Patent ID: 8652610

Claim:
A tissue product comprising: a fibrous web having a first side and a second side, the fibrous web comprising pulp fibers; and an additive composition present on the first side of the fibrous web as a discontinuous but interconnected film, wherein said additive composition is used as a means for a creping process and enhances the aesthetics of the fibrous web, said aesthetics selected from improved perceived softness, improved feel, improved absorbency, improved tensile strength, improved absorbency and combinations thereof; wherein the additive composition comprises a water-soluble film forming component selected from polyvinyl alcohol, poly(ethylene oxide), poly(acrylic acid) and salts thereof, poly(acrylic acid) copolymers, poly(acrylate esters), pullulan, and pectin, wherein said water-soluble film forming component is present in the additive composition in an amount of 20-80 wt %; a first water-soluble modifier component selected from poly(ethylene oxide), poly(ethylene glycol), and ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers, said first water-soluble modifier component being present in the additive composition in an amount of 1-70 wt %; an additional water-soluble modifier component selected from sorbitol, sucrose, glycerol, glycerol esters, and propylene glycol; and a hydrophobic polymer component comprising a rubbery polymer latex component, said hydrophobic polymer being present in the additive composition in an amount of 10-60 wt %; and wherein said additive composition is capable of being completely re-dispersible in water.
