An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a smoking article including a smoking material portion which is wrapped with a smoking material wrapper, a filter portion which has an upstream end combined with the smoking material portion and is wrapped with a filter wrapper, and a tipping paper which wraps around the filter portion and at least a portion of the smoking material portion so that the smoking material portion and the filter portion are combined, wherein a design printing layer, an overprint (OP) coating layer, and a sweetener coating layer are disposed on a surface of the tipping paper.

Novel fibrous structures that contain filaments, and optionally, solid additives, such as fibers, for example wood pulp fibers, sanitary tissue products comprising such fibrous structures, and methods for making such fibrous structures and/or sanitary tissue products are provided.

In general, the present invention is directed to a process for producing multi-ply tissue products from a single ply tissue web and the resulting multi-ply products, which have good softness and strength characteristics. The process of the present invention generally involves producing a first single ply tissue web and then splitting the web into two separate single ply tissue webs that can be converted into a multi-ply web. In certain preferred embodiments the single ply web may be manufactured such that when it is split into two separate webs the two webs are substantially identical.

A sheet forming binder includes a first powder and a second powder having a larger volume average particle size than the first powder. The proportion of the first powder is 10.0% by mass or more relative to the total mass of the first powder and the second powder.

Absorbent wet laid products are made containing cellulose fibers and cellulose ester staple fibers that are co-refined to obtain products and articles that have improved water absorbency and tensile strength or burst strength or both. The absorbent wet laid products can now be made with a synthetic fiber in the wet laid operation since cellulose ester can be subjected to a refining operation.

The invention relates to a titanium dioxide particle with high opacity and UV-greying resistance comprising two silica coats and at least one alumina coat, to a method for the obtaining the same, and to the use of said particle in a method for obtaining a decorative paper laminate or a décor foil. The present invention further pertains a decorative paper laminate or a décor foil containing said coated titanium dioxide particle.

A fabric or belt for a papermaking machine including a first layer that defines a web contacting surface and a second layer that supports the first layer. The first layer is made of extruded polymer and includes a plurality of first elements aligned in a first direction, a plurality of second elements aligned in a second direction and extending over the plurality of first elements, and a plurality of open portions defined by the plurality of first and second elements. The second layer is made of woven fabric. The first layer is bonded to the second layer so that the first layer extends only partially through the second layer and an interface formed between the first and second layers includes bonded and unbonded portions and airflow channels that extend in a plane parallel to the first and second layers.

A water-dispersible composite structure, which comprises one or more layers, and a method of producing the same. At least a part of the layers is formed by a fibrous web or sheet containing 50-90 parts by weight of wood fibers and 10-90 parts by weight of annual or perennial plant fibers and/or 10-50 parts by weight of synthetic short-cut fibers, and 0.1-20% by weight of a binder, calculated from the weight of the fibers, and at least a part of the binder being a water-soluble polymer and another part a water dispersible binder, and the fibrous sheet or web being produced by wet forming. By means of the invention, the fibers of the composite structure can be recovered and recycled by equipment conventionally used in the paper and paperboard industry.

Fibrous structures, more particularly wet-laid fibrous structures that exhibit one or more of the following characteristics: a wet-formed surface pattern that includes large cells, for example that exhibits a cell count of less than 120 cells/in.sup.1 and/or that is visually discernible to the naked eye dry and wet and/or is felt by users dry and wet and/or exhibits sufficient flexural rigidity and/or plate stiffness to feel more like a cloth than known wet-laid fibrous structures and/or feels less wet (dry-to-the-touch) after wetting than known wet-laid fibrous structures and methods for making same are provided.

The present inventive concept relates to a process for manufacturing a fiber based cellulose web for dry forming comprising. The process comprises providing a wet cellulose pulp; free drying said wet cellulose pulp to a free dried cellulose pulp, wherein said free drying provides a curl to fibres of said free dried cellulose pulp; separating said free dried cellulose pulp into individual free dried cellulose pulp fibres; and forming said individual free dried cellulose pulp fibres into a cellulose web.
