Metso Launches Ntt, A New Textured Tissue Paper Concept

摘要

Based on the results of an extensive R&D project, Metso Paper is launching an innovative process, named Advantage NTT, for making a new category of tissue, the textured tissue. The new NTT concept combines high energy efficiency and significantly improved bulk compared to conventional dry crepe, with unique product qualities. The new, patented Advantage NTT process is based on proven machine technology. It will give tissue makers new tools to develop unique grades to meet the increasing market demands for higher quality bath and facial tissue, handkerchiefs and kitchen towels. The process opens up a new category, textured tissue, which produces a product with high silky softness and bulk. NTT textured tissue enables fiber savings due to the 50-80% in- crease in bulk as compared to the conventional process. At the same time, the energy input per roll produced can be decreased by up to 20 %, depending on the product made, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of NTT tissue products.
