Hygienic paper

Abstract

The invention relates to hygienic paper in web form for moist applications that preferably consists of mutually contiguous sheets that are connected to one another via a tear-off perforation, wherein the hygienic paper consists of a cellulose mass with embedded reinforcement fibers and the reinforcement fibers have an increased tear strength on an initial moistening and at least partly lose their tear strength after an extended moistening, whereby the sheets disintegrate into smaller pieces over the course of the time after the moistening, at the latest in the sewer system.The invention further relates to hygienic paper comprising individual sheets, wherein the sheets are each provided with at least one disintegration perforation that provides a disintegration of the sheets into smaller pieces over the course of the time after a moistening, at the latest in a sewer system.
