A method of barrier coating a porous substrate, the method comprising: coating a surface of the substrate with an intermediate layer, said intermediate layer filling pores at the surface of the substrate; and coating the intermediate layer with a non-polymer barrier layer.

To provide a method for manufacturing three-ply or four-ply tissue paper that reduces a sticky feeling of an outer surface while securing necessary softness. In manufacturing tissue paper including a stacked sheet in which three plies or four plies are stacked, each of the plies contains an aqueous moisturizer exhibiting hygroscopicity, and each of the plies has a difference in magnitude of an arithmetic mean height Sa according to ISO 25718 between both surfaces of each of the plies. A manufacturing method includes: applying the moisturizer to each of the plies such that the moisturizer is applied to an outer surface of each of the plies located on an outer side of the stacked sheet in a state where the outer surface has a small value of the arithmetic mean height Sa; folding the stacked sheet in which the moisturizer has been applied to each of the plies; and then storing the stacked sheet in the storage body in a folded state.

A spray applicator (1) for spraying a fluid onto a web (W) of material has a first group of spray nozzles (10A) arranged along a first axis (FA) and a second group of spray nozzles (11A) arranged along a second axis (SA). The first (FA) and second (SA) spray nozzle axes are arranged on the same side of a plane in which the web (W) is run. Each spray nozzle (10A, 11A) has an elongated spray opening configured to spray fluid in a direction towards the web (W). The first spray nozzle opening of the first group of spray nozzles (10A) has an inclination angle which differs from the second nozzle opening inclination angle of the second group of spray nozzles (11A).

A moisture-retaining, quality-preserving and aroma-keeping vacuum aluminum-plated inner liner for cigarettes and method of making the inner liner, the inner liner including a raw paper layer, an upper surface of the raw paper layer being provided with a hot melt sealing layer, a water-based sealing layer, a vacuum aluminum-plated layer, and a water-based protective layer, where a lower surface of the raw paper layer is provided with a moisture returning layer and the inner liner further includes a moisture-retaining and aroma-keeping layer disposed on the upper surface or the lower surface of the raw paper layer.
