Abstract
Disclosed are single ply creped webs and products made therewith. The webs and products are generally durable, flexible In and highly dispersible. For example, the creped single ply tissue products have a Slosh time less than 1 minute, and more preferably less than about 30 seconds, and a wet cross-machine direction (CD) tensile strength greater than about 100 g/3″. The foregoing properties are achieved even in those instances where the products comprise a latex binder disposed on an outer surface. For example, the tissue products may be produced by a print crepe process that disposes a non-crosslinked latex binder on at least one of the product's outer surfaces.
Claims24
A durable and dispersible rolled tissue product comprising a creped single ply tissue web spirally wound about a core, the product having a geometric mean tensile strength (GMT) greater than about 700 g/3″, a cross-machine direction (CD) wet tensile strength greater than about 100 g/3″ and a Slosh time less than about 30 seconds.
A rolled tissue product comprising a spirally wound creped single ply tissue web having a first outer surface and a non-crosslinked latex polymer disposed thereon, the product having a basis weight from 45 to 55 gsm, a GMT from 700 to 1,000 g/3″ and a Slosh time less than about 30 seconds.
A creped tissue product comprising a creped single ply tissue web having a first and a second outer surface, a creping composition consisting essentially of a non-crosslinked vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer and optionally an anti-blocking agent disposed on the first or the second outer surface, wherein the product has a GMT from 700 to 1,000 g/3″ and a Slosh time less than about 30 seconds.
