A process for producing wiping products and wiping products made by the
process are disclosed. According to the present invention, a paper web is
treated on both sides with a bonding material. After the bonding material
is applied, the web is then subjected to a dry rush transfer process
during which the web is conveyed from a first moving conveyor to a second
moving conveyor. The second moving conveyor generally has a speed slower
than the first moving conveyor causing a shearing force to be exerted on
the web. The shearing force decreases the stiffness of the web. In one
embodiment, an uncreped throughdried base web is used.
