Dispersible tissue laminate

A dispersible tissue laminate comprising:

• a. a first wet-laid tissue ply comprising at least about 80%, by weight dry weight of the tissue ply, Southern softwood kraft pulp and having a first geometric mean tensile strength (“GMT”);
• b. a second wet-laid tissue ply comprising at least about 80%, by weight dry weight of the tissue ply, Northern softwood kraft pulp and having a second GMT, wherein the first and the second GMT differ by at least about 30%;
• c. an adhesive;
• and
• d. a wetting composition at an add-on ranging from about 10 to about 600 percent, based upon the weight of the dry tissue laminate,
• wherein the first and second tissue plies are bonded together at discrete bond points.

A method of making a dispersible adhesively bonded wet tissue laminate:

• a. providing a first wet-laid tissue ply having a first and a second surface and a GMT of about 900 g/3″ or less;
• b. providing a second wet-laid tissue ply having a first and a second surface and a GMT of about 1,200 g/3″ or greater;
• c. applying an adhesive to the first surface of the first wet-laid tissue ply;
• d. bringing the first surface of the first wet-laid tissue ply into facing relation with the first surface of the second wet-laid tissue ply;
• e. passing the first and second wet-laid tissue plies through a nip to form an adhesively bonded tissue laminate;
• and
• f. applying a wetting composition wetting composition to the adhesively bonded tissue laminate, wherein the add-on of the wetting composition ranges from about 10 to about 600 percent, based upon the weight of the dry tissue laminate.
