Partitionable paper product
The present disclosure is directed to a paper towel product that will capably separate from the paper towel roll as a full sheet, a half sheet or a quarter sheet. A method of making a paper towel with machine direction perforations is also disclosed.
1. A partitionable folded napkin product comprising:
a base sheet having a basis weight of at least about 31 g/sq. meter;
wherein the napkin product comprises at least one fold in the machine direction; and
wherein the napkin product comprises at least one perforation line in the machine direction, MD;
wherein a ratio of a CD tensile strength of the paper to the tensile strength of a MD perforation line is from about 30% to about 70%; and
wherein at least one perforation line in the machine direction and the at least one fold in the machine direction are coextensive.
2. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , further comprising at least one fold in the cross machine direction.
3. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the folded napkin product comprises a machine direction perforation line that divides the product in half.
4. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the folded napkin product has a perforation tensile of at least about 550 g/3 inches.
5. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the napkin product is a single ply product.
6. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the napkin product is a multi-ply product.
7. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the SAT absorbent capacity is at least about 300 grams/sq. meter.
8. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the MD perforation line comprises a cut length of at least about 2.0 mm.
9. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the MD perforation line comprises a bond length of at least about 0.5 mm.
10. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the cuts make up at least about 50% of the length of the perforation line.
11. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the MD perforation line bisects the paper towel into two approximately equal pieces.
12. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , comprising
a base sheet having a basis weight of at least about 35 g/sq. meter;
wherein the napkin product comprises at least one fold in the machine direction, and at least one fold in the cross-machine direction;
wherein the napkin product comprises at least one perforation line in the machine direction having a cut length of at least about 2 mm and a bond length of at least about 0.5 mm; and
wherein the ratio of the tensile strength of the MD perforation line to the CD tensile strength of the paper is from about 30% to about 70%.
13. The folded napkin product of claim 1 , wherein the product is embossed.
