Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A method for producing paper products, said method comprising the steps of:

a) providing a fibrous structure;
b) providing a drying surface;
c) applying a creping aid whereby said creping aid contacts one of said drying surface and one of said fibrous structure, said creping aid comprising from about 30% to 90% of a polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of hydrolysis of about 86% or greater and from about 10% to 70% of a non-thermosetting cationic resin containing no secondary amines, said non-thermosetting cationic resin derived from reacting the polyamides of a dicarboxylic acid and methyl bis(3-aminopropylamine) in aqueous solution with epichlorohydrin in a mole ratio of between about 1:0.1 and about 1:0.33;
d) applying a fibrous structure to said drying surface whereby said fibrous structure contacts said creping aid;
e) removing said fibrous structure from said drying surface.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of applying said creping aid comprises applying said creping aid directly to said drying surface.

3. Thc method of claim 1 wherein said fibrous structure has a first surface and a second surface wherein said second surface contacts said drying surface, and wherein said creping aid is applied directly to said second surface of said fibrous structure.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of applying said creping aid comprises applying said creping aid directly to said forming fabric.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of applying said creping aid comprises applying said creping aid directly to said foraminous carrier fabric.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said drying surface is heated.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of removing said fibrous structure from said drying surface is accomplished by creping.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-thermosetting cationic resin has a viscosity of about 20 centipoise to 500 centipoise.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-thermosetting cationic resin has a total solids content of about 12% to 30% based on the dry weight of said non-thermosetting cationic resin.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein said creping aid is applied at a rate of from about 0.25 to 7.0 pounds of dry weight of the total applied creping aid per ton of dry fiber produced at the reel of the paper machine.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein said fibrous structure has a moisture content of between about 10% to about 90% upon contact with said drying surface.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein said creping aid further comprises a plasticizer.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein said plasticizer is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and glycerol.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein said plasticizer comprises from about 0.5% to 90% of said creping aid based on the dry weight of said plasticizer relative to the dry weight of the creping aid.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein said non-thermosetting cationic resin and said plasticizer are applied together and said polyvinyl alcohol is applied separately.

16. The method of claim 12 wherein said non-thermosetting cationic resin, said plasticizer and said polyvinyl alcohol are each applied separately.

17. A method for producing paper products, said method comprising the steps of:

a) providing a fibrous structure;
b) providing a drying surface;
c) applying a creping aid whereby said creping aid contacts one of said drying surface and one of said fibrous structure, said creping aid comprising:
i) about 5% to 95% of a polyvinyl alcohol,
ii) about 5% to 90% of a non-thermosetting cationic resin containing no secondary amines, said non-thermosetting cationic resin derived from reacting the polyamides of a dicarboxylic acid and methyl bis(3-aminopropylamine) in aqueous solution with epichlorohydrin in a mole ratio of between about 1:0.1 and about 1:0.33, and
iii) about 0.5% to 90% of a plasticizer;
d) applying a fibrous structure to said drying surface whereby said fibrous structure contacts said creping aid;
e) removing said fibrous structure from said drying surface.
