Abstract: The present invention provides for an embossed paper product comprising one or more plies of paper where at least one ply comprises a plurality of embossments where the embossments have an embossment height of from about 800 microns to about 2500 microns and an emboss impression angle of from about 90 degrees to about 150 degrees.

Abstract: A method for processing a web material having a machine direction and a cross-machine direction coplanar and perpendicular thereto is disclosed herein. The method incorporates the step of first directing a web material proximate to an air foil. Steam is then applied to the web material by the air foil. Finally, the web material is processed by any downstream web material processing operation.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a deep-nested embossed product including a first embossing member and a second embossing member. The first embossing member has a plurality of discrete embossing elements disposed in a first non-random pattern. The second embossing member has a plurality of second embossing elements including at least one linear embossing element. The second embossing elements are disposed in a second non-random pattern such the first non-random pattern and the second non-random pattern nest together to a depth of greater than about 0.01 mm.

Abstract: A web substrate comprising a plurality of embossment regions and an embossment pattern for a web substrate are disclosed. Each of the embossment regions is bounded by a first axis and a second axis orthogonal thereto. Each of the first axis are collectively elongate and each of the second axis are collectively parallel and discontinuous.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing an embossed product including a first embossing member having a plurality of discrete embossing elements disposed in a first non-random pattern having at least one first single pattern unit. The total area of the distal ends of the discrete embossing elements in the first single pattern unit is less than about 5.0 cm2. The apparatus also includes a second embossing member having a plurality of linear embossing elements disposed in a second non-random pattern having at least one second single pattern unit. The total area of the second distal ends in the second single pattern unit is less than about 10 cm2. The second non-random pattern is coordinated with the first non-random pattern such that when engaged with each other the first single pattern unit and the second single pattern unit make up an embossing pattern single pattern unit.

Abstract: A web product including one or more plies, the web product having a first side and a second side, the web product including a plurality of discrete embossments extending from the first side to the second side; and at least one linear embossment extending from the second side to the first side, wherein the web product has an average embossment height of greater than about 650 ?m.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for producing a deep-nested embossed paper products. The invention relates to a process for producing a deep-nested embossed paper products comprising one or more plies of paper where the resulting embossed ply or plies of paper comprise a plurality of embossments having an average embossment height of at least about 650 ?m and have a high finished product wet burst strength relative to the unembossed wet strength.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing a deep-nested embossed paper product comprising two embossing cylinders, each cylinder having a plurality of protrusions on its surface. The protrusions on each cylinder are disposed in a non-random pattern where the respective non-random patterns are coordinated to each other. The two embossing cylinders are aligned such that the respective coordinated non-random pattern of protrusions nest together such that the protrusions engage each other to a depth of greater than about 1.016 mm. The protrusions each comprise a top plane and sidewalls, with the top plane and sidewalls meeting at a protrusion corner. The protrusion corners of the protrusions of the embossing cylinders of the apparatus of the present invention have a radius of curvature ranging from about 0.076 mm to about 1.778 mm.
