  • Process for the manufacture of multi-ply tissue
    Publication number: 20040045685
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of a multi-ply tissue comprising at least two plies. The process comprises steps of mechanically refining a first slurry of fibers wherein the fibers have an average length of at least 2 mm; mixing the refined slurry with a second slurry of fibers, providing an embryonic web upon a foraminous surface, removing water from the embryonic web to form a ply; and juxtaposing at least two plies to form the multi-ply tissue.

  • Thick and smooth multi-ply tissue
    Patent number: 6602387
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a paper tissue, and in particular to facial tissue, and disposable handkerchiefs. Claimed and described is a paper tissue comprising at least two plies, characterized in that the paper tissue has a physiological surface smoothness parameter of less than 700 microns, preferably from 650 microns to 50 microns, more preferably from 650 microns to 300 microns and in combination has a caliper per ply of more than 0.09 mm, preferably from 0.09 mm to 0.5 mm, more preferably from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm. In one preferred embodiment a three-ply tissue with embossed middle ply is provided. Further is a related process claimed and described.
