20 0 dry weightpercent ______________________________________ comparison of the data from tables i and ii shows different absolute values for adhesion but both methods yield consistent results in that in every instance the level of adhesion is higher for the combination of kymene and polyvinyl alcohol than would be predicted based on the values of 100 kymene and 100 polyvinyl alcohol and the percentages of each in the compositions assuming a linear relationship also both sets of data show a peak adhesion in the range of about 70 to about 95 percent polyvinyl alcohol in which range the adhesion is greater than either of the individual components although graphically not shown this synergistic effect can be more clearly illustrated by making a plot of adhesion versus composition in order to further illustrate the use of the creping adhesives of this invention facial tissue was prepared by wet laying a web of papermaking fibers having a dry basis weight of 7 5 lbs 2880 ft 2 the web was dewatered and pressed onto a yankee dryer with a pressure roll adhesive was sprayed onto the surface of the yankee at the 6 00 o 39 clock position at an add on rate of 5 lbs ton of dry fiber the composition of the creping adhesive was about 0 3 weight percent solids excluding a small amount about 0 03 of a release agent mineral oil the solids consisted essentially of about 80 weight percent polyvinyl alcohol and 20 weight percent kymene u00ae cationic polyamide resin the dried web was dislodged from the yankee creped with a doctor blade and wound onto a reel spool for converting the resulting web had a softness rating of 8 5 as determined by.
