MULTI-PLY TISSUE PRODUCTS HAVING IMPROVED CROSS-MACHINE DIRECTION PROPERTIES

Provided are tissue webs, and products produced therefrom, that are generally durable, flexible and have improved cross-machine direction (CD) properties, such as CD tensile energy absorption (CD TEA), CD stretch and CD modulus. The inventive tissue products generally comprise multiple tissue plies, such as two or more plies, that have been prepared by through-air drying and more preferably by through-air drying without creping. Moreover, the plies may be produced in a through-air drying process that utilizes a transfer fabric positioned between the forming fabric and the through-air drying fabric where the transfer fabric imparts the nascent web with a high degree of CD strain.

Fibrous sheet with improved properties

A method for producing a foam-formed multilayered substrate that includes producing an aqueous-based foam including at least 3% by weight non-straight synthetic binder fibers, wherein the non-straight synthetic binder fibers have an average length greater than 2 mm; forming together a wet sheet layer from the aqueous-based foam and a cellulosic fiber layer, wherein the cellulosic fiber layer includes at least 60 percent by weight cellulosic fibers; and drying the combined layers to obtain the foam-formed multilayer substrate. A multilayered substrate includes a first layer including at least 60 percent by weight non-straight synthetic binder fibers having an average length greater than 2 mm; and a second layer including at least 60 percent by weight cellulosic fiber, wherein the first layer is in a facing relationship with the second layer, and wherein the multilayered substrate has a wet/dry tensile ratio of at least 60%.

Sanitary tissue product with a shaped line of weakness

A web of sanitary tissue of the present disclosure may comprise a shaped line of weakness, wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a Line of Weakness Performance Factor (LWP Factor) of from about 7 to about 30, and a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g according to the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Test Method.

PROCESS TO MANUFACTURE LOW WEIGHT HIGH QUALITY PAPER FOR USE AS A SUPPORT LAYER OF A RELEASE LINER WITH A BELT ASSEMBLY
20170284024 · 2017-10-05 ·

The invention relates to manufacturing low weight high quality paper suitable for use as a support layer of a release liner. A paper web is formed from pulp slurry, the moisture content of the paper web is reduced by a press section (PSEC), the paper web is supported by a belt (BELT1) from a first contact point (CP1) in the press section (PSEC) to a first separation point (SP1) in a drying section (DSEC), and the paper web is dried to form paper. The temperature profile of the paper web may be non-decreasing. When supported, the temperature of the paper web of the paper web may be higher than or equal to 56° C. to obtain a paper web having a dry content of at least 40 wt.-% at the first separation point.

LAMINATE, PROCESS, AND USE
20170247837 · 2017-08-31 ·

A paper, or cardboard, or card stock material is made from an organic material, such as ground-up sunflower seeds using an organic binder, such as a glue, which may have the form of a polysaccharide e.g., a long chain naturally occurring sugar. A water resistant, or water impermeable coating, such as a PLA coating, is applied to one or both sides of the card stock to form a laminate. The card stock may be formed into a shape or structure, such as a carton, or bowl, or cup, either prior to or after coating. The card stock material or the primary layer, the binder, and the plastic coating are all based on materials that are typically considered to be waste by-products of agricultural or food services processing, and they are all materials that may tend to be suitable for composting or biodegradation.

Method of producing a fibrous product and a fibrous product

The present invention relates to multi-layer fiber products and a method of manufacturing these kinds of products. The present product comprises a first layer consists mainly of natural fibers and a second, heat-sealing layer located on top of the first layer. The heat-sealing layer consists mainly of synthetic thermoplastic fibers or particles. According to the present method, the heat-sealing layer is brought onto the first layer already during the web forming process, the first and the second layers being formed and joined together in a foam forming process. With the present invention, it is possible to decrease the amount of plastic materials in packaging materials having heat-sealing properties.
