Abstract
Abstract A mixture comprising a cationic surfactant and a dimethylamide of a straight chain carbon carboxylic acid containing 12 to 18 carbon atoms is useful in the treatment of cellulose pulp to reduce inter-fiber bonding, thus obtaining a low mechanical strength pulp sheet and having little or no adverse effects upon the hydrophilic properties of said fibers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A process for treating cellulose pulp fiber to reduce inter-fiber bonding, thus imparting a low degree of mechanical strength to webs formed therefrom, while at the same time, preserving good hydrophilic properties of said fiber which comprises adding to the cellulose pulp fiber slurry prior to or during the formation of the slurry into a web, a mixture comprising 10 to 90 weight percent of a cationic surfactant and 90 to 10 weight percent of a dimethylamide of a straight chain carboxylic acid characterized in that said carboxylic acid contains from 12 to 18 carbon atoms in an amount varying from 0.1 to 2.0 parts per 100 parts of said cellulose pulp fiber based on the dry weight of said fiber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
