Embossed multi-ply fibrous structure product and process for making same
Multi-ply fibrous structure products, more specifically embossed multi-ply fibrous structure products and methods for making same are provided.
1. An embossed multi-ply fibrous structure product comprising and x-plane and a y-direction, two or more plies of fibrous structure bonded together along adjacent surfaces of the two or more plies by an adhesive to form a bond area, wherein the bond area is less than about 30% of the bonded adjacent surfaces, wherein the product comprises two faces, wherein one face comprises non-adhesively bonded embossed sites and the other face comprises adhesively bonded non-embossed sites, wherein the embossment sites are non-densified and wherein the non-embossed sites are densified wherein the density of the densified non-embossed sites is greater than the density of the non-densified embossed sites, and the embossed sites extend in the y-direction from the x-plane of the embossed multi-ply fibrous structure product wherein the fibrous structure product exhibits an embossment height of at least about 1000 μm, and wherein the embossed multi-ply fibrous structure product, when in roll form, exhibits an average effective caliper that is greater than the average sheet caliper of an identical multi-ply fibrous structure in its non-embossed form.
2. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the two or more plies of fibrous structure are bonded together at a plybond strength of at least about 4 g/in.
3. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure product exhibits a wet burst of at least about 305 g.
4. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure product exhibits a sheet caliper of at least about 40 mils.
5. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure product exhibits a sheet caliper to effective caliper ratio of greater than 1.1.
6. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure product exhibits a cross machine direction stretch at peak load of greater than 8%.
7. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure product is in roll form.
8. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein the adhesive is present on the adjacent surfaces in the form of separate, discrete dots and/or separate, discrete stripes.
9. The fibrous structure product according to claim 1 wherein at least one of the two or more plies of fibrous structure comprises a fibrous structure selected from the group consisting of: through-air-dried fibrous structure plies, differential density fibrous structure plies, wet laid fibrous structure plies, air laid fibrous structure plies, conventional fibrous structure plies and mixtures thereof.
