Abstract: A tissue paper product has at least two laminated plies, each of which is individually embossed so as to exhibit a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised ridges and recessed areas. The ridges of each individual ply form a network pattern, the plies being joined together by adhesive applied on the contacting ridges of one or both of the embossed paper plies.

Abstract: Absorbent wetlaid paper containing at least 1% by weight, calculated on the dry weight of the paper, of an absorbent polymeric material having a thermo-reversible liquid uptake capacity, which has a cloud point, Cp, in water within the temperature interval 30-60° C., preferably 35-55° C., at which the polymer has a substantially higher liquid uptake capacity at temperatures below said cloud point as compared to at temperatures above the cloud point. The thermo-reversible polymer will then be inactive during the papermaking process and be activated to its swelling and absorbent form when it is brought into contact with a liquid, the temperature of which is below the cloud point, Cp, of the polymer.

Abstract: Method of producing a paper having a three-dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions which is given the paper in connection with impulse drying. The paper web has a varying material composition as seen in its thickness direction, so that it at least in an outer layer contains an amount of a material that softens, melts or hardens in the temperature interval 100-400° C. or in some other way contributes in stabilizing the pattern structure that has been given the paper. It is further referred to an impulse dried paper produced according to the method.

The invention also refers to a paper produced by the method, said paper having a high extensibility.

Abstract: A process for producing paper having a three-dimensional structure of alternating raised and recessed portions including passing a wet paper web through a heated press nip so the paper web is simultaneously dried by means of impulse drying and given a three dimensional structure. The heated press nip includes a heated pressure roll with a three dimensional pattern of alternating raised and recessed portions in its surface and a compressible surface. The compressible surface can be a compressible press felt which supports the wet paper web prior to and through the heated press nip. The compressible press felt may be pressed against a resilient compressible surface in the heated press nip away from the heated cylinder. The wet paper web may be a papermaking pulp containing at least 10%, and preferably at least 30% or 50% by weight of a high-yield pulp such as TMP or CTMP.

Abstract: A method of applying liquid in a finely divided form onto a moving surface and an apparatus for carrying out that method. A flow of air containing suspended liquid particles is passed substantially parallel to the moving surface and across its direction of movement within a container which extends across the width of the moving surface. The container has a slit or a series of openings facing the moving surface, through which slit or openings at least a part of the liquid particles entrained in the air flow are deflected and passed substantially normal to the surface to be deposited thereon.
