Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a water dispersible paper pulp comprising:forming a slurry in a vessel, said slurry comprising:A) a solid component, the solid component comprising about 25 wt. % to about 75 wt. % of a water soluble methylcellulose based upon the total weight of the solid component, and, about 75 wt. % to about 25 wt. % of paper pulp based upon the total weight of the solid component, wherein the solid component comprises 4.0 wt. % or less of the total weight of the slurry; and,B) the remainder of the slurry comprising a liquid component, the liquid component comprising about 25 wt. % to about 75 wt. % of an alkyl alcohol based upon the total weight of the liquid component and about 75 wt. % to about 25 wt. % of water based upon the total weight of the liquid component; and,mixing the ingredients in the vessel to produce an aqueous pulp slurry,wherein said water soluble methyl cellulose remains substantially in an undissolved state in the slurry.
