The present description generally refers to a tissue paper product having a crepe composition disposed on at least one surface thereof to increase the smoothness of the article, while retaining or improving manufacturing efficiency. Preferably, the creping composition comprises a first component that is catholic and a second component that is capable of forming a film. Preferably, both the first and second components are soluble in water. The first component has a cationic charge that is capable of forming ionic bonds with the negatively charged fibers of the tissue paper weft, thus providing a retention mechanism by which the creping composition is retained. The total retention of the creping composition reduces the concentration of the composition in the process water of the machine, which improves the operability of the machine and its operating capacity. |
