Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods of reducing paper dusting in a papermaking process, and a low dusting tissue having increased strength are provided. Application of a polymer comprising at least one amine-containing vinylic or allylic monomer to at least one surface of a paper web during the papermaking process reduces the dusting tendency of the paper, and increases both the wet and dry strength of the paper product.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for reducing dust in a tissue making process comprising: applying a polymer comprising at least one amine-containing vinylic or allylic monomer to the surface of a tissue web, wherein the polymer does not comprise an aldehyde-functionalized polymer. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is applied by spraying onto a surface of the tissue web. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the polymer is applied by spraying onto the surface of the tissue web utilizing a spray boom. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is applied prior to drying the tissue web. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tissue web is at least partially dried after the polymer is applied to the tissue web. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the tissue web has a wet web consistency of from about 5% to about 40%. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is a diallylamine acrylamide copolymer. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is applied in combination with a diallylamine homopolymer. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer comprises about 0.1 mol % to about 20 mol % diallylamine monomer. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer has an average molecular weight of from about 200,000 Daltons to about 1,500,000 Daltons. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the polymer is applied to the surface of the tissue web as a solution having a concentration of from about 0.01% to about 10% by weight of the polymer based on the weight of the solution.
