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.
Claims28
A soft tissue product having one or more uncreped throughdried tissue plies, wherein one or both outer surfaces of the product have uniformly distributed solidified deposits having a composition comprising from about 30 to about 90 weight percent oil and from about 10 to about 40 weight percent wax, said composition having a melting point of from about 30.degree. C. to about 70.degree. C., said composition having been applied to the said one or more tissue plies when said one or more plies were in a throughdried state.
A soft tissue product having one or more uncreped throughdried tissue plies, wherein a liquid composition comprising an oil and a wax has been applied to one or both outer surfaces of the product while in a throughdried state without a substantial decrease in the Absorbent Capacity and the perceived thickness of the product.
