Use Of Hydrophobically Modified Polyaminamides With Polyethylene Glycol Esters In Paper Products

View page
US Patent:
6673205, Jan 6, 2004
Filed:
May 10, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/852997
Inventors:
Bruce Jerome Kokko - Neenah WI
Assignee:
Fort James Corporation - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
D21H 1755
US Classification:
1621643, 1621646, 162158, 162166, 162179, 162173
Abstract:
The present invention uses hydrophobically modified polyaminamide with standard wet strength agent to produce a softer and more absorbent paper material. The hydrophobically modified polyaminamide is substantive to cellulosic fibers, thus is able to carry polyethylene glycol esters or ethers, a non-substantive material to cellulosic fiber as stable complexes, into the paper product.

Method Of Making Absorbent Sheet From Recycle Furnish

View page
US Patent:
6969443, Nov 29, 2005
Filed:
Dec 7, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/456270
Inventors:
Bruce J. Kokko - Neenah WI, US
Assignee:
Fort James Corporation - Deerfield IL
International Classification:
D21C005/02
D21H017/00
US Classification:
162 5, 162111, 162112, 162158, 162179
Abstract:
A process for making absorbent sheet material from recycle furnish includes treatment with a synergistic debonder composition. The debonder is capable of reducing tensile strength by 40 percent or more by way of a quaternary ammonium surfactant component and a nonionic surfactant component.

Space Saving Toilet Cleaning System

US Patent:
7638475, Dec 29, 2009
Filed:
Mar 21, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/689170
Inventors:
John H. Dwiggins - Neenah WI, US
Lynn M. Daul - Appleton WI, US
David W. White - Clintonville WI, US
Joseph R. Pounder - Greenville WI, US
Bruce J. Kokko - Neenah WI, US
Sanjay Wahal - Appleton WI, US
Phuong Van Luu - Appleton WI, US
Gerald J. Van Handel - Neenah WI, US
T. Philips Oriaran - Appleton WI, US
Assignee:
Georgia-Pacific Consumer Products LP - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
C11D 17/00
B32B 27/10
B32B 1/08
US Classification:
510439, 510441, 510438, 510191, 510193, 510108, 510109, 510297, 428 369, 428 365, 428 364, 428 357, 428 343, 428 347, 428 349, 428 342
Abstract:
A cleaning system having pulverulent foaming cleanser (e. g. , acid, alkali metal carbonate and surfactant) is sealed within a water soluble (e. g. , PVOH) deformable pouch frictionally retainable within the core of a roll of bath tissue. Upon placement of the pouch in the bowl, water in the bowl penetrates the water soluble wall of the pouch, generating foam which provides cleaning action by activating and carrying cleansing chemicals, not only below the water line of the bowl, but also considerably above it. When used routinely with each change of bath tissue roll, such a cleaning can extend the time between required manual cleanings considerably.

Absorbent Sheet Having Regenerated Cellulose Microfiber Network

View page
US Patent:
7718036, May 18, 2010
Filed:
Mar 19, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/725253
Inventors:
Daniel W. Sumnicht - Green Bay WI, US
Bruce J. Kokko - Neenah WI, US
Assignee:
Georgia Pacific Consumer Products LP - Atlanta GA
International Classification:
D21H 13/08
US Classification:
162146, 162109, 162141, 42831171
Abstract:
An absorbent paper sheet for tissue or towel includes from about 99 percent to about 70 percent by weight of cellulosic papermaking fiber and from about 1 percent to about 30 percent by weight fibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber which was regenerated form a cellulosic dope utilizing a tertiary amine N-oxide solvent or an ionic liquid. Fibrillation of the microfiber is controlled such that it has a reduced coarseness and a reduced freeness as compared with unfibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber from which it is made and provides at least one of the following attributes to the absorbent sheet: (a) the absorbent sheet exhibits an elevated SAT value and an elevated wet tensile value as compared with a like sheet prepared without fibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber; (b) the absorbent sheet exhibits an elevated wet/dry CD tensile ratio as compared with a like sheet prepared without fibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber; (c) the absorbent sheet exhibits a lower GM Break Modulus than a like sheet having like tensile values prepared without fibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber; or (d) the absorbent sheet exhibits an elevated bulk as compared with a like sheet having like tensile values prepared without fibrillated regenerated cellulose microfiber. In some embodiments, the pulp is pre-treated with debonder to enhance the wet/dry CD tensile ratio of the sheet.
