Abstract:

Easy starting rolls of perforated tissue product which have a reduced tendency to ply separate are formed with an adhesively secured doubled over tail tab folded against the roll. The strength and location of the bonds are controlled by controlling the penetration of the adhesive into the tissue. The dry tensile strength of the projecting folded over tail tab exceeds 400 g/in and the caliper thereof exceeds one mil The adhesive bonds are spaced away from lines of perforation joining sheets in the initial sheets of the roll.

International Classification:

D21F013/00

US Classification:

162/198000, 162/147000, 162/005000

Abstract:

This invention relates to a rapid process for determining groundwood pulp derived from waste paper. The process comprises (a) preparing a pulp from recycle furnish to form secondary papermaking fiber; and (b) preparing an absorbent sheet from said secondary papermaking fiber, characterizing the initial color of the absorbent sheet and staining the absorbent sheet with a phloroglucinol stain, characterizing the color of the absorbent sheet and comparing the color of the stained sheet with the initial color and selecting a target paper product based on the comparison. The process also comprises determining CIE, L*, a*, b* and brightness values. The delta L*, a*, b* and brightness values are used to produce products having commercially acceptable properties.

Abstract:

A method of processing papermaking fiber includes characterizing the initial color of the pulp and the color of the pulp after treatment with a phloroglucinol stain. The color response of the pulp to the stain has been found to be a better indicator of processing needs for secondary pulps in particular and in any event is selective for untreated groundwood as opposed to conventional groundwood identification methods. The color difference is used to target a suitable product for the pulp, to aid in bleaching/deinking strategy or to enable optimization of fiber blending for particular products. In a preferred embodiment the process includes determining changes in CIE L*, a*, b* and brightness values before and after staining of the pulp.
