PROCESS OF MAKING WET-MICROCONTRACTED PAPER

摘要

A process of making a wet-microcontracted fibrous structure product comprising the steps of: forming an embryonic web and forwarding the web at a first velocity on a carrier fabric to a transfer zone having a transfer/imprinting fabric; non-compressively removing water from the web; transferring the web to the transfer/imprinting fabric in the transfer zone without precipitating substantial densification of the web; forwarding, at a second velocity, the transfer/imprinting fabric along a looped path in contacting relation with a transfer head disposed at the transfer zone, the second velocity being from about 5% to about 40% slower than the first velocity; adhesively securing the web to a drying cylinder having a third velocity; drying the web without overall mechanical compaction of the web; creping the web from the drying cylinder with a doctor blade, the doctor blade having an impact angle of from about 90 degrees to about 130 degrees; and reeling the web at a forth velocity that is faster than the third velocity of the drying cylinder.
