Abstract
Abstract An impregnated paper product having strength, toughness, tear resistance, softness, hand and breathability sufficient to permit such papers to be used as substitutes for woven or non-woven fabrics in making disposable fabric products. By applying conventionally known strength imparting resins, polymers, and copolymers to multi-ply, dry creped tissue papers of low basis weight, which multi-ply laminate has the crepe removed therefrom as a result of passing through an aqueous suspension or emulsion of such resins, polymers or co-polymers, the stiffness, noisiness and loss of breathability that result from such impregnation of single ply creped or uncreped papers does not occur.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
24 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said aqueous suspension or emulsion contains from about 5 percent to about 50 percent polymeric resin solids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
51 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein said superimposed plies are passed through said suspension or emulsion at a rate of speed sufficient to obtain a wet pick-up of the suspension or emulsion ranging from about 75 percent to about 250 percent based upon the combined weight of the superimposed plies.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
77 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein each of said superimposed plies of dry creped tissue has a basis weight ranging from about 5 pounds up to 30 pounds, a crepe-based stretch level in the machine direction ranging from about 5 percent to about 50 percent and an inter-fiber stretch level in the cross direction ranging from about 2.3 percent to about 6 percent prior to impregnation with said polymeric resin and removal of the crepe therefrom.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method according to claim 2 wherein said aqueous suspension or emulsion contains about 15 percent polymeric resin solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
The method according to claim 3 wherein said superimposed plies are passed through said suspension or emulsion at a rate of speed sufficient to obtain a wet pick-up of the suspension or emulsion of about 150 percent based upon the combined weight of the superimposed plies.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
62 words
The method according to claim 4 wherein each of said superimposed plies of dry creped tissue has a basis weight of about 10 pounds, a crepe-based stretch level in the machine direction of about 15 percent and an inter-fiber stretch level in the cross direction of about 4.5 percent prior to impregnation with said polymeric resin and removal of the crepe therefrom.
