 3,974,025, Ayers, issued August 10, 1976, U.S. Patent No. 3,573,164, Friedberg et al, issued March 30, 1971, U.S. Patent No.
- the furnish is first formed into a wet web on a foraminous forming carrier, such as a Fourdrinier wire.
- the web is dewatered and transferred to an imprinting fabric.
- the furnish may alternately be initially deposited on a foraminous supporting carrier which also operates as an imprinting fabric.
- the wet web is dewatered and, preferably, thermally predried to a selected fiber consistency of between about 40% and about 80%.
- Dewatering can be performed with suction boxes or other vacuum devices or with blow-through dryers.
- the knuckle imprint of the imprinting fabric is impressed in the web as discussed above, prior to drying the web to completion.
- One method for accomplishing this is through application of mechanical pressure.
- nip roll which supports the imprinting fabric against the face of a drying drum, such as a Yankee dryer, wherein the web is disposed between the nip roll and drying drum.
- the web is molded against the imprinting fabric prior to completion of drying by application of fluid pressure with a vacuum device such as a suction box, or with a blow-through dryer. Fluid pressure may be applied to induce impression of densified zones during initial dewatering, in a separate, subsequent process stage, or a combination thereof.
- uncompacted, nonpattern-densified tissue paper structures are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,812,000 issued to Joseph L. Salvucci, Jr. and Peter N. Yiannos on May 21, 1974 and U.S. Patent No. 4,208,459, issued to Henry E. Becker, Albert L. McConnell, and Richard Schutte on June 17, 1980, both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- uncompacted, nonpattern-densified tissue paper structures are prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous forming wire such as a Fourdrinier wire to form a wet web, draining the web and removing additional water without mechanical compression until the web has a fiber consistency of at least 80%, and creping the web.
- ⁇ Water is removed from the web by vacuum dewatering and thermal drying.
- the resulting structure is a soft but weak high bulk sheet of relatively uncompacted fibers. Bonding material is preferably applied to portions of the web prior to creping.
- Compacted non-pattern-densified tissue structures are commonly known in the art as conventional tissue structures.
- compacted, non-pattern-densified tissue paper structures are prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous wire such as a Fourdrinier wire to form a wet web, draining the web and removing additional water with the aid of a uniform mechanical compaction (pressing) until the web has a consistency of 25-50%), transferring the web to a thermal dryer such as a Yankee and creping the web. Overall, water is removed from the web by vacuum, mechanical pressing and thermal means.
- the resulting structure is strong and generally of singular density, but very low in bulk, absorbency and in softness.
- uncreped tissue paper is also a satisfactory substitute and the practice of the present invention using uncreped tissue paper is specifically incorporated within the scope of the present invention.
- Uncreped tissue paper a term as used herein, refers to tissue paper which is non-compressively dried, most preferably by throughdrying. The techniques to produce such uncreped tissue are taught in the prior art. For example, Wendt, et. al. in European Patent Application 0 677 612A2, published October 18, 1995 and Farrington, Jr., et al. in U.S.
- the second necessary element of the present invention is an emollient lotion.
- an emollient lotion is a material which softens, soothes, supples, coats, lubricates, moisturizes, or cleanses the skin.
- the emollient lotion accomplishes several of these objectives such as soothing, moisturizing, and lubricating the skin.
- Dake, et al, Buchalter, and Weiss, et al in the aforementioned U.S. patents, all three of which are incorporated herein by reference, describe emollients which can be used in the practice of the present invention as long as a suitable antimigration material is also provided.
- the emollient lotion of the present invention can comprise: 1) from about 51%> to about 81%) by weight of a hydrocarbon emollient, such as mineral oil, petrolatum or a hydrocarbon wax; 2) from about 14% to about 34%> of an immobilizing agent which helps to minimize the tendency of the emollient to migrate, such as fatty alcohols, fatty amides, and mixtures thereof; and 3) from about 5%> to about 15%> of a low HLB (less than about 6) emulsifier to help compatibilize the hydrocarbon emollient and the immobilizing agent.
- a hydrocarbon emollient such as mineral oil, petrolatum or a hydrocarbon wax
- an immobilizing agent which helps to minimize the tendency of the emollient to migrate
- a low HLB less than about 6
