Advantages

Softness, both surface smoothness and flexibility is improved in high quality tissue papers. This lotion is especially effective on calendered tissue sheets that have already a high softness level.

  • The product has a low viscosity and can be sprayed when melted
  • The product will melt at body temperature to provide soothing and hydrating effect to the tissue paper user.
  • There is no water in the product, no drying is required and tensile degradation is minimized.

High quality lotionized tissue can be difficult to plybond with normally used plybonding wheels. For this kind of situation several solutions can be found: not applying lotion in the plybonding areas, using more aggressive plybonding wheels and higher pressures, plybonding before applying the lotion etc. Patch testing has been done with tissue treated with the CP Soft 60 lotion to verify if any allergic reaction will develop with tissue treated with the CP Soft 60. This gives the tissue producer the right to make a claim that the product has been dermatologically tested. The results of patch testing also depend on the tissue paper properties and other ingredients contents, as well as the lotion application system.
