Abstract
A method of forming an air laid web of hydrogen bonded wood pulp fibers is disclosed. More specifically, a paper producing method is disclosed wherein microencapsulated hydrogen bond promoting material is thoroughly premixed with wood pulp fibers. The mixture is then air laid on a moving screen to form a three dimensional continuum. The microcapsules may then be ruptured by heat and/or pressure to release the hydrogen bond promoting material evenly throughout the continuum. The continuum may then be heated or pressed to further consolidate the web.
