Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fibrous structure comprising a cationic silicone polymer comprising one or more polysiloxane units and one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties, a process for making such a fibrous structure and a sanitary tissue product incorporating such a fibrous structure.
- a cationic silicone polymer comprising one or more polysiloxane units, one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties and one or more of the following: alkylene oxide units; ring-opened epoxide units and alternating units of a quaternary nitrogen- containing divalent organic moiety.
- the prior art fails to teach a fibrous structure wherein the fibrous structure comprises a fiber furnish layer and a cationic silicone polymer layer discrete from the fiber furnish layer, wherein the cationic silicone polymer comprises one or more polysiloxane units, one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties and one or more of the following: alkylene oxide units; ring-opened epoxide units and alternating units of a quaternary nitrogen- containing divalent organic moiety.
- the present invention overcomes the deficiencies associated with the prior art by providing a novel fibrous structure that incorporates a cationic silicone polymer.
- a fibrous structure comprising a fiber furnish layer and a cationic silicone layer discrete from the fiber furnish layer, wherein the cationic silicone polymer comprises one or more polysiloxane units and one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties, is provided.
- a fibrous structure comprising: a. a fiber furnish; and b. a cationic silicone polymer selected from the group consisting of: i. a cationic silicone polymer comprising one or more polysiloxane units, one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties and one or more alkylene oxide units; ii. a cationic silicone polymer comprising one or more polysiloxane units, one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties and one or more ring-opened epoxide units; iii.
- a cationic silicone polymer comprising alternating units of: a) a polysiloxane comprising one or more polysiloxane units and one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties; and b) a quaternary nitrogen-containing divalent organic moiety; and iv. mixtures thereof, is provided.
- a process for making a fibrous structure comprising the steps of: a. providing a fibrous furnish; b. depositing the fibrous furnish on a foraminous forming surface to form an embryonic fibrous web; c. drying the embryonic fibrous web such that the fibrous structure is formed; and d. applying a cationic silicone polymer comprising one or more polysiloxane units and one or more non-pendant quaternary nitrogen moieties to the embryonic fibrous web and/or the fibrous structure, is provided.
- a single- or multi-ply sanitary tissue product comprising a fibrous structure according to the present invention is provided.
- Fiber as used herein means an elongate particulate having an apparent length greatly exceeding its apparent width, i.e. a length to diameter ratio of at least about 10. More specifically, as used herein, "fiber” refers to papermaking fibers.

- Methods of applying the cationic silicone polymer to the embryonic fibrous web and/or dried fibrous structure and/or sanitary tissue product include spraying, slot extrusion and gravure printing. Other methods include deposition of the cationic silicone polymer onto a forming wire or fabric or belt which is then contacted by the embryonic fibrous web and/or dried fibrous structure and/or sanitary tissue product.
