A system and method for producing a board product made from paper products that have embossed medium that features an improved structural profile. The improved structural profile may include a triangular flute pattern wherein each flute may exhibit a first linear leg support and a second linear leg support that each support a center apex structure. The apex may have a substantially flat portion that is configured to engage a facing. As such, the board product may further include one or more facings that are adhesively coupled to the embossed medium. Further, the apex of each triangle may also have a groove or channel for receiving an adhesive in a continuous and uniform manner.

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.

Patterned substrates having a first substrate region that is incrementally mechanically stretched with corrugations and a second substrate region having a plurality of discrete unstretched portions completely surrounded by the first substrate region.

Methods and apparatuses for deforming a web are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method involves feeding a web into a nip that is formed between at least two intermeshing rolls. The rolls are configured for deforming a web with at least two sets of deformations that are oriented in different directions relative to the surfaces of the web.

A non-fibrous film has a non-weakened portion and a weakened portion having at least one mechanical property having a value that is lower than the value of the mechanical property of the non-weakened portion. The film has an optical characteristic including a clarity of at least 75 percent.

A core layer suitable for a multilayer composite including at least one surface layer and one core layer, the surface layer arranged to at least partially cover the core layer and be fixedly connected thereto, wherein the core layer has elements composed of wood, which elements have plate-like regions arranged in zig-zag-shaped fashion, wherein a plate-like zig region of an element with an adjoining plate-like zag region of the element form a common edge between them, in such a way that the wood element of zig-zag-shaped form is formed, wherein elements of zig-zag-shaped form are arranged in the core layer such that two such edges of two different elements cross one another at a non-zero angle, and wherein the two elements are fixedly connected to one another at the crossing point. In one embodiment, a wood element of zig-zag-shaped form may be adhesively bonded to a planar wood element.

Method for designing a corrugated roofing sheet made of natural fibers, impregnated with bitumen including a uniform pattern of mutually parallel alternating corrugations borne by a mid-plane, the corrugations defining rounded crests each separated from the next by a rounded trough, the crests and trough being connected by alternately inclined portions, the transverse offset between two successive crests being equal to the transverse offset between two successive troughs and defining the pitch P of the corrugations, the sheet having a thickness E of material substantially constant over its extent, and a height H being twice the distance between the mid-plane and the exterior surface of a crest or twice the distance between the mid-plane and the exterior surface of a trough, these two distances being identical. The height, thickness and pitch values are determined by Fi<H.sup.3/(8?E?(H+P))<Fs, where Fi=25 mm and Fs=35 mm.

The panel member molded from a fiber reinforced plastic material includes the waved plate section. In the waved plate section, lateral wall portions are connected to upright wall portions through bent portions. Each lateral wall portion includes a general portion extending along the wavelength direction of the waved plate section. A plate thickness of the general portions of the lateral wall portions is set thinner than a plate thickness of the upright wall portions. The general portion at least does not include bubbles with a larger diameter than reinforcing fibers. An array direction of the reinforcing fibers disposed in the general portion of the lateral wall portion is set in a direction running along the wavelength direction of the waved plate section.

A non-fibrous film has at least one film body that is non-fibrous, and at least one film element that is non-fibrous. The film element is coupled to the film body at an interface that is non-continuous across a film width of the non-fibrous film. The non-fibrous film has at least one of the following characteristics: the interface has at least one mechanical property having a value that is different than the value of the mechanical property of at least one of the film element and the film body, and/or the film element has at least one mechanical property having a value that is different than the value of the mechanical property of the film body.

A fibre-containing sheet comprising a folding pattern and a partly or fully folded sheet product obtained from the fibre-containing sheet is disclosed. The folding pattern of the fibre-containing sheet comprises a series of parallel straight fold lines and a series of zigzag fold lines. Each zigzag fold line has a breadth which is greater than a breadth of a straight fold line. The partly folded sheet product can be shaped into various complex geometrical shapes, including spheres and saddle points, as a result of the folding pattern. A method for producing the fibre-containing sheet as well as use of the fibre-containing sheet is also disclosed.
