stages the compositions can also be added to the paper stock system either before the paper web is made or applied to the web just prior to it contacting the felt or equipment surface in this manner the eo ao surfactant compositions transfer to the felt or equipment surface with the sheet water in any of these methods the eo ao surfactants and or compositions of the invention can be applied neat undiluted or diluted in a solvent carrier system the preferred method of applying the compositions of the invention to the press section would be to use any of the various aqueous low and or high pressure cleaning or lubrication showers that are commonly used on the machine side and or sheet side of the felt the aqueous showers can be applied to the felt at a rate of about 0 01 to about 0 20 gallons per minute per inch width of felt preferably the concentration of the eo ao surfactants within the aqueous shower is from about 1 ppm to 10000 ppm more preferably the concentration of the eo ao surfactants within the aqueous shower is from about 10 ppm to 2000 ppm the composition of the invention can be used to treat other equipment surfaces in the papermaking or paper converting processes where deposition prevention is also important examples of such equipment surfaces include lump breaker rolls couch rolls calender rolls dryer cans doctor blades dryer fabrics fabric carrier rolls corrugating fluting rolls and printing presses the composition can be applied.
