Tissue laminates having adhesively joined tissue laminae

Abstract

Disclosed is a dual laminae tissue laminate having the laminae adhesively joined. The laminae are joined by a water dispersible, and preferably water soluble, hot melt adhesive. The adhesive is applied to one of the laminae in a longitudinally oriented stripe. The stripe is deposited either ina spiral pattern or, preferably, in a melt blown pattern. This stripe provides the advantage that softness is not compromised and that the tissue laminate may be easily disposed, without concern that the adhesive, or the laminate, will not break down in the presence of water.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
