Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the combination of at least two plies (5, 6) based on tissue paper without glue and by pressure marking, characterized in that it involves embossing at least one first ply (5) according to an embossing design by passage between a first cylinder (2) and a cylinder (4) covered externally with a rubber blanket, then combining at least one second ply (6) with the said first ply (5) by causing the said plies (5, 6) to pass between a first engraved steel cylinder (2) of axis CC? and at least one first series of small externally smooth coaxial cylinders (1) of axis XX?, then between the said first cylinder (2) and a second series of small externally smooth coaxial cylinders (3) of axes YY?, the axes CC?, XX? and YY? being horizontal and parallel. The invention embraces, furthermore, the installation intended for carrying out the said method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing an absorbent sheet comprising at least two plies of cellulose wadding, consisting in combining said plies under pressure by passing between two steel cylindrical components, the first being smooth on the outside and the second being equipped with raised components on the outside and the hardness of the first cylindrical component being lower than that of the second cylindrical component. According to the invention, the first cylindrical component has a treated hardened surface layer and a deformable underlayer; the second cylindrical component has a hardened outer surface, and the sheet, when it passes between the two cylindrical components is compressed at a specific pressure between 40 and 250 N/mm2. Another subject of the invention is an assembly of steel cylindrical components intended for the manufacture of multiply absorbent sheets.

Abstract: The invention relates to a substantially rectangular multi-ply disintegratable absorbent sheet based on tissue which comprises at least three plies, and which has a coefficient KNOVE=RSM×RST×A×G×Exp (12×(E+Ep))×(1/Exp (SP))>75 000 where RST=strength in the cross direction of the sheet, in N/m RSM=strength in the machine direction of the sheet, in N/m G=basis weight of the sheet in kg/m2 E=thickness of the sheet in mm Sp=flexibility of the sheet in N A=absorption of the sheet in kg/m2 EP=mean thickness of one ply of the sheet in mm, EP being greater than 0.115 mm. The invention is also aimed at the process for manufacturing such a sheet and at rolls consisting of said sheets.

Abstract: The cellulose fiber (tissue) product of the invention, such as a handkerchief or napkin, is made by combining at least two tissue plies cut into a desired format and connected to one another along a peripheral zone, and is characterized in that the plies are adhesively bonded along the perhipheral zone in such a manner that they evince a minimum delamination strength of 1 g/cm, and the peripheral zone is less than 50% of the total product surface.
