  • TISSUE HAVING HIGH STRENGTH AND LOW MODULUS
    Publication number: 20140209265
    Abstract: The present invention provides tissue products having a high degree of stretch and low modulus at relatively high tensile strengths, such as geometric mean tensile strengths greater than about 1500 g/3? and more preferably greater than about 2000 g/3?. The combination of a tough, yet relatively supple sheet is preferably achieved by subjecting the embryonic web to a speed differential as it is passed from one fabric in the papermaking process to another, commonly referred to as rush transfer.
    Type: Application

  • Soft single-ply tissue
    Patent number: 7935221
    Abstract: A soft single-ply tissue sheet is produced by making a textured, high bulk, through dried tissue sheet and calendering the sheet with a high level of compression energy to substantially reduce the bulk and impart improved properties to the sheet.

  • Method for embossing textured tissue sheets
    Patent number: 7384506
    Abstract: Embossing regularly textured sheets with an appropriate regular, discrete embossing pattern to improve softness can result in a combined texture that creates an interference pattern that camouflages the original texture pattern and the embossing pattern. The resulting pattern is more appealing to the eye and is more random in appearance than the initial textured sheet or the embossing pattern individually. This result is particularly advantageous for paper towels.

  • Wide wale tissue sheets and method of making same
    Patent number: 6808599
    Abstract: Highly textured tissue sheets, particularly suitable for use as bath tissue, are produced by throughdrying and have a low number and/or low amount of pinholes. The low number or amount of pinholes is provided by using a throughdrying fabric having parallel wide ridges with a height suited to the particular tissue sheet being produced.

  • Liquid absorbent wiping products made from airlaid webs
    Publication number: 20040192136
    Abstract: Airlaid paper wiping products are disclosed having improved wipe dry characteristics in conjunction with softness properties. The wiping products are formed from an airlaid nonwoven web containing pulp fibers. The pulp fibers, in one embodiment, may include low coarseness softwood fibers, such as low coarseness softwood fibers. A bonding material may be applied to one or both sides of the nonwoven web. The wiping product can be used as a paper towel, industrial wiper, and the like.
