Description

BACKGROUND

[0001] This disclosure relates to tissue products comprising thermoplastic resin pretreated pulp fibers.

[0002] Cellulosic fibers made from wood pulp are used in a variety of tissue products, for example, facial tissue, bath tissue, paper towels, dinner napkins, wipes, and the like. It is known in the art to prepare such tissue products comprising natural wood pulp fibers, synthetic polymeric fibers, and combinations of natural wood pulp fibers and synthetic polymeric fibers to impart high dry and wet strength characteristics to the article.

[0003] Fibrous tissue webs having high strength and stretch are useful for many applications as they provide the user security that the tissue product will remain intact during use. Dry strength additives may be used such as starches or polyarcylamides. Unfortunately, use of these additives increase the strength of fibrous tissue webs but do not increase the stretch of the tissue product.

[0004] It is known that increased tensile stre...
