Patent ID: 8444812

Claim:
A method of creping a paper web comprising the steps of: a) applying to a rotating creping cylinder an adhesive composition comprising one or more polyaminoamide epihalohydrin resins acidified with at least one multifunctional acid; b) pressing the paper web against the creping cylinder to effect adhesion of the paper web to the creping cylinder; and c) dislodging the paper web from the creping cylinder with a doctor blade wherein the polyaminoamide epihalohydrin resins are prepared by reacting the polyaminoamide with about 0.1 to about 0.3 molar equivalents of epichlorohydrin, based on secondary amino groups of the polyaminoamide; wherein the composition exhibits greater adhesion at film cure temperature from about 70° C. to about 100° C. than the same resin acidified with sulfuric acid.
