Abstract
The single ply tissue products have been prepared by a creping process, particularly a print creping process adapted to dispose a non-crosslinked latex polymer on at least one of the outer surfaces of the tissue product. The creped single ply tissue products generally have a low degree of stiffness, such as a Stiffness Index less than about 8.00, and are highly durable, such as a Durability Index greater than about 12.0. In other instances, the tissue products may have very low levels of lint or dust, such as a Slough less than about 4.00 mg, even at basis weights from about 45 to about 55 grams per square meter (gsm) and tensile strengths from 600 to 1,200 g/3″.
Claims16
A rolled tissue product comprising a spirally wound creped, single ply tissue web, the product having a first and a second outer surface and a non-crosslinked latex polymer disposed on either the first or the second outer surface, the product having a basis weight from 45 to 55 grams per square meter (gsm), a geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) from 600 to 1,000 g/3″, a Durability Index greater than about 12.0, and geometric mean slope (GM Slope) from 4.00 to 5.00 kg.
