Claims17
A multi-ply toilet tissue comprising a monocomponent fibrous element produced from an aqueous polymer melt composition void of thermoplastic water-insoluble polymers and comprising a blend comprising a monocomponent non-thermoplastic fibrous element-forming polymer, water, and a branched fast wetting surfactant selected from the group consisting of:
- sulfosuccinate surfactants, alcohol sulfate surfactants derived from branched alcohols, paraffin sulfonates, and mixtures thereof wherein the branched fast wetting surfactant facilitates removal of water from the monocomponent fibrous element during formation from the aqueous polymer melt composition, wherein the fibrous element exhibits greater than 50% fast wetting surfactant recovery after extraction with water according to the Determination of Total Free Surfactant in Fibrous Structure Using Water Extraction/HPLC Test Method.
