Softening agent pre-treated fibers

A paper product includes fibers, such as cellulosic fibers, that are pre-treated with a softening agent. The softening agent is added to a fiber slurry and then is allowed to cure onto the fibers, typically by drying. The pre-treated fibers are then diluted, re-slurried, and incorporated into the fi...

More Information
Summary:A paper product includes fibers, such as cellulosic fibers, that are pre-treated with a softening agent. The softening agent is added to a fiber slurry and then is allowed to cure onto the fibers, typically by drying. The pre-treated fibers are then diluted, re-slurried, and incorporated into the fiber stream of a paper machine to form a fibrous web. The fibrous web can then be converted into a paper product, such as a personal care paper product, which exhibits improved softness with minimized slough.
