Abstract
Softening compositions for tissues, particularly facial tissues, include a combination of polysiloxanes and one or both of a polyalkylene oxide and a fatty alkyl derivative. The softening compositions can contain from about 30 to about 75 weight percent polysiloxane, from about 0 to about 60 weight percent polyalkylene oxide and from about 0 to about 60 weight percent fatty alkyl derivative, wherein the combined amount of the polyalkylene oxide and the fatty alkyl derivative is about 25 weight percent or greater. The resulting tissues have good softness and wettability.
Claims18
A method of making a soft tissue comprising topically applying from about 0.5 to about 10 dry weight percent of a softening composition to one or both outer surfaces of a tissue sheet, wherein said softening composition comprises, on a solids basis, from about 30 to about 75 weight percent of one or more polysiloxanes, from about 1 to about 60 weight percent of one or more polyalkylene oxides and from about 1 to about 60 weight percent of one or more fatty alkyl derivatives, wherein the combined amount of the polyalkylene oxide(s) and the fatty alkyl derivative(s) is about 25 weight percent or greater.
