Embossed multi-ply tissue product
Disclosed are multi-ply embossed tissue products having improved softness, strength, embossment clarity and/or embossment height compared to prior art embossed tissue products. The multi-ply tissue products may comprise an embossed tissue ply having a basis weight less than about 25 grams per square meter (gsm) and relatively deep embossments, such as an embossment height from about 500 to about 1,000 μm and relatively narrow bottom portions compared to top portions. The combination of these elements provides an aesthetically pleasing and well-defined embossment, while improving important tissue product properties such as sheet and roll bulk and softness.
DURABLE AND DISPERSIBLE CREPED MULTI-PLY TISSUE
Disclosed are multi-ply tissue products comprising a non-crosslinked binder that are durable and dispersible. The products generally have a Slosh time less than 2 minutes, such as less than about 60 seconds, such as less than about 45 seconds. Surprisingly, the foregoing Slosh times are achieved despite the tissue products having relatively high cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength, such as greater than about 100 g/3″. Typically, increasing wet tensile strength, particularly wet CD tensile strength, negatively effects dispersability and increases Slosh time. Despite this trend, the present invention surprisingly provides a tissue product having a relatively high degree of wet strength and good dispersability.
METHOD OF MAKING DOUBLE-WALLED STRUCTURE, AND STRUCTURE FORMED BY THE METHOD
The document relates to a method of making a disposable double walled structure comprising an inner wall portion (51) surrounding a product space presenting a cross section and extending along an axial direction, perpendicular to the cross section, between first and second axially spaced apart portions, and an outer wall portion (52) at least partially surrounding the inner wall portion (51), wherein an insulating space is formed between the inner and outer wall portions. The method comprises forming the inner and outer walls (51, 52) in one piece, such that the inner and outer walls are connected at the first axial portion and at least partially overlap as seen in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction, and bending at least one of the inner (51) and outer (52) wall portions in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction towards the other one of the inner (51) and outer (52) wall portions at the second axial portion, so as to form the insulating space.
TISSUE PRODUCT AND METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING SAME
A tissue product includes at least one ply with embossed protrusions defining an interior volume, the embossed protrusions including a base, a top surface and a sidewall extending from the top surface to the base, wherein the sidewall of at least 10% of the embossed protrusion is provided with an indent region shaped such that the sidewall bends towards the interior volume of the embossed protrusion.
PAPER JOINT WITHOUT DISCONTINUITY FOR TUBE SHAPED PAPER WRAPS CLOSED BY MEANS OF EMBOSSED PAPER AND RE-SEALABLE INNERLINER SEAL BY MEANS OF STRUCTURED INNERLINER
A set of thin foil surfaces configured to achieve a joint among the foil surfaces, the joint being arranged to be without discontinuity, comprising at least a first portion of surface dedicated to achieve the joint; pixelized type embossings on the first portion of surface; and at least a second portion of surface dedicated to achieve the joint. The second portion of surface is shaped to correspond to the first portion of surface for making the joint between the first portion of surface and the second portion of surface through contact.
Embossing system
An embossing system including: an embossing unit with at least one embossing roller arranged to emboss a web of paper intended to be joined with a further web by gluing; and a gluing unit associated with the embossing unit, with a tank containing the glue used to perform the gluing and a glue dispensing device including a cliche roller adapted to distribute by contact the glue contained in the tank on one of the webs while the embossing is performed, the cliche roller rotating with a pre-fixed angular velocity around an axis parallel to said at least one embossing roller. The system further includes: a sensor to produce electrical signals having amplitude and/or frequency related to the vibrations at which the cliche roll is instantaneously subject.
THERMOPLASTIC FILMS AND BAGS WITH COMPLEX STRETCH PATTERNS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
A thermoplastic film which exhibits elastic-like behavior along at least one axis when stretched or elongated and then released. The thermoplastic film comprises a plurality of raised rib-like elements extending in a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the thermoplastic film. The thermoplastic film further includes a plurality of web areas positioned about the plurality of raised rib-like elements. The plurality of raised rib-like elements and plurality of web areas are arranged in a complex pattern. The complex pattern provides visual and tactile cues as the films are stretched or elongated. The complex pattern can cause the thermoplastic film to have a complex stretch profile.
EMBOSSED MULTI-PLY TISSUE PRODUCT
Disclosed are multi-ply embossed tissue products having improved softness, strength, embossment clarity and/or embossment height compared to prior art embossed tissue products. The multi-ply tissue products may comprise an embossed tissue ply having a basis weight less than about 25 grams per square meter (gsm) and relatively deep embossments, such as an embossment height from about 500 to about 1,000 gm and relatively narrow bottom portions compared to top portions. The combination of these elements provides an aesthetically pleasing and well-defined embossment, while improving important tissue product properties such as sheet and roll bulk and softness.
Multi-ply fibrous product comprising a laminating adhesive with a dermatologically acceptable acid
A multi-ply fibrous product includes at least two fibrous plies, such as a multi-ply nonwoven product, a tissue paper product or a hybrid thereof including at least two tissue paper plies and/or nonwoven plies including cellulosic fibers. At least two fibrous plies are bonded to each other by an aqueous adhesive composition including an adhesive component and a dermatologically acceptable acid, and optionally a salt thereof. A process for the manufacture of this multi-ply fibrous product includes (a) providing at least two fibrous webs, (c) applying an aqueous adhesive composition including an adhesive component and a water-soluble, dermatologically acceptable acid, and optionally the corresponding salt thereof, to at least one side of at least one fibrous web, d) superimposing at least two webs such that the aqueous adhesive composition is located between at least two superimposed webs, and e) bonding at least two webs together.
PACKAGING MATERIAL
The disclosed embodiments relate to an insulative protective packaging material constructed using recyclable paper materials. The packaging material includes one or more plies of paper adhered to each other. The one or more plies can have protrusions that form gas pockets. The gas pockets can be sealed by another ply to provide shock absorbency and insulation. Further, the plies can be used in multiple ways such as by nesting the protrusions of one ply into the recessed of another ply, layering multiple plies on top of each other, or individually. Each ply can be substantially flat or have protrusions. The protrusions can be made in various ways such as alternating the directions that they extend and varying the shapes of the protrusions. The resulting packaging material can be used as a shipping container or as liners within shipping containers.
