A process for making an absorbent towel paper web is disclosed. The process steps include a) providing a papermaking furnish, b) forming a differential density wet fibrous web from the paper making furnish; and, c) drying the differential density wet fibrous web until fibrous web contains not more than about 10% by weight moisture to form the absorbent towel paper web. Step a) provides the steps of providing: i) from about 20.1% to about 99.9% by weight of a softwood pulp fiber mixture and, ii) from greater than 0% to about 79.9% by weight of a hardwood pulp fiber mixture. Step i) further provides the steps of providing u) from about 20% to about 99.8% by weight of softwood pulp fiber, v) from about 0.05% to about 20% by weight of cellulose nano-filaments, and, w) from about 0.05% to about 5.0% by weight of strengthening additive.

Rapid and long lasting defoaming is accomplished by use of a defoamer formulation employing an organopolysiloxane having siloxy groups linked by an alkylene group, a filler, a silicone resin, a silanol-terminated organopolysiloxane, and an inorganic or organic acid.

Defoamer formulations with rapid knockdown and extended performance contain specific polyorganosiloxanes having alkylene linkages between siloxy groups, silicone resins, fillers, a polyoxyethylene surfactant, and an organic or inorganic acid.

The present invention provides a treated fiber having reduced hydrogen bonding capabilities, which may be useful in the production of tissue products having improved bulk and softness. The treated fiber comprises a water-insoluble inorganic compound that is generated in situ by reacting at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a silicate, a silyl, a silane, and an alkaline metal and a precipitation agent in the presence of the fiber at or above the critical fiber consistency.

The invention relates to a UV-curable composition comprising: (i) a silicone comprising epoxy groups; (ii) an iodonium salt; and (iii) a metal-doped zeolite. A kit, from which the UV curable composition may be prepared and which also forms part of the invention, comprises: a first part comprising component (iii) dispersed in component (ii), and a second part comprising component (ii). The invention also relates to a method of preparing a material for the adsorption of ethylene by applying the UV curable composition onto a substrate and curing the material with UV light. The resulting cured materials also form part of the invention.

A solvent-free type silicone composition is provided. The composition includes (A) an organopolysiloxane having at least two alkenyl groups each bonded to a silicon atom in a molecule, and having no or at least one aryl group in a molecule; (B1) an organohydrogenpolysiloxane having at least three hydrogen atoms each bonded to a silicon atom in a molecule and an aryl group in a number that a percentage (%) of the total number of the aryl groups relative to the total number of hydrogen atoms and groups each bonded to a silicon atom (hereinafter referred to as percentage of the aryl group) is at least 8%, in an amount such that a ratio of the number of SiH groups in component (B1) to the number of alkenyl groups in component (A) is between 0.5 and 10; and (C) a catalytic amount of a catalyst based on a platinum group metal.
