Patent ID: 7807023

Claim:
A process for producing a sheet product comprising: applying an additive composition to a moving creping surface, the additive composition comprising an aqueous dispersion containing an alpha olefin interpolymer of ethylene or propylene and at least one comonomer, each comonomer being limited solely to compounds represented by the formula H 2 C═CHR where R is a C 1 to C 20 linear or branched alkyl group, wherein said aqueous dispersion has an average particle size in the range from 0.05 μm to 5 μm; pressing a base sheet against the creping surface after the additive composition has been applied, the additive composition adhering the base sheet to the creping surface; and removing the base sheet from the creping surface, wherein the additive composition transfers to the base sheet such that the additive composition comprises at least about 1% of the basis weight of the sheet product, the sheet product containing cellulosic fibers in an amount of at least 50% by weight and having a bulk of at least 3 cc/g.
