Rezosol™ release aids
Rezosol release aids comprise a broad portfolio of products that allow tissue makers to effectively control adhesion in the creping process and improve sheet softness. Rezosol release aids are designed to enhance release at the Yankee cylinder and TAD fabric. The application of these release aids in conjunction with Crepetrol™ creping adhesives ensures that sheet softness, bulk and absorbency requirements are met. Delivering the optimum Yankee coating package is the primary objective of both of these technologies.
Recent R&D efforts have resulted in several new Rezosol release aids. Some recently introduced products utilize vegetable oil instead of mineral oil.
These BfR-approved products offer improved release, are readily dispersible and are fully compatible with existing coating technology. New, ester-based products that are biodegradable allow the tissue maker to modify coating rheology and enhance softness at the blade. These synthetic products also offer enhanced release as well as improved sheet softness. Newer technologies that offer even better release and improved absorbency are also available. These products are designed to increase doctor blade life (particularly ceramic blades) and felt life.

Method of Application
Rezosol release aids are typically applied to the Yankee surface along with a creping adhesive, and occasionally an adhesion modifier, through the same sprayboom. The sprayboom is located after the creping blade and the cleaning blade, but before the pressure roll, using specific geometries and spray pressures to achieve optimum results.
The adhesive portion of the coating package migrates to the hot Yankee surface and produces a robust protective layer. Release aids migrate to the air surface, providing blade lubrication and the correct level of adhesion for the sheet. Adhesion modifiers control the adhesion force, enabling superior crepe within a much wider range of moisture operation.
