TISSUE PRODUCTS CONTAINING ANTIVIRAL AGENTS WHICH ARE MILD TO THE SKIN

Abstract: This application relates to antiviral tissue paper comprising pyrrolidone carboxylic acid as an antiviral agent. When added to tissue paper pyrrolidone carboxylic acid has the ability to kill certain strains of viruses which come into contact with the tissue. In addition to its antiviral efficacy, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid tends to be mild to the skin thus mitigating the potential for skin irritation. Furthermore, upon transfer to the skin, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid assists in retention of the natural moisture of the skin while continuing to kill deleterious viruses.

Description: TISSUE PRODUCTS CONTAINING ANTIVIRAL AGENTS WHICH ARE MILD TO THE SKIN TECHNICAL FIELD This application relates to antiviral tissue paper comprising pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. When added to tissue paper pyrrolidone carboxylic acid has the ability to kill certain strains of viruses which come into contact with the tissue. In addition to its antiviral efficacy, pyrrolidone carboxylic acid is mild to the skin thus mitigating the potential for skin irritation. This application further relates to antiviral lotions comprising pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. A process for making the antiviral tissue paper of this invention is also disclosed. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Whether it be a household, workplace, educational facility or any other location where people tend to gather, preventing the spread of germs is a difficult but yet desirable task. For instance, it is well documented that many hours of productive work are lost due to individuals becoming infected with the common cold or influenza virus. When one suffers from the common cold or influenza virus, one's mucus is the source of a very high concentration of viruses. After the mucus is aerosolized by a sneeze, cough, or other environmental surfaces, the virus within the mucus has the potential to infect other individuals coming into contact with it. Likewise, mucus deposited into a facial tissue also has the potential to infect others if they come in contact with the contaminated tissue. Transfer of this mucus on the tissue to another individual will likely be through accidental or unintentional contact. As an example of a possible transfer scenario, consider a cold sufferer who accidentally leaves a mucus infected facial tissue on a hard surface of some type. This hard surface might be a kitchen countertop, a bathroom vanity surface, an office desk or some other piece of furniture. Another family member or colleague may accidentally come into contact with the infected mucus after picking up the tissue to throw it away or by contacting the contaminated countertop area. After coming into such contact with the mucus on the tissue, it is very possible for that individual to become infected with the viral condition (i.e., common cold, influenza) especially if the infected mucus comes into contact with that individual's mucosal membranes. Another transmission scenario is through the disposal of the facial tissues contaminated with the virus containing mucus. After a household waste basket becomes filled with trash containing a high concentration of infected tissues, it obviously needs to be disposed of in some manner. During this transfer of the household trash into another larger disposal unit, the individual transferring the trash may come into contact with the contaminated tissue. Once again, this individual is at a higher risk for contracting the virus. Many other potential modes of virus transmission are possible after the facial tissue has become infected with the mucus. Furthermore, virus transmission is not the only concern when one has a cold. As is well known, cold and influenza sufferers typically have sore and irritated skin regions associated with the nose and lips. The irritation, inflammation and redness around the nose and lips can have several causes. A prime one is, of course, the sheer necessity of frequently blowing one's nose into he tissue, and wiping the resultant nasal discharge from the nose and surrounding area. The degree of irritation and inflammation caused by such blowing and wiping is directly proportional to: (1) the surface roughness of the tissue used; (2) the number of times the nose and its surrounding areas are in contact with the tissue; and (3) the irritation potential of any additives applied to the tissue paper. It is thus imperative to use antiviral compositions that are as mild as possible. U.S. 4,738,847 issued to Rothe et al. on April 19, 1988 purports to teach a three ply cellulosic tissue wherein a virucidal composition is substantially confined to the center ply. The virucidal composition is composed of citric acid and/or malic acid. A surfactant, sodium lauryl sulfate, may also be included. U.S. 4,828,912 issued to Hossain et al. on May 9, 1989 purports to teach a virucidal composition applied to a tissue. The virucidal composition may include citric, malic, succinic, and/or benzoic acid. A surfactant may also be included. Both of these suffer from the same drawback. The virucidal compositions are not mild to the skin. The antiviral agent(s) of the present invention is effective at killing certain strains of viruses such as influenza virus and rhinovirus. Furthermore, it is very mild to the skin. Additionally, it provides a unique residual effect where upon transfer from the tissue to the user, the antiviral agent can potentially protect those skin regions which come in contact with the viral infections. Furthermore, because the antiviral agent tends to be mild, the potential for skin irritation and stinging in these areas is greatly reduced. As the potential for skin irritation and stinging is reduced, the antiviral agent may be placed on the outer plies of the tissue product whereby it can easily be transferred directly to the skin. Yet further, this allows for more immediate contact of the antiviral agent with the mucosal discharge. Hence, the antiviral agent does not have to be confined to the inner plies ofthe tissue. Yet further, the antiviral agent of the present invention tends to promote retention of the skin's natural moisture. With regard to retention of the skin's natural moisture there is much described in cosmetics literature that directly correlates skin health with moisture content ofthe stratum corneum (I.H. Blank, J. Invest. Dermatol., 18, 433 (1952); L.F. Gaul et al., J. Invest. Dermatol., 19, 9 (1952); O.K. Jacobi, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 18, 149 (1967)). The factors controlling skin moisture content comprise water soluble materials called Natural Moisturizing Factors (hereinafter referred to as "NMF") (O.K. Jacobi, J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 18, 149 (1967)); H.W. Spier et al., Hautarzt, 7, 2 (1956)); and lipids ofthe skin surface. As the name denotes, NMF is found naturally in human skin primarily in the stratum corneum. The composition of NMF as documented by Spier et al. (Hautarzt, 7, 2, 1956), is a variety of free amino acids; lactates; urea; pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and the corresponding salts; and other organic derivatives and mineral salts. Effects of the NMF constituents have been studied extensively for skin moisturization transepidermal water loss; and skin elasticity (Reiger, M., J. Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 35, 253 (1974)). Although the mode of action has not been entirely elucidated, Laden et al. (J. Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 18, 351, (1967)) has determined that pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and its corresponding sodium salt are important components for skin moisturization and improving skin suppleness (Laden et al., J. Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 21, 417 (1970)). This has been further supported by Clar et al. (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 3, 101, (1981)) and Middleton et al. (J. Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 29, 201, (1978)) where creams and lotions containing pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and sodium pyrrolidone carboxylate are reported to improve skin hydration and reduce dry flaky skin. Other components in NMF such as lactate also improve water retention of the epidermis to a lesser extent than pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. Hence, the present invention provides a surprising combination of unique properties including immediate and residual antiviral efficacy, mildness, and the potential to assist with the retention ofthe skin's natural moisture. The benefits of utilizing the tissue product of the present invention include a tissue product that is effective at preventing the spread of certain cold and flu viruses while being comfortable to use and potentially providing additional skin benefits to the user. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to antiviral tissues that are mild to the skin. The antiviral tissue product comprises one or more fibrous ply(ies) and an antiviral composition. The antiviral composition comprises pyrrolidone carboxylic acid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As used herein, the term "comprising" means that the various components, ingredients, or steps, can be conjointly employed in practicing the present invention. Accordingly, the term "comprising" encompasses the more restrictive terms "consisting essentially of and "consisting of." As used herein, "pyrrolidone carboxylic acid" collectively refers to its stereoisomers and tautomers. As used herein, "moisture barrier" refers to a means for inhibiting the penetration of moisture through tissue. Suitable moisture barriers are disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 5,968,853 issued to Kelly et al. on October 19, 1999, U.S. Serial No. 09/120,828 filed July 22, 1998, and U.S. Serial No. 09/287,857 filed April 7, 1999, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. As used herein, "antiviral agent" refers to something capable of killing viruses such as rhinovirus and influenza. As used herein, "antiviral composition" refers to a composition which includes one or more antiviral agents. As used herein, the terms "tissue paper web", "paper web", "web", "paper sheet", "tissue product", and "paper product" all refer to sheets of paper made by a process comprising the steps of forming an aqueous papermaking furnish, depositing this furnish on a foraminous surface, such as a fourdrinier wire, and removing the water from the furnish as by gravity or vacuum-assisted drainage, with or without pressing, and by evaporation. As used herein the term "multi-ply tissue paper product" refers to a tissue paper comprised of at least two plies. Each individual ply in turn can be comprised of single- layered or multi-layered (stratified) tissue paper webs. The multi-ply structures are formed by bonding together two or more tissue webs such as by gluing or embossing. As used herein, "carrier" refers to a means for delivering the antiviral composition to the tissue. As used herein the terms "through air drying" and "blow through drying" refer to a technique of removing water from the web by drying the web with hot air. As used herein, the terms "mechanical dewatering", "conventional wet pressing", and "conventional felt pressing" all refer to a technique of removing water from the web by mechanically pressing the web with a dewatering felt. As used herein, the term "residual antiviral efficacy", refers to leaving a residue or imparting a condition on a keratinous tissue (e.g., skin) or other surfaces that remains effective and provides antiviral activity (against viruses such as rhinovirus) for some time after application. Though the principle use of this invention is in connection with facial tissues, it is also applicable to other disposable paper products including but not limited to: bath tissue, table napkins, toweling, wipes, and other disposable articles and garments. The tissue paper of this invention may be conventionally wet pressed, through air dried, high bulk pattern densified, or high bulk, uncompacted tissue paper. All percentages, ratios and proportions used herein are by weight unless otherwise specified. A. Tissue Paper The present invention is useful with tissue paper in general, including but not limited to conventionally felt-pressed tissue paper; high bulk pattern densified tissue paper; and high bulk, uncompacted tissue paper. It can be of a homogenous or multi- layered construction; and tissue paper products made therefrom can be of a single-ply or multi-ply construction. The tissue paper has a basis weight of between about 10 g/m 2 and 130 g/m 2 , preferably between about 20 g/m 2 and 80 g/m 2 , and most preferably between about 25 g/m and 60 g/m . Unless otherwise specified, all amounts and weights relative to the paper are on a dry basis. The tissue paper of the present invention comprises at least one fibrous ply and preferably two or more fibrous plies. The fibrous ply may be noncellulosic, preferably cellulosic, or a combination thereof. The fibrous ply may be layered. Each fibrous ply has two sides. Side one of the fibrous ply is oriented toward the user while side two of the fibrous ply is oriented away from the user. An antiviral composition made according to the present invention is applied to one or more of the fibrous plies. The antiviral composition may be applied to side one of the fibrous ply, side two of the fibrous ply, or both sides. The antiviral composition may be applied uniformly or nonuniformly to the fibrous ply. It may be applied in a continuous pattern or a discontinuous pattern. A lotion may be optionally applied to one or more ofthe fibrous plies. The lotion is preferably applied to side one of the fibrous ply. The lotion may optionally contain the antiviral composition of the present invention. A lotion may optionally be applied to one or more ofthe fibrous plies. Conventionally pressed tissue paper and methods for making such paper are well known in the art. Such paper is typically made by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous forming wire, often referred to in the art as a fourdrinier wire. Once the furnish is deposited on the forming wire, it is referred to as a web. The web is dewatered by pressing the web and drying at elevated temperature. The particular techniques and typical equipment for making webs according to the process just described are well known to those skilled in the art. In a typical process, a low consistency pulp furnish is provided from a pressurized headbox. The headbox has an opening for delivering a thin deposit of pulp furnish onto the fourdrinier wire to form a wet web. The web is then typically dewatered to a fiber consistency of between about 7% and about 25% (total web weight basis) by vacuum dewatering and further dried by pressing operations wherein the web is subjected to pressure developed by opposing mechanical members, for example, cylindrical rolls. The dewatered web is then further pressed and dried by a steam drum apparatus known in the art as a Yankee dryer. Pressure can be developed at the Yankee dryer by mechanical means such as an opposing cylindrical drum pressing against the web. Multiple Yankee dryer drums can be employed, whereby additional pressing is optionally incurred between the drums. The tissue paper structures that are formed are referred to hereafter as conventional wet pressed tissue paper structures. Such sheets are considered to be compacted since the entire web is subjected to substantial mechanical compressional forces while the fibers are moist and are then dried while in a compressed state. Pattern densified tissue paper is characterized by having a relatively high bulk field of relatively low fiber density and an array of densified zones of relatively high fiber density. The high bulk field is alternatively characterized as a field of pillow regions. The densified zones are alternatively referred to as knuckle regions. The densified zones can be discretely spaced within the high bulk field or can be interconnected, either fully or partially, within the high bulk field. The patterns can be formed in a non-ornamental configuration or can be formed so as to provide an ornamental design(s) in the tissue paper. Preferred processes for making pattern densified tissue webs are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,301,746, issued to Sanford et al. on January 31, 1967; U.S. Patent No. 3,974,025, issued to Ayers on August 10, 1976; U.S. Patent No. 4,191,609, issued to Trokhan on March 4, 1980; U.S. Patent 4,637,859, issued to Trokhan on January 20, 1987; U.S. Patent No. 5,364,504, issued to Smurkoski et al. on November 15, 1994; U.S. Patent No. 5,366,785, issued to Sawdai on November 22, 1994; U.S. Patent No. 5,529,664, issued to Trokhan et al., on June 25, 1996; U.S. Patent No. 5,679,222, issued to Rasch et al., on October 21, 1997; the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference. In general, pattern densified webs are preferably prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous forming wire such as a fourdrinier wire to form a wet web and then juxtaposing the web against an array of supports. The web is pressed against the array of supports, thereby resulting in densified zones in the web at the locations geographically corresponding to the points of contact between the array of supports and the wet web. The remainder of the web not compressed during this operation is referred to as the high bulk field. This high bulk field can be further dedensified by application of fluid pressure, such as with a vacuum type device or a blow-through dryer, or by mechanically pressing the web against the array of supports. The web is dewatered, and optionally predried, in such a manner so as to substantially avoid compression of the high bulk field. This is preferably accomplished by fluid pressure, such as with a vacuum type device or blow-through dryer, or alternately by mechanically pressing the web against an array of supports wherein the high bulk field is not compressed. The operations of dewatering, optional predrying and formation of the densified zones can be integrated or partially integrated to reduce the total number of processing steps performed. Subsequent to formation of the densified zones, dewatering, and optional predrying, the web is dried to completion, preferably still avoiding mechanical pressing. Preferably, from about 8% to about 55% of the tissue paper surface comprises densified knuckles having a relative density of at least 125% of the density ofthe high bulk field. The array of supports is preferably an imprinting carrier fabric having a patterned displacement of knuckles that operate as the array of supports that facilitate the formation of the densified zones upon application of pressure. The pattern of knuckles constitutes the array of supports previously referred to. Suitable imprinting carrier fabrics are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,301,746, issued to Sanford et al. on January 31, 1967; U.S. Patent No. 3,473,576, issued to Amneus on October 21, 1969; U.S. Patent No. 3,573,164, issued to Friedberg et al. on March 30, 1971; U.S. Patent No. 3,821,068, issued to Salvucci et al. on May 21, 1974; U.S. Patent No. 3,974,025, issued to Ayers on August 10, 1976; U.S. Patent No. 4,239,065, issued to Trokhan on December 16, 1980; U.S. Patent No. 4,528,239, issued to Trokhan on July 9, 1985; U.S. Patent No. 5,098,522, issued to Smurkoski on March 24, 1992; U.S. Patent No. 5,275,700, issued to Trokhan on January 4, 1994; U.S. Patent No. 5,328,565, issued to Rasch et al., on July 12, 1994; U.S. Patent No. 5,334,289, issued to Trokhan et al. on August 2, 1994; U.S. Patent No. 5,496,624, issued to Stelljes, Jr. et al., on March 5, 1996; U.S. Patent No. 5,500,277, issued to Trokhan et al., on March 19, 1996, U.S. Patent No. 5,628,876, issued to Ayers et al., on May 13, 1997; and U.S. Patent No. 5,679,222, issued to Rasch et al. on October 21, 1997, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference. Preferably, the furnish is first formed into a wet web on a foraminous forming carrier, such as a fourdrinier wire. The web is dewatered and transferred to an imprinting fabric. The furnish can alternately be initially deposited on a foraminous supporting carrier that also operates as an imprinting fabric. Once formed, the wet web is dewatered and, preferably, thermally predried to a selected fiber consistency from about 40% to about 80%. Dewatering is preferably performed with suction boxes or other vacuum devices or with blow-through dryers. The knuckle imprint ofthe imprinting fabric is impressed in the web as discussed above, prior to drying the web to completion. One method for accomplishing this is through application of mechanical pressure. This can be done, for example, by pressing a nip roll that supports the imprinting fabric against the face of a drying drum, such as a Yankee dryer, wherein the web is disposed between the nip roll and drying drum. Also, preferably, the web is molded against the imprinting fabric prior to completion of drying by application of fluid pressure with a vacuum device such as a suction box, or with a blow-through dryer. Fluid pressure can be applied to induce impression of densified zones during initial dewatering, in a separate, subsequent process stage, or a combination thereof. Uncompacted, nonpattern-densified tissue paper structures are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,812,000, issued to Salvucci et al. on May 21, 1974 and U.S. Patent No. 4,208,459, issued to Becker et al. on June 17, 1980, both of which are incorporated by reference. In general, uncompacted, nonpattern-densified tissue paper structures are prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous forming wire such as a fourdrinier wire to form a wet web, draining the web and removing additional water without mechanical compression until the web has a fiber consistency of at least about 80%, and creping the web. Water is removed from the web by vacuum dewatering and thermal drying. The resulting structure is a soft but weak, high bulk sheet of relatively uncompacted fibers. Bonding material is preferably applied to portions of the web prior to creping. Compacted non-pattern-densified tissue structures are commonly known in the art as conventional tissue structures. In general, compacted, non-pattern densified tissue paper structures are prepared by depositing a papermaking furnish on a foraminous wire such as a fourdrinier wire to form a wet web, draining the web and removing additional water with the aid of a uniform mechanical compaction (pressing) until the web has a consistency of about 25% - 50%, transferring the web to a thermal dryer such as a Yankee, and creping the web. Overall, water is removed from the web by vacuum, mechanical pressing and thermal means. The resulting structure is strong and generally of singular density, but very low in bulk, absorbency and softness. Other suitable tissue paper structures and methods of making tissue paper structures useful with the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 3,994,771, issued to Morgan, Jr. et al. on November 30, 1976; 4,225,382, issued to Kearney et al on September 30, 1980; 4,300,981, issued to Carstens et al. on November 17, 1981; 5,245,025, issued to Trokhan et al. on September 14, 1993; 5,277,761, issued to Phan et al. on January 11, 1994; 5,443,691, issued to Phan et al. on August 22, 1995; 5,503,715, issued to Trokhan et al. on April 2, 1996; 5,527,428, issued to Trokhan et al. on June 18, 1996; 5,534,326, issued to Trokhan et al. on July 9, 1996; 5,614,061, issued to Phan et al. on March 25, 1997; 5,654,076, issued to Trokhan et al. on August 5, 1997; 5,804,036, issued to Phan et al. on September 8, 1998; 5,804,281, issued to Phan et al. on September 8, 1998; 5,814,188 issued to Vinson et al. on September 29, 1998; and 5,820,730, issued to Phan et al. on October 13, 1998, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. The tissue may also be made according to U.S. Patent No. 5,411,636 issued to Hermans et al. on May 2, 1995 and EP 677612 published in the name of Wendt et al. on October 18, 1995. The tissue may be foreshortened, as is known in the art. Foreshortening can be accomplished by creping the paper from a rigid surface, and preferably from a cylinder. A Yankee drying drum is commonly used for this purpose. Creping is accomplished with a doctor blade as is well known in the art. Creping may be accomplished according to commonly assigned U.S. Patents: 6,048,938 issued to Neal et al. on April 11, 2000; 5,942,085 issued to Neal et al. on August 24, 1999; 5,865,950 issued to Vinson et al. on February 2, 1999; 4,191,756 issued to Sawdai on May 4, 1980; or U.S. Serial Number 09/042,936 filed March 17, 1998, the disclosures of which patents are incorporated herein by reference. Alternatively or additionally, foreshortening may be accomplished via wet microcontraction as taught in commonly assigned U.S. Patent 4,440,597, issued April 3, 1984 to Wells et al., the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The papermaking fibers utilized for the present invention will normally include fibers derived from wood pulp. Other cellulosic fibrous pulp fibers, such as cotton, bagasse, jute, etc., can be utilized and are intended to be within the scope of this invention. Synthetic fibers, such as rayon, nylon, polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene fibers, and MICROBAN®, a material manufactured by Microban Products Co. of Huntersville, North Carolina, can also be utilized in combination with natural cellulosic fibers. One exemplary polyethylene fiber that can be utilized is PULPEX®, available from Hercules, Inc. of Wilmington, Delaware. Applicable wood pulps include chemical pulps, such as kraft, sulfite, solvent, and soda pulps, as well as mechanical pulps including, for example, groundwood, thermomechanical pulp and chemically modified thermomechanical pulp. Chemical pulps, however, are preferred since they impart a superior tactile sense of softness to tissue sheets made therefrom. Pulps derived from both deciduous trees (hereafter, also referred to as "hardwood") and coniferous trees (hereafter, also referred to as "softwood") can be utilized. Also useful in the present invention are fibers derived from recycled paper, which can contain any or all of the above categories as well as other non- fibrous materials such as fillers and adhesives used to facilitate the original papermaking. In addition to papermaking fibers, the papermaking furnish used to make tissue paper structures can have other components or materials added thereto. The types of additives desirable will be dependent upon the particular end use of the tissue sheet contemplated. For example, in the tissue products of the present invention high wet strength is a desirable attribute. Thus, it is desirable to add to the papermaking furnish chemical substances known in the art as "wet strength" resins. Useful wet strength resins include those that are generally cationic in character. Examples of wet strength resins suitable for providing permanent wet strength generation, include cationic polyamide-epichlorohydrin resins such as those described in U.S. Patent No. 3,700,623, issued to Keim on October 24, 1972, and U.S. Patent No. 3,772,076, issued to Keim, on November 13, 1973, both of which are incorporated by reference. A useful cationic polyamide-epichlorohydrin wet strength resin suitable for use with the present invention is KYMENE® 557H, commercially available from Hercules, Inc. of Wilmington, Delaware. Other suitable wet strength resins include latex based wet strength agents and polyacrylamide resins such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,556,932, issued to Coscia et al. on January 19, 1971, and 3,556,933, issued to Williams et al. on January 19, 1971, both of which are incorporated herein by reference. One commercial source of polyacrylamide resin is American Cyanamid Co. of Stamford, Connecticut, which markets one such resin under the name of PAREZ® 631 NC. Other water-soluble cationic resins which may be used in this invention include urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde resins. The more common functional groups of these polyfunctional resins are nitrogen containing groups such as amino groups and methylol groups attached to nitrogen. Polyethylenimine type resins may also be used in the present invention. The permanent wet strength resin is applied in an amount of from about 0.05% to 10% by weight of the tissue paper, preferably from about 0.1% to 5% by weight of the tissue paper, more preferably from about 0.2% to 2%, and most preferably from about 0.3% to 1% by weight ofthe tissue paper. Japanese Industrial Standard JIS P4501 (1993), incorporated herein by reference, describes an "Easiness to Loosen in Water" test. This test is a measurement of the water disintegrability of the tissue sheet. It is desirable that the tissue products of the present invention have an "Easiness to Loosen in Water" test value of greater than about 100 seconds. The "Easiness to Loosen in Water" test procedure as disclosed in JIS P4501 is as follows: A beaker is filled with 300 ml of water (having a temperature of 20 ± 5 °C). The beaker is placed on a magnetic stirrer, the rotor of which is adjusted so as to have a rotation speed of 600 ± 10 rounds/minute. A disc like rotor 35 mm in diameter and 12 mm in thickness is used for this purpose. A square sample (i.e.; one side measuring 114 ± 2 mm) of a single ply of the tissue sheet to be tested is placed in the beaker. A timer is then started. The rotation speed ofthe rotor is reduced to approximately 500 rounds/minute and then goes back up according to the loosening of the tissue sample. When the rotor speed goes back up to 540 rounds/minute, the timer is stopped and the time measured to a unit of a second is recorded. Five samples of the the tissue sheet are tested and an average based on the five tests is determined. In order to meet the "Easiness to Loosen in Water" standard under JIS P4501 the tissue sheet must exhibit a time of 100 seconds or less. Other chemical additives which may optionally be added to the pulp furnish of the present invention include but are not limited to additives such as: temporary wet strength agents, dry strength agents, fillers, lint control agents, sizing agents and softening agents.

B. Antiviral Composition The antiviral composition of the present invention comprises one or more antiviral agents. 1. Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid The antiviral agent ofthe present invention most preferably comprises pyrrolidone carboxylic acid. While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the unique properties of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid in combination with the tissue web render the tissue product of the present invention highly efficacious against common influenza and cold viruses such as Rhinoviruses. Furthermore, transfer of the antiviral composition from the tissue to the skin can potentially protect those skin regions which come in contact with the virus. Yet further, because these antiviral compositions tend to be mild, the potential for skin irritation and stinging in these areas is greatly reduced. Even further, it is believed that the unique structure of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid in combination with the tissue web renders the tissue product highly efficacious against Rhinovirus (especially Rhinovirus- 14) over prolonged exposure periods. Thus, potential transfer of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid to the skin may result in viral kill in the tissue and on the skin surface for a prolonged exposure period. Hence, overall efficacy of the virucidal product is enhanced. Unlike other antiviral tissue products, it is also believed that the unique moisturization potential of the antiviral agent of the present invention may improve skin health and reduce the possibility of skin irritation versus other virucidal tissue products. Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid, which is also referred to as pyroglutamic acid has two stereoisomers (D and L). Both stereoisomers are suitable for use in the present invention.

Lotions suitable for this purpose are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 4,112,167 issued to Dake et al. on September 5, 1978; 4,481,243 issued to Allen on November 6, 1984; 4,513,051 issued to Lavash on April 23, 1985; 5,525,345 issued to Warner et al. on June 11, 1996; 5,716,692 issued to Warner et al. on February 10, 1998; 5,830,487 issued to Klofta et al. on November 3, 1998; and U.S. Serial No. 09/041,231 filed March 12, 1998, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Preferred lotions suitable for this purpose are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 5,059,282 issued to Ampulski et al. on October 22, 1991; 5,164,046 issued to Ampulski et al. on November 17, 1992; 5,385,643 issued to Ampulski on January 31, 1995; 5,389,204 issued to Ampulski on February 14, 1995; 5,814,188 issued to Vinson et al. on September 29, 1998; the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Lotions preferred for use with the present invention include polysiloxane based lotions. Types of polysiloxane materials which are suitable for use in the present invention include polymeric, oligomeric, copolymeric, and other multiple-monomeric siloxane materials. As used herein, the term polysiloxane and silicone are used interchangeably. They shall include all of such polymeric, oligomeric, copolymeric and other multiple- monomeric siloxane materials. Additionally, the polysiloxane can be either a straight chain, a branched chain or have a cyclic structure. Preferred polysiloxane materials include those having monomeric siloxane units of the following structure: Ri (1) Si - O R2 wherein, R\ and R2 for each siloxane monomeric unit can independently be any alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloalkyl, halogenated hydrocarbon, or other radical. Any of such radicals can be substituted or unsubstituted. R\ and R2 radicals of any particular monomeric unit may differ from the corresponding functionalities of the next adjoining monomeric unit. Additionally, the radicals can be either a straight chain, a branched chain, or have a cyclic structure. The radicals R\ and R2 can, additionally and independently, be other silicone functionalities such as, but not limited to siloxanes, polysiloxanes, and poly- silanes. The radicals R\ and R2 can also contain any of a variety of organic functionalities including, for example, alcohol, carboxylic acid, and amine functionalities. Preferred polysiloxanes include straight chain organopolysiloxane materials of the following general formula: Rl R7 R9 R4 I I I I (2) R 2 -Si-O—Si-O— -Si-O— -Si - R 5 I I I I R 3 R 8 a R 10 b R 6 wherein each R\ - Rg radical can independently be any C\ - C\Q unsubstituted alkyl or aryl radical, and R^Q is any substituted C\ - C \Q alkyl or aryl radical. Preferably each R\ - R9 radical is independently any Ci - C4 unsubstituted alkyl group. Those skilled in the art will recognize that technically there is no difference whether, for example, R9 or RJQ is the substituted radical. Preferably the mole ratio of b to (a + b) is between 0 and about 20%, more preferably between 0 and about 10%, and most preferably between about 1% and about 5%. In one particularly preferred embodiment, Rj - R9 are methyl groups and RJ O is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, or alkenyl group. Such material shall be generally described herein as polydimethylsiloxane which has a particular functionality as may be appropriate in that particular case. Exemplary polydimethylsiloxanes include, for example, polydimethylsiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane having an alkyl hydrocarbon RJQ radical and polydimethylsiloxane having one or more amino, carboxyl, hydroxyl, ether, polyether, aldehyde, ketone, amide, ester, thiol and/or other R\ Q functionalities including alkyl and alkenyl analogues of such functionalities. For example, an amino functional alkyl group as RJ Q could be an amino-functional or an aminoalkylfunctional polydimethylsiloxane. The exemplary listing of these functional- polydimethylsiloxanes is not meant to thereby exclude others not specifically listed. A preferred polydimethylsiloxane is CM 849 available from General Electric of Fairfield, Connecticut. Viscosity of polysiloxanes useful for this invention may vary as widely as the viscosity of polysiloxanes in general vary, so long as the polysiloxane is flowable or can be made to be flowable for application to the tissue paper. This includes, but is not limited to, viscosity as low as about 25 centistokes to about 20,000,000 centistokes or even higher. High viscosity polysiloxanes which themselves are resistant to flowing can be effectively deposited upon the tissue paper webs by such methods as, for example, emulsifying the polysiloxane in surfactant or providing the polysiloxane in solution with the aid of a solvent, such as hexane, listed for exemplary purposes only. Particular methods for applying polysiloxanes to tissue paper webs are discussed in more detail below. The optional lotion can be applied to the tissue paper web after the web has been dried, i.e. a "dry web" addition method. The lotion is applied in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 40% by weight of the tissue paper web. Preferably, the lotion is applied in an amount of from about 0.1% to about 25% by weight of the tissue paper web, most preferably from about 0.5% to about 18% by weight ofthe web. The lotion can also be applied non-uniformly to the surface(s) of the tissue paper web. By "non-uniform" is meant that the amount, pattern of distribution, etc. of the lotion can vary over the surface of the paper. For example, some portions of the surface of the tissue paper web can have greater or lesser amounts of lotion, including portions of the surface that do not have any lotion on it. An example of non-uniform application is where the tissue structure contains differing amounts and differing compositions of various formulations throughout its structure or alternatively where some zones may contain no lotion at all as taught by commonly assigned U.S. Patent Nos. 4,481,423 issued to Allen on November 6, 1984 and 5,814,188 issued to Vinson et al. on September 29, 1998 the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. For instance in a two ply tissue structure, a lotion containing an antiviral composition might be applied to the two outer surfaces of the paper structure while an antiviral composition is applied to the two inner surfaces of the paper structure. Or in a three ply paper structure, the inside ply might contain the lotion while the user side of the two outside plies contains a skin lotion having an antiviral composition. Additional examples include adding a lotion not containing any antiviral composition to the outside plies. The lotion might be an ingredient such as dimethicone which would transfer to the skin upon wiping to form a protective layer on the skin. Or, this lotion might transfer another active to the skin such as a sunblock, or skin healing additive. While this lotion would be applied to the outside plies, the antiviral composition could be applied on the inside of one or both outside plies to produce the antiviral killing activity within the tissue. With the antiviral composition on the inside of the tissue, and the lotion applied to the outside, the antiviral killing activity would most probably be confined to the inside ofthe tissue rather than the user's skin surface. There are numerous permutations of these approaches. The lotion can be applied to the tissue paper web at any point after it has been formed. Preferably the lotion is applied after the tissue web has been dried. For example, the lotion can be applied to the tissue paper web after it has been creped from a Yankee dryer, but prior to calendering, i.e., before being passed through calendar rolls. The lotion can also be applied to the paper web after it has passed through such calendar rolls and prior to being wound up on a parent roll. Usually, it is preferred to apply the lotion to the tissue paper as it is being unwound from a parent roll and prior to being wound up on smaller, finished paper product rolls. The lotions of the present invention may be applied to the tissue paper by spraying the composition onto the tissue paper web or by gravure coating and extrusion coating methods. Gravure coating and extrusion coating methods are preferred such as those taught by U.S. Patent No. 5,246,546, issued to Ampulski on September 21, 1996 and incorporated herein by reference. Treating Tissue Paper With Compositions of the Present Invention In preparing virucidal tissue products according to the present invention, the antiviral composition and the optional lotion (whether the optional lotion includes or does not include an antiviral composition) may be applied to at least one surface of a tissue paper web. They may be applied uniformly or discretely to the tissue paper web. A non-limiting example of discrete addition to the tissue paper web is disclosed in U.S. 5,814,188 issued to Vinson et al. on September 29, 1998, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. The antiviral composition and the optional lotion may be applied in a continuous pattern or discontinuous pattern. Suitable application methods include those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 4,481,243 issued to Allen on November 6, 1984; 5,720,966 issued to Ostendorf on February 24, 1998; and 5,814,188 issued to Vinson et al. on September 29, 1998, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. Suitable methods include spraying, dipping, soaking, printing (e.g., flexographic printing), coating (e.g., gravure coating), extrusion, or combinations of these application techniques, e.g. spraying the composition on a rotating surface, such as a calendar roll, that then transfers the composition to the surface of the paper web. The composition can be applied either to one surface ofthe tissue paper web, or both surfaces. The compositions of this invention can also be applied non-uniformly to the surface(s) of the tissue paper web. By "non-uniform" is meant that the amount, pattern of distribution, etc. of the antiviral agent can vary over the surface of the paper. For example, some portions of the surface of the tissue paper web can have greater or lesser amounts of the composition, including portions of the surface that do not have any composition on it. An example of non-uniform application is where the tissue structure contains differing amounts and differing compositions of various formulations throughout its structure or alternatively where some zones may contain no lotion at all as taught by U.S. Patent No. 4,481,243 issued to Allen on November 6, 1984 and incorporated herein by reference. The amount of antiviral composition or lotion containing an antiviral composition that is applied to the tissue is based upon the amount of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid which is added to the tissue on a dry weight basis. The amount of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid applied to the tissue is from about 0.05% to 50% by weight, preferably about 0.1% to 25% by weight, and more preferably from about 0.2% to 15% by weight. The amount of antiviral composition on the paper must be optimized in order to achieve effective inactivation of the virus. The pH ofthe antiviral tissue paper is about 6 or less, preferably less than about 4.5, and most preferably less than about 3. Virucidal Assay Procedure PROTOCOL SUMMARY A suspension of high titre Rhinovirus type 14 (hereinafter referred to as "RV-14") is inoculated on a disc of tissue paper which has been previously placed in a Buchner funnel filtration device. The tissue is exposed to the virus for one minute. Immediately following the 1 minute exposure period, the virus aliquot is collected from the tissue by dispensing elution media onto the surface ofthe tissue and immediately applying vacuum suction. The virus aliquot is collected in a sterilized test tube, titered by 10-fold serial dilution, and assayed for the presence of virus. The appropriate virus controls, cytotoxicity controls, and neutralization controls are assayed in parallel. Antiviral properties ofthe tissue product are evaluated and compared to untreated tissues and a reduction in virus titer determined. CULTURE MATERIALS Stock Virus Rhinovirus type 14 strain 1059 is obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), Rockville, MD (catalogue No. VR-284). The stock virus is prepared by collecting the supernatant culture fluid from 75% - 100% infected culture cells. The cells are disrupted and cell debris removed by centriftigation. The supernatant is removed and may be stored at < -70 degrees centigrade until use. The supernatant is thawed (if frozen) and centrifuged at 100,000 RPM for 30 - 60 minutes at approximately 4 degrees centigrade. The media is removed and the virus is re-suspended in E-MEM test medium outlined below. The virus aliquot may be stored in liquid nitrogen until use or if processed on the day of testing, refrigerated until use in the assay. Immediately prior to testing, the stock virus is titered by 10-fold serial dilution and inoculated in quadruplicate into Hl-HeLa cells (also from ATCC catalogue No. CRL-1958) to determine the input virus titer used in the tests. Cell Cultures The cells used to determine virucidal activity in this procedure are Hl-HeLa cells (also from ATCC Catalogue No. CRL-1958). The medium used to grow the Hl-HeLa cells is E-MEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PSG. E-MEM is Minimum Essential Medium (with Earle's salts, non-essential amino acids and without L-glutamine) obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10370- 021); FBS is Fetal Bovine Serum obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 16140-071); and PSG is penicillin-streptamine-glutamine obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10378- 016). Cultures are maintained and used as monolayers in growth flasks at 36 - 38 degrees centigrade in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % - 7% CO 2 . Test Medium The test medium is E-MEM supplemented with 10% Bovine Mucin (Sigma Aldrich Cat. No. M-4503) and 1% PSG. E-MEM is Minimum Essential Medium (with Earle's salts, non-essential amino acids and without L-glutamine) obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10370-021); and PSG is penicillin-streptamine-glutamine obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10378-016). Elution Media The elution media is E-MEM with 1% PSG. E-MEM is Minimum Essential Medium (with Earle's salts, non-essential amino acids and without L-glutamine) obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10370-021); and PSG is penicillin-streptamine-glutamine obtained from Life Technology, Inc. Rockville, MD (Gibco BRL catalogue No. 10378-016). METHOD Preparation of Tissue Product Samples of the tissue product to be tested are cut into 56 + 0.5 mm circular discs. The treated tissue discs containing antiviral compositions are utilized in the test and cytotoxicity control parameters. Control tissue discs which do not contain antiviral compositions are included for the positive virus control. The control disc is from the same lot of paper used to prepare the antiviral tissue paper. Preparation ofthe Buchner Funnel Filtration Device Using sterile technique, a pre-weighed disc of tissue paper of varying plies (depending on the tissue product tested) treated with virucide is placed in the bottom portion of each of two Buchner funnels. These will be used for one test replicate and one cytotoxicity control replicate. A disc of pre-weighed untreated tissue will be placed in one 56 millimeter Buchner funnel (Model No. 60240, available from Coors of Golden, Colorado) for use as the positive control. Using sterile technique, a sterile test tube is inserted into a 250 milliliter filter flask so that the top of the tube rests against the neck of the flask. A rubber stopper is secured onto the outlet stem of the Buchner funnel. The funnel device is placed tightly into the opening of the filtration flask. The outlet stem of the Buchner funnel device is placed tightly into the opening of the filtration flask. The outlet stem of the Buchner funnel is lined up with the opening of the test tube to ensure that anything eluted from the Buchner funnel will be collected in the test tube. One end of a vacuum pump hose is connected to the side arm ofthe flask. Treatment With Virus Suspension An aliquot (500 microliters) of stock virus suspended in E-MEM supplemented with 10% Bovine Mucin (Sigma Aldrich Cat. No. M-4503) and 1% PSG is dispensed directly onto the center of the treated tissue discs using a calibrated pipetter. The virus aliquot is allowed to contact the tissue for exactly one (1) minute at room temperature and then immediately collected from the tissue by dispensing 3 milliliters of elution media onto the center region of the disc using a calibrated pipette and immediately applying vacuum suction. The vacuum suction is applied for 15 seconds while lightly rocking the flask to release any volume caught in the capillaries of the Buchner funnel. The collected virus aliquot in the test tube (10 "1 dilution) is thoroughly mixed using a vortex mixer, titered by 10-fold serial dilutions (0.3 ml + 2.7 ml Elution media) and assayed for the presence of virus. The tissue is removed from the Buchner funnel and a final weight is recorded. Treatment of Virus Control (Positive Control ' ) An aliquot (500 microliters) of stock virus suspended in E-MEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PSG is dispensed directly onto the center of the un-treated (control) tissue disc using a calibrated pipettor. The virus aliquot is allowed to contact the tissue for exactly one (1) minute at room temperature and then immediately collected from the tissue by dispensing 3 milliliters of E-MEM onto the center region of the disc using a calibrated pipette and immediately applying vacuum suction. The vacuum suction is applied for 15 seconds while lightly rocking the flask to release any volume caught in the capillaries of the Buchner funnel. The collected virus aliquot is titered as described above. The average virus control titer will be used as a baseline to compare the log reduction of each test parameter following exposure to the products. The tissue is removed from the Buchner funnel and a final weight is recorded. Infectivitv Results Quantitation of the viral activity of the various filtrates and stock virus is performed by inoculation of each dilution into the appropriate cell cultures in quadruplicate. The end point of a virucidal test for a given tissue is that dilution of virus which infects or is calculated to infect only one of two inoculation wells. This number is defined as the tissue culture infectivity dose or TCID 50 . The results of the virucidal efficacy of a given tissue are given as the "log difference" or percent reduction between the common log of the TCID 50 result of the treated sample and the TCID 50 of the untreated sample. The virucidal efficacy of a sample may be derived from the "log difference" in the following manner: Virucidal Efficacy (in percent)= (A - B)/A* 100 Where: A = TCID 50 (units/ml) from the untreated tissue sample B = TCID 50 (units/ml) from the treated tissue sample Example Calculation: A = 10 6 units/ml B = 10 2 units/ml Viral efficacy = (10 6 - 10 2 )/10 6 * 100 = 99.99% The procedure outlined above conforms to standard microbiological assay techniques and yields reliable and reproducible results within the limits of variability associated with such biological experiments. EXAMPLES Table 1 below indicates the virucidal efficacy of virucidal tissue made according to the present invention. Each of these samples was produced via slot extrusion of the virucidal composition onto the fabric side of a single ply of Puffs ® Advanced Extra Strength tissue substrate. Each treated substrate was then combined into a 2-ply product wherein the fabric side of each treated ply was placed in a face-to-face relationship with one another such that the untreated side of each ply was facing outwardly (i.e.; wire side out). The virucidal efficacy of each tissue sample was then tested according to the Virucidal Assay Procedure described above. As used herein "fabric side" refers to that side of the tissue sheet which was not in contact with the foraminous surface of the paper machine.
