Estimating the term…
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 multiple tissue plies, such as two or more plies, that have been prepared by through-air drying and more preferably by through-air drying without creping. Moreover, the plies may be produced in a through-air drying process that utilizes 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 multi-ply tissue web spirally wound about a core, the multi-ply web having a cross-machine direction (CD) tensile of about 2,500 g/3″ or greater and a CD Stretch of about 13.0 percent or greater.
A rolled tissue product comprising a spirally wound through-air dried multi-ply tissue web, the tissue web having a GMT from about 2,500 to about 3,500 g/3″ and CD Stretch of about 13.0 percent or greater.
