Abstract
The present invention provides a durable tissue product produced from a tissue web that has been manufactured by applying a binder, such as by printing, to one side of the web and then contacting the binder applied side to a rotating dryer and creping the web therefrom. The side of the web opposite of the binder applied side is generally not treated with a binder, or the like, and is not subjected to creping. Further, the opposite side is generally formed from a layer of short, low coarseness cellulosic fibers, such as hardwood kraft fibers, and may be substantially free from long cellulosic fibers, such as softwood fibers. Despite forming the untreated surface from short fibers, the tissue product has good durability, such as a slough from about 6.0 to about 9.0 mg.
