Abstract
The invention provides tissue products comprisingfibers and methods of producing the same. Preferably thefibers are high yieldpulp fibers, which have demonstrated the ability to replace a substantial portion of the long fiber fraction of the furnish without negatively effecting important tissue product properties such as stiffness, CD Durability and bulk. Thus, the tissue product may comprise greater than about 10 weight percentfiber and more preferably greater than about 25 weight percent. Accordingly, in certain embodiments the present disclosure provides a three-layered through-air dried tissue product comprising high-yieldfibers from the leaves ofHardwood Kraft (EHWK) and Northern Softwood Kraft (NSWK), wherein the high-yieldfibers comprise 10.0 percent by weight of the tissue product, the product having a CD durability greater than about 18 and sheet bulk greater than about 10 cc/g.
