Provided are tissue webs, and products produced therefrom, that are generally durable, flexible and have improved cross-machine direction (CD) properties, such as CD tensile energy absorption (CD TEA), CD stretch and CD modulus. The inventive tissue products generally comprise a single tissue ply that has been prepared by through-air drying and more preferably by through-air drying without creping. Moreover, the products may be produced using a transfer fabric positioned between the forming fabric and the through-air drying fabric where the transfer fabric imparts the nascent web with a high degree of CD strain.
A rolled tissue product comprising a single ply tissue web spirally wound about a core, the single ply web having a cross-machine direction (CD) tensile greater than about 550 g/3″ and a CD Stretch greater than about 14.0 percent.
A rolled tissue product comprising a spirally wound uncreped and through-air dried single ply tissue web having a basis weight from 32 to 40 gsm, a GMT from 700 to 1,000 g/3″ and a CD Stretch of about 14.0 percent or greater.
A method of manufacturing a single ply tissue product comprising the steps of:
