Abstract
In general, the present disclosure is directed to creped tissue webs, and products produced therefrom. The creped webs and products are strong, soft, and have improved strike-through and absorbency properties. The improvement in both strike-through and absorbency is achieved in-part by increasing the basis weight of the web, while at the same time reducing the creping composition add-on levels.
Claims16
A non-post treated creped tissue product comprising two or more tissue webs, wherein the basis weight of each web is from about 16.5 to 20 gsm and the product has a strike-through greater than about 2 seconds and an absorbent capacity greater than about 27 grams, wherein the creped tissue product has not been post-treated with an oil, a wax, a silicone.
A non-post treated multi-ply tissue product comprising two multi-layered creped tissue webs, the tissue webs having three superposed layers, an inner layer consisting essentially of softwood fibers and two outer layers consisting essentially of hardwood fibers, the inner layer being located between the two outer layers, wherein the product has a basis weight from about 33to about 42 gsm, a strike-through from about 5 to about 10 seconds and an absorbent capacity greater than about 27 grams and has not been post-treated with an oil, a wax, a silicone.
A non-post treated tissue product comprising at least two wet-pressed creped tissue webs, each web having a first side and a second side and a creping composition comprising a non-fibrous olefin polymer disposed on at least the first side, wherein each tissue web has a basis weight from about 16.5 to 20 gsm and the product has a strike-through greater than about 2 seconds and an absorbent capacity greater than about 27 grams and has not been post-treated with an oil, a wax, or a silicone.
