Definitions

  • Two well known processes include wet pressing, in which the newly formed wet web is partially dewatered by compressing the web between a papermaking felt and a pressure roll, and throughdrying, in which the web is at least partially dried by passing hot air through the web.
  • the wet pressing process generally includes drying the wet pressed web on a Yankee dryer and creping.
  • the throughdrying process may or may not be include creping the dried web.
  • the fiber composition within the tissue web during its formation by using a layered headbox.
  • a layered headbox By layering the fibers in the web, such as predominantly positioning the shorter hardwood fibers in the outer layer(s) and the longer softwood fibers in the center layer(s), certain advantages in tissue properties can be achieved.
  • the short hardwood fibers such as eucalyptus fibers, are known to impart a softer feel to the tissue when placed in the outer layers, while the longer fibers provide the majority of the strength of the final tissue product.
  • the MD/CD stretch ratio of tissue sheets can be lowered by transforming a layered web of long and short fibers in which long fibers are formed into a continuous frame-like network which provides a resilient strength having both tensile strength and stretch. Comparing the long fiber structure of the tissue sheets of this invention with the sheet structure of conventionally formed tissue sheets is similar to comparing a fish net material with a cloth material having similar material mass and strength. The fish net structure will have much higher resilient stretch while the cloth material may have slightly higher tensile strength.
  • the invention resides in a layered tissue sheet containing long and short fibers, said sheet comprising at least one layer of predominantly long fibers arranged in a continuous frame-like network.
  • a layer is preferably positioned such that it is not an outwardly facing layer in the finished tissue product.
  • the relative amount of long fibers in the predominantly long fiber frame layer can be about 60 percent or greater, more specifically about 70 percent or greater, more specifically about 80 percent or greater, still more specifically about 90 percent or greater, and most specifically about 100 percent.
  • the open area within the frame, or open cell area will have relatively fewer long fibers in relation to the amount of long fibers in the frame area.
  • the relative amount of long fibers in the open cell area can be 60 percent or less, more specifically 50 percent or less, more specifically about 40 percent or less, and more specifically 30 percent or less.
  • the short fibers within the sheet are also preferably layered, but in a substantially uniform manner, thereby overlaying the frame- like strength network of the long fiber layer.
  • the relative amount of short fibers to the long fibers in the frame area can be about 50 percent or less, more specifically about 40 percent or less, and still more specifically about 30 percent or less.
  • the amount of short fibers relative to the amount of long fibers in the open area can be about 50 percent or greater, more specifically about 60 percent or greater, more specifically 70 percent or greater, still more specially about 80 percent or greater.
  • a specific open cell area can be about 1 mm or greater.
  • the tissue sheets of this invention can have a total stretch (MD stretch + CD stretch) of about 20% or greater, more specifically 22% or greater, and an MD/CD stretch ratio of about 2 or less, more specifically 2.0 or less, more specifically from 1.0 to 2.0, and still more specifically from about 1.5 to about 1.9.
  • the invention resides in a method of making a layered tissue sheet comprising: (a) depositing an aqueous suspension of papermaking fibers on a forming fabric to form a layered paper web; (b) rush transferring the layered web to a transfer fabric traveling at a speed which is less than the speed of the forming fabric; (c) transferring the layered web, while at a consistency of about 30 percent or less, to a throughdrying fabric having a web-contacting surface comprising a nonwoven membrane, preferably a bi-level or other multi-level membrane, said membrane having a pattern of high ridges and low ridges which surround openings through which water can be removed from the web; and (d) throughdrying the web.
  • the web is throughdried to final dryness without any substantial compression of the web, thereby resulting in a tissue sheet having substantially uniform density.
  • a relatively wet web (about 30 percent consistency or less) is transferred to a multilevel membrane through which additional water is removed from the web, either by throughdrying or non-compressive dewatering such as high vacuum suction.
  • Each of the multiple levels is a plane defined by the tops of ridges which have the same height above the base of the membrane. Because the web is relatively wet, the fibers within the web are still relatively mobile. Consequently, when the web is transferred to the multi-level membrane having a pattern of high and low ridges, the long and short fibers rearrange themselves differently when contacting the tops of the various ridges.
  • the long fibers tend to become draped over the tops of the ridges
  • the short fibers pass through and become retained at the base of the membrane, such as by contact with a supporting woven fabric.
  • the resulting sheet structure due to the multiple levels created by the different ridge heights and the reorientation of the long fibers, exhibits unique properties in the areas of stretch, strength and limpness.
  • the particular multilevel ridge pattern presented by the multi-level membrane can vary greatly. When viewed from the top (plan view), a regular pattern of holes is presented, through which the water in the web is removed.
  • the shape of the holes can round, triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, hexagonal, etc. or irregular.

Abstract

On utilise une membrane non tissée à plusieurs niveaux comme surface de contact de la nappe d'une toile d'essorage de machine à papier. Un voile multicouche contenant une couche de fibres longues, notamment une couche de fibres de résineux, est transféré sur la toile d'essorage alors que la teneur en eau de la nappe est encore relativement élevée (30% environ au moins). Avec une telle teneur en eau, les fibres de la nappe sont encore suffisamment mobiles pour que les fibres longues se réorganisent de façon à former un réseau structurant. La ouate de cellulose en feuille essorée ainsi obtenue présente une résistance mécanique accrue et une plus grande résistance à l'étirement.
