Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An absorbent paper sheet is treated with an aqueous wax dispersion such that the sheet includes a fused wax and emulsifier residue in an amount of from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of the sheet based on the combined weight of the fiber, wax residue and an emulsifier residue in the sheet. The fused wax emulsion operates to make at least one surface of the sheet laterally hydrophobic, exhibiting a moisture penetration delay of at least about 2 seconds and less than about 40 seconds as well as a typical contact angle with water at one minute of at least about 50 degrees.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 6, 2003 and granted April 17, 2018. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 6, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 6, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
