Abstract
Creped multi-ply creped tissue products, such as multi-ply creped wet-pressed tissue products, having substantially higher per-ply basis weights, such as about 14.0 grams per square meter or greater are disclosed. Despite having relatively high per-ply basis weights, the products are generally soft and flexible, such as having a softness value (measured as TS7) less than about 10.0 and a Stiffness Index less than about 20.0. While being soft and flexible, the tissue products are durable enough to withstand use, such as having a geometric mean tensile (GMT) greater than about 1,000 g/3″.
Claims13
A creped wet pressed tissue product having a first out surface and a second outer surface, the product comprising a first creped wet pressed tissue ply, a second creped wet pressed tissue ply and a third creped wet pressed tissue, a release agent and and adhesive disposed on the first outer surface and a softening composition disposed on the first outer surface, wherein the product has a basis weight from 42.0 to 45.0 grams per square meter (gsm), a geometric mean tensile (GMT) from 1,000 to 1,200 g/3″ and a TS7 value from 8.0 to 10.0.
