Abstract
Abstract A method of reducing the number or amount of chemical additives normally incorporated into paper pulp furnish before transferring the latter to the continuous wire mesh of a papermaking machine in the manufacture of paper sheet involves the use of a hydrolyzed proteinaceous foam which does not appreciably affect the degree of sizing of the finished paper sheet. The use of such foam in paper manufacture can render unnecessary the chemical treatment of effluent from the papermaking machine which is normally required to avoid environmental pollution.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
95 words
A method for reducing the curl of a sized paper sheet having a coating on one side and without substantially lowering the degree of sizing thereof, which comprises applying to the other side of the paper web during the manufacture of the coated and sized paper sheet on a paper making machine, a proteinaceous foam forming composition containing a hydrolyzed protein foaming agent capable of reducing the surface tension of water from a normal value of 72 dynes per centimeter to a minimum value in the range of from 45 to 65 dynes per centimeter.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
95 words
A method for reducing the curl of a sized paper sheet having a coating on one side and without substantially lowering the degree of sizing thereof, which comprises applying to the other side of the paper web during the manufacture of the coated and sized paper sheet on a paper making machine, a proteinaceous foam forming composition containing a hydrolyzed protein foaming agent capable of reducing the surface tension of water from a normal value of 72 dynes per centimeter to a minimum value in the range of from 45 to 65 dynes per centimeter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1, wherein the foam also contains sizing agent for the paper sheet.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
117 words
An improved process for applying a product performance material selected from the group consisting of sizing agents, starches, polysaccharides, proteins, waxes, wet strength resins, dry strength resins, dyes and pigments to a sized paper sheet without substantially lowering the degree of sizing thereof, which comprises applying to the surface of the paper web during the manufacture of the sized paper sheet on a paper making machine, a foam containing the product performance material and a hydrolyzed protein foaming agent as a carrier for the material capable of reducing the surface tension of water from a normal value of 72 dynes per centimeter to a minimum value in the range of from 45 to 65 dynes per centimeter.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
An improved process for applying a product performance material selected from the group consisting of sizing agents, starches, polysaccharides, proteins, waxes, wet strength resins, dry strength resins, dyes and pigments to a sized paper sheet without substantially lowering the degree of sizing thereof, which comprises applying to the surface of the paper web during the manufacture of the sized paper sheet on a paper making machine, a foam containing the product performance material and a hydrolyzed protein foaming agent as a carrier for the material capable of reducing the surface tension of water from a normal value of 72 dynes per centimeter to a minimum value in the range of from 45 to 65 dynes per centimeter.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 3 wherein the product performance material is selected from the group consisting of polysaccharides, proteins, waxes and pigments.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 3, wherein the material is starch.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 3, wherein the foam also contains sizing agent for the paper sheet.
