Influence of Various Pulp Properties on the Adhesion Between Tissue Paper and Yankee Cylinder Surface

Abstract

The strength of the adhesion between the paper and the drying Yankee cylinder is of great importance with respect to the final properties of a tissue paper product. Therefore, the effects of a few potentially important pulp properties have been evaluated in laboratory experiments. Four highly different kraft pulps were used, and the adhesion strength was measured by means of the force required when scraping off a paper from a metal surface with a specifically designed knife mounted on a moving cart. The adhesion strength was observed to increase with increasing grammage and increasing degree of beating of the pulp. It was also found that pulps containing more fines, or with higher hemicellulose content, gave rise to higher adhesion strength.

Understanding the Effect of Machine Technology and Cellulosic Fibers on Tissue Properties – A Review

“…Refined pulps having higher hemicellulose and higher fines content will promote better adhesion. A tissue web having higher basis weight and higher moisture will also present better adhesion to the Yankee surface (Boudreau and Germgard 2014). Kraft pulps gives the best adhesion, followed by sulfite and mechanical pulps (Novotny 1988).…”

Influence of tissue paper converting conditions on finished product softness

“…Examples of tissue products include bathroom tissue, kitchen towels, industrial wipes, table napkins, facial tissue, and many others (Kimari 2000). Commonly, tissue is very well distinguished from other paper grades, due to its low grammage, typically lower than 25 g/m 2 according to Hollmark (1983), and because of its creped structure, yielding a rather distinctive surface (Hollmark 1983;Abbott and Schnabel 2000;Kimari 2000; Ramasubramanian and Shmagin 2000;Ho et al 2007;Gigac and Fišerová 2008;Ramasubramanian et al 2011;Raunio and Ritala 2012;Boudreau and Germgård 2014;Anukul et al 2015).…”

Performance and sustainability vs. the shelf price of tissue paper kitchen towels

“…During the creping process, the creping blade scrapes the tissue sheet of the Yankee dryer surface, resulting in a delaminated and stretchable tissue paper structure. (Nanko et al 2005;Raunio and Ritala 2012;Boudreau and Germgard 2014). Advanced technology also contributes to higher stretchability in tissue paper products because the inter-fiber bonding is not well developed.…”

“…The creping process is commonly used to enhance tissue paper properties. During the creping process, the creping blade scrapes the tissue sheet of the Yankee dryer surface, resulting in a delaminated tissue paper structure with higher bulk, softness, and absorbency (Nanko et al 2005;Raunio and Ritala 2012;Boudreau and Germgard 2014). Structured fabrics can be used to enhance tissue paper properties by imparting compressed and uncompressed areas in the tissue paper web.…”
