Definitions

  • Such additives include wet strength agents, which can be permanent or temporary, and debonding agents.
  • wet strength agents impart strength retention to the tissue sheet when it becomes wet by creating or retaining certain fiber-to-fiber bonds that withstand the presence of water or moisture, which is particularly useful for most tissue applications.
  • Temporary wet strength agents are especially useful for bath tissue, where wet strength is needed while the tissue is being used, but is undesirable after the tissue has been flushed into the sewer system.
  • Debonding agents are desirable for the purpose of enhancing the softness of the tissue sheet by reducing the number of papermaking bonds between fibers and enhancing the surface feel of the tissue.
  • debonding agents and wet strength agents can be added to a tissue sheet in a layer-wise fashion to maximize the effectiveness of each additive while minimizing the interaction of the additives with each other. This enables the papermaker to take full advantage of the properties of the additives and the fibers within the various layers of the tissue, resulting in a soft, yet strong, tissue.
  • the invention resides in a method for making a soft tissue sheet comprising (a) forming a layered wet web of papermaking fibers using a layered headbox, said layered wet web having a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and at least one inner layer, wherein the two outer layers comprise predominantly hardwood fibers and said at least one inner layer contains a wet strength agent and comprises predominantly softwood fibers, and wherein at least the first outer layer contains a debonding agent; (b) transferring the layered wet web to a throughdrying fabric wherein said second outer layer is in contact with the throughdrying fabric; and (c) throughdrying the web to form a soft tissue sheet.
  • the resulting throughdried web can be creped or uncreped.
  • the layered web of step (a) can be dried in accordance with conventional "wet-pressing" processes wherein the web is carried by a papermaking felt, pressed against the surface of a Yankee dryer, dried and creped to produce a soft tissue sheet.
  • the invention resides in a soft layered tissue comprising two outer layers and at least one inner layer, wherein said two outer layers contain predominantly hardwood fibers and at least one of the two outer layers, such as the airside layer (hereinafter described), contains a debonding agent, and wherein said at least one inner layer contains predominantly softwood fibers and a wet strength agent.
  • the tissue can be throughdried or wet-pressed and can be creped or uncreped.
  • a “debonding agent” is an additive that enhances the softness of tissue paper.
  • the debonding agents may accomplish this by a variety of means: a) by interfering with formation of hydrogen bonds, such as with fatty quaternary ammonium compounds (debonder); b) by increasing the lubricity of the fibers and increasing flexibility of the web, such as with fatty acid salts and derivatives (e.g., fatty amine derivatives) and silicones; c) reducing surface tension and thereby reducing Campbell's forces during web formation, resulting in reduced bonded area, such as with surfactants; or d) by other means or combinations of means.
  • Suitable debonding agents include, without limitation, alkyl trimethyl quaternary ammonium compounds, dialkyl dimethyl quaternary ammonium compounds, trialkyl methyl quaternary ammonium compounds, dialkoxy alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds, dialkoxy alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds, diamidoamine quaternary compounds, imidazolinium quaternary ammonium compounds, fatty acid derivatives, nonionic surfactants, ampholytic surfactants, silicones, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxypropyl cellulose, methyl hydroxybutyl cellulose, carboxyethylmethyl cellulose, and mixtures thereof.
  • the debonding agents are preferably incorporated into the outer layer(s) by addition into the layer furnish prior to formation of the web.
  • the debonding agents can also be applied to the wet web after formation by spraying the debonding agent onto the web, before drying of the web.
  • the consistency of the wet web can be about 40 percent or less, more specifically about 30 percent or less, and still more specifically about 20 percent or less.
  • the amount of debonding agent applied to the outer layer(s) can be from about 0.125 kg/tonne per layer (0.25 lb./ton per layer) to 25 kg/tonne per layer (50 lb./ton per layer).
  • a "wet strength agent” is an additive that increases the strength of wet tissue paper. It can provide permanent or temporary wet strength to the tissue.
  • Suitable wet strength agents include, without limitation, urea-formaldehyde resins, melamine-formaldehyde resins, epoxidized polyamide resins, polyaminepolyamide-epichlorohydrin resins, glyoxalated polyacrylamide resins, polyethylenimine resins, temporary wet strength resins described in U.S. Patent No.
  • dialdehyde starch cationic aldehyde starch
  • cellulose xanthate synthetic latexes
  • vegetable gums glyoxal
  • acrylic emulsions and amphoteric starch siloxanes.
  • the amount of wet strength agent added to the inner layer of softwood fibers can be from 0.25 kg/tonne/layer (0.5 lb./ton) to 25 kg/tonne/layer (50 lb./ton).
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a tissue making process useful for purposes of this invention.
  • FIG. 1 a method of making multi-layered tissues suitable for purposes of this invention will be described.
  • a twin wire former having a layered papermaking headbox 10 which injects or deposits an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers between outer forming fabric 11 and inner forming fabric 12.
  • Inner forming fabric 12 serves to support and carry the newly-formed wet web 13 downstream in the process as the web is partially dewatered to a consistency of about 10 dry weight percent.
  • Additional dewatering of the wet web can be carried out, such as by vacuum suction 14, while the wet web is supported by the forming fabric.
  • the dryerside layer of the wet web which is the outer layer of the web that ultimately faces the dryer surface during drying, is in contact with the forming fabric 12.
  • the airside layer is the outer layer on the opposite side of the web and faces away from the dryer during drying.
  • the wet web is then transferred from the inner forming fabric to a transfer fabric 17 traveling at a slower speed than the forming fabric in order to impart increased stretch into the web. Transfer is preferably carried out with the assistance of a vacuum shoe 18 and a kiss transfer to avoid substantial compression of the wet web.
  • Optional vacuum box 19 can be used to further dewater the web and spray applicator 20 can be used to provide controlled addition of additives such as debonders.
  • the web is then transferred from the transfer fabric 17 to the throughdrying fabric 25 with the aid of a vacuum transfer roll 26.
  • the throughdrying fabric can be traveling at about the same speed or a different speed relative to the transfer fabric. If desired, the throughdrying fabric can be run at a slower speed to further enhance stretch. Transfer is preferably carried out with vacuum assistance to ensure deformation of the sheet to conform to the throughdrying fabric, thus yielding desired bulk and appearance.
  • Optional vacuum box 27 and spray applicator 28 can be used as described above.
  • the level of vacuum used for the web transfers can be from about 3 to about 15 inches of mercury (75 to 380 millimeters of mercury), preferably about 5 inches (125 millimeters) of mercury.
  • the vacuum shoe (negative pressure) can be supplemented or replaced by the use of positive pressure from the opposite side of the web to blow the web onto the next fabric in addition to or as a replacement for sucking it onto the next fabric with vacuum.
  • a vacuum roll or rolls can be used to replace the vacuum shoe(s).
  • the web While supported by the throughdrying fabric 25, the web is dried to a consistency of about 94 percent or greater by the throughdryers 30 and 31.
  • the dried basesheet 35 is transferred to carrier fabric 36 with the aid of vacuum roll 37 and transported to the reel 38 using carrier fabric 36 and an optional additional carrier fabric 39.
  • An optional pressurized turning roll 40 can be used to facilitate removal of the web from the carrier fabric 36.
  • Suitable carrier fabrics for this purpose are Albany International 84M or 94M and Asten 959 or 937.
  • Reel calender 45 or subsequent off-line calendering can be used to improve the smoothness and softness of the basesheet, if desired.
