Pulp containing hydrophilic debonder and process for its application

摘要

The invention provides a cellulosic pulp having reduced interfiber bonding and therefore reduced physical strength while maintaining excellent hydrophilic properties. The pulp is produced by treating the cellulosic fibers with a hydrophilic debonder having the general formula: <IMAGE> wherein: R1=methyl, ethyl, propyl, hydrogen or hydroxyethyl, R2=methyl, ethyl, propyl or [ethylene oxide]n where N=1 to 50, R3=aliphatic chain of at least 4 carbon atoms, R4=[ethylene oxide]n or [propylene oxide]n with N=1 to 50, X-Cl, I, Br, SO4-, PO4--, CH3CO2.
