    Abstract: A paper tissue such as a facial tissue or a disposable handkerchief and a method for making a tissue paper product from a tissue paper web. The method comprises the steps of passing the tissue paper web through an embossing nip formed between a first and a second embossing roll, wherein at least one of the embossing rolls comprises at least 30 embossing elements per square centimeter; and passing the tissue paper web through a calendering nip formed between a first and a second calendering roll, wherein the first and the second calendering roll are in contact with the tissue paper web over a contact length measured parallel to the direction of the axis of the first calendering roll exert a pressure onto the paper web of at least 50 N per centimeter of the contact length.

  • Patent number: 5810972
    Abstract: A method for the manufacture of creped hygienic cellulose paper, in particular. A hemicellulose containing additive, in particular galactomannan, xylan or highly milled birch pulp, is added to the pulp either prior to the pulp being deposited on the wire of the paper machine, after the pulp is deposited on the wire of the paper machine, or both before and after the pulp is deposited on the wire. As a result of this measure, the strength of the paper web thus produced and its runnability properties are substantially improved, while the softness virtually remains unchanged. In addition, the energy requirements for drying the paper web are substantially reduced.
