A film is made from a wet laid product containing cellulose fibers and cellulose ester fibers and a plasticizer. The film can be made by heat pressing the wet laid sheet to form a film having a continuous phase of cellulose ester resin and a discontinuous phase of cellulose fibers.

To provide tissue paper with an excellent “moist texture” and high “smooth texture.” 2-ply tissue paper is characterized by the basis weight per ply being less than 13 g/m.sup.2, the 2-ply paper thickness being less than 135 μm, and containing above 1.4 g/m.sup.2 and less than 4.9 g/m.sup.2 of chemical agent which contains glycerin and 1,3-propanediol in a total amount of 83 mass % or more, wherein the mass ratio of glycerin and 1,3-propanediol is above 1:0.18 and less than 1:5.11.

A method for producing an aqueous copolymer solution, which comprises dissolving a copolymer of (meth)acrylamide and at least 1 mol-% cationic monomers, calculated from total amount of monomers in the dissolving water having calcium hardness of at least mg/l, expressed as Ca.sup.2+, and adding acid comprising monoprotic organic acid and/or mineral acid to the dissolving water and/or the aqueous solution of the copolymer in an amount sufficient to provide the aqueous solution of the copolymer with a pH of equal to or less than 4.5. The invention also relates to uses of the obtained polymer solutions in manufacturing of paper, board or the like or in treatment of sludge or water.

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.
