Creping methods using ph-modified creping adhesive compositions

摘要

Disclosed herein is a method for manufacturing a creped fiber web comprising providing a rotating cylindrical dryer surface, providing a creping adhesive composition or coating package having a pH boosted at least 0.5 pH units relative to its original base formulation pH in the range of from about 4.5 to about 9 by the addition of a pH modifier such as sodium hydroxide in order to chemically set a crosslinkable polymer component at least in part before applying the creping adhesive composition to the rotating cylindrical dryer surface to provide an adhesive dryer surface on which a fiber web can be transferred, dried, and creped.
