A method is disclosed for topical application of compositions containing a chemical
additive onto a paper web. The present invention is also directed to paper products
formed from the method. In general, the method includes the steps of extruding
a composition containing a chemical additive through a melt blown die and then
applying the composition to a moving paper web. In particular, the method provides
for the application of tacky compositions to a web through a melt blown die while
avoiding die tip clogging. In one embodiment, the chemical composition is extruded
into fibers and applied to the paper web. The chemical composition may contain,
for instance, various additives, such as a polysiloxane softener and one or more
beneficial agents.
