Composition for treating an absorbent paper product

摘要

A composition for treating absorbent paper products is disclosed. The composition is a solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature with a creamy, high viscosity consistency. The composition comprises between about 30 and 90 weight percent of an oil, between about 1 and 40 weight percent of a wax, between about 1 and 30 weight percent of an emulsifying agent and between about 5 and 35 weight percent of water. The lotion composition is applied to the outer surfaces of a tissue paper web in melted form. The composition substantially improves both the smoothness of the treated product and the bulk softness, while leaving the surface of the product substantially non-greasy to the touch but with a perceivable lotion-like feel.
