It is now possible to form a web having at least a portion of the cellulose fibers reacted with a water-soluble cellulose reaction reagent such as cyanuric halide or vinyl sulfone, and then, in the presence of a caustic agent, the fiber is reacted with monochloroacetic acid, It has been found that by reacting with the salt, the bulk of the sheet of tissue web can be increased without degrading or hardly degrading tensile strength. |
