Embodiment 1

[0086] The base sheet (also referred to herein as the first single-ply tissue web) was made using a through-air drying papermaking process commonly referred to as "uncreped through-air drying" (" UCTAD"), and is generally described in U.S. Patent No. 5,607,551, the contents of which are incorporated herein in a manner consistent with the present invention. A substrate was prepared with a target anhydrous dry basis weight of about 45 grams per square meter (gsm).

[0087] In all cases, substrates were prepared from furnishes comprising Northern Softwood Kraft (NSWK) and Southern Softwood Kraft (SSWK) using a stratified headbox fed by three hoppers such that the paper The web has three layers (two outer layers and one middle layer). The first outer layer, corresponding to the surface of the paper web not in contact with the papermaker's fabric during manufacture, comprised NSWK and was 30% by weight of the total web. The middle layer contained SSWK and was 40% of the total wei...

Embodiment 2

[0097] Substrates with a target basis weight of 39 gsm were prepared using the UCTAD process approximately as described in Example 1, except that a t1207-11 transfer fabric (commercially available from Voith Fabrics, Appleton, WI) and a t2301-11 air-through Drying fabrics (commercially available from Voith Fabrics, Appleton, WI) and wet webs were subjected to 20% haste transfer from the transfer fabric to the through-air drying fabric. Strength was controlled via addition of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), Kymene and / or by refining NSWK ingredients as shown in Table 3 below.

[0099]

[0100] After fabrication, the substrate is initially wound as a parent roll, which is then unrolled on a lab converting line. The sheet is initially split by hand and then passed by hand through the converting apparatus. Once split and passed, the converting line was run at a speed of 100 meters per minute (mpm) to produce a roll of two-ply tissue paper product with a diamet...

Embodiment 3

[0105] The substrate for this example was made as in Example 1, but with 20% hasty transfer to the through-air drying fabric, and had a target basis weight of about 60 gsm. Strength was controlled via the addition of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), Kymene and / or by refining the NSWK furnish, as shown in Table 5 below.

[0106] table 5

[0107]

[0108] After fabrication, the substrate is initially wound as a parent roll, which is then unrolled on a lab converting line. The sheet is initially split by hand and then passed by hand through the converting apparatus. Once split and passed, the converting line was run at a speed of 100 mpm to produce a roll of two-ply tissue product in rolls with a diameter of 114 mm, a sheet count of 77, and a sheet length of 152 mm. The physical properties of the first single-ply web and the resulting two-ply tissue product are summarized in Table 6 below.

Abstract

In general, the present invention is directed to a process for producing multi-ply tissue products from a single ply tissue web and the resulting multi-ply products, which have good softness and strength characteristics. The process of the present invention generally involves producing a first single ply tissue web and then splitting the web into two separate single ply tissue webs that can be converted into a multi-ply web. In certain preferred embodiments the single ply web may be manufactured such that when it is split into two separate webs the two webs are substantially identical.

Description

Background technique [0001] Production of tissue paper products typically begins with the production of a tissue substrate from papermaking fibers using any of the well-known manufacturing processes, such as the conventional wet press (CWP) manufacturing process, creping through-air drying (CTAD) , Uncrepe Through Air Drying (UCTAD) and Advanced Tissue Molding System (ATMOS). For example, a CWP manufacturing process includes the steps of dispersing a dilute slurry of papermaking fibers onto a forming fabric to form a wet tissue web, pressing and dewatering the wet tissue web, adhering the dewatered tissue web to a rotating The heated cylinders on which the paper is dried are then creped from the cylinders using creping blades. [0002] Once the tissue base sheet is formed, it is processed through one or more converting operations to form the finished tissue paper. In the converting process, a multi-ply tissue paper product is formed by combining several different substrate s...
