An adhesive composition and improved rolled product employing an adhesive composition is disclosed. Synthetic clays in combination with water soluble and dispersible thickeners may be useful for controlling the viscosity of adhesive formulations used in rolled paper product manufacture. The compositions may provide thixotropic properties, which are capable of shearing to a thin and sprayable viscosity, and then rapid thickening upon a surface of a rolled product. The rolled products to which the compositions may be employed may include tissues, towels, and the like. The compositions may be employed as tail sealing compositions adapted for securing the tail of a rolled web of product upon the roll, to avoid unraveling or undesirable unwinding of the roll before the product is used for its intended purpose upon manufacture.
A rolled sheet product, comprising:
A sealing composition adapted for securing the end of a rolled web product, the composition comprising in part a synthetic mineral that is formed by combining:
A tail sealing composition adapted for securing the tail of a rolled web product, the composition comprising, in part, a colloidal dispersion that is capable of both:
A tail sealing composition adapted for securing the tail of a rolled web product, the composition comprising in part a silicate.
An additive formulated for introduction into an aqueous adhesive composition, the adhesive composition being adapted for securing the end of a web in a rolled web product, wherein the additive comprises, in solution, a synthetic crystallized silicate structure.
An adhesive composition adapted for securing together paper sheets in a paper manufacturing process, wherein the composition comprises a colloid.
A rolled substrate material product comprising a web of substrate material rolled onto a cylindrical core, the tail of said rolled substrate material being releasably bonded to the roll by a non-continuous layer of an adhesive composition, the composition comprising a colloid.
