Abstract: Toilet paper based on tissue paper being treated with an O/W emulsion comprising at least one non-ionic emulsifier, at least one anionic co-emulsifier, an oil component having a polarity of at least 20 mN/m or a mixture of oil components wherein at least 75 weight-% of the oils constituting the mixture have a polarity of at least 20 mN/m, 6 to 35 weight % of water, based on the total weight of the emulsion, wherein the total amount of emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers is between 4 and 20 weight based on the total weight of the emulsion. Since in the above lotion composition the external phase is aqueous, a web treated therewith can easily be wet by water and does not float on the water if it is to be disposed in a toilet. Moreover, this lotion shows an improved brightness after application on tissue paper, smell and rheology.

Abstract: A packaging for hygiene products, includes, in order to define a volume accommodating the hygdene products, at least two main walls which are situated substantially opposite to one another and two side walls which connect the main walls with one another and that are situated substantially opposite to one another, a tear tab including at least one section of one of the main wails and one section of one of the side wails, the tear tab exposing a removal opening for removing hygiene products

Abstract: A multi-ply web of tissue paper having at least two plies comprising a first web (2a) consisting of at least one ply and being provided with a first embossing pattern forming cushions (24) limited by regions (22) of compressed material and a second web (3a) having at least one ply and being provided with a second pattern with protrusions (32) of compressed material. The first web and the second web are combined together such that the protrusions of compressed material (32) of the second web (3a) are positioned inside the cushions (24) limited by the regions (22) of compressed material (22). Further, the invention relates to a paper converting device and a method for producing such product.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for manufacturing a hygiene paper product includes: providing a continuous paper web, moving the continuous web in the direction of its longitudinal extension, applying a repetitive creative structure relative to the longitudinal extension of the web as a first pattern to the web with a first roll, applying a repetitive functional structure relative to the longitudinal extension of the web as a second pattern to the web with a second roll, while enabling the first pattern to be in register with the second pattern by concurrently controlling the repetitive surface speed of continuous web and the phasing between the first roll and the second roll.

Abstract: In a tissue paper making machine downstream the yankee-cylinder (9) and upstream the tambour roll (14) a spark detector (13) is provided in the vicinity of the paper web running to the winding-up section (4) in order to detect sparks of glowing fibers or fiber conglomerates, which can be enrailed by the high speed run of the paper web and can be transferred to the paper roll (15) where the sparks are trapped between the paper web windings of the paper mill. Knowledge of this fact offers the possibility to avoid fire in the mother-roll storage.
