Patent ID: 6893537

Claim:
A soft tissue product that has a relatively low level of lint and slough, said tissue product comprising: at least one paper web formed from a cellulosic fibrous material; and a flexible binder applied to said paper web, said flexible binder being a copolymer formed from at least the following monomeric constituents: a) an ethylenically unsaturated monomeric constituent containing one or more hydrophobic ethylenically unsaturated monomers having the following formula: wherein, R 11 , R 12 , and R 13 are the same or different, and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a C 1 -C 4 alkyl group; and R 14 is a hydrophobic group, wherein said one or more hydrophobic ethylenically unsaturated monomers form greater than about 15% by weight of the total monomer weight of said copolymer; and b) an unsaturated polysiloxane monomeric constituent containing one or more unsaturated polysiloxane monomers, wherein said unsaturated polysiloxane monomeric constituent contains at least one unsaturated polysiloxane monomer having the following formula: wherein, R 1 is an ethylenically unsaturated group that has free radical polymerizability; and R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 are the same or different, and are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, an aryl group, an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl or aryl group, an ethoxy group, and a propoxy group; m is an integer from 4 to 15,000; and n is an integer from 0 to 15,000.
