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.
