Absorbent sheet tail-sealed with nanofibrillated cellulose-containing tail-seal adhesives

A method of tail-sealing a roll of absorbent sheet with a nanofibrillated cellulose (“NFC”)-containing tail-seal adhesive comprising:

• (a) providing a roll of absorbent cellulosic sheet;
• (b) applying an aqueous NFC-containing tail-seal adhesive to a tail of the roll of absorbent cellulosic sheet such that the tail:
• seal adhesive is interposed between the tail and an underlying convolution of the roll;
• wherein said aqueous NFC-containing tail-seal adhesive comprises NFC and one or more additional components selected from the group consisting of components (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) wherein (i) is a water-soluble cellulose derivative;
• (ii) is a water soluble polyol;
• (iii) is a viscosity modifier other than a water soluble cellulose derivative effective to reduce the viscosity of an aqueous composition including NFC;
• (iv) is PVOH;
• and (v) is PVOH and a viscosity modifier, said viscosity modifier being effective to reduce the viscosity of an aqueous composition including NFC;
• said tail-seal adhesive optionally including (vi) a surface tension modifier other than PVOH;
• and
• (c) adhering the tail to the underlying convolution of the roll to form a tail-seal.
