Method of creping tissue webs containing a softener using a closed creping pocket
First Claim
1. A method of creping a dried tissue web comprising:
- (a) spraying a creping adhesive onto the surface of a rotating creping cylinder, said creping adhesive comprising a mixture of an aqueous polyamide resin and a quaternized polyamido amine;
(b) adhering the tissue web to the surface of the creping cylinder, said tissue web containing an imidazolinium quaternary compound having the following structural formula;
##STR3## wherein X=methyl sulfate or other compatible anion; and
R=aliphatic, normal, saturated or unsaturated, C8 -C22 ; and
(c) dislodging the tissue web from the creping cylinder by contact with a doctor blade positioned against the surface of the creping cylinder and presenting to the web a creping pocket angle of 78°
or less, said tissue web having a moisture content of about 2.5 weight percent or less prior to contacting the doctor blade.

Abstract
The invention consists of soft, bulky tissue products that result from the presence of a debonder/softening agent in the outer layers of the tissue and creping under "closed" pocket conditions. The debonder/softening agents belong to a group of organic chemicals that include several imidazolinium quaternary compounds. These chemicals do not adversely interfere with adhesion, unlike most debonders, to the drying surface of the tissue machine. They can, therefore, be placed in the outer layers of the tissue that contact the dryer surface and improve creping. The tissue can then be creped off of the drying surface using a closed pocket, that is a pocket angle of less than 80 degrees. The closed pocket creping normally produces a thicker, less dense tissue but with coarse crepe. Closed pocket creping and the presence of most debonders in the dryer side layers would be expected to also produce coarse crepe structures. However, the interaction of debonder adhesive properties and the closed pocket creping conditions produces a bulky tissue with sufficiently fine crepe structure that results in high overall softness.
