Abstract
A method for forming a tissue product that is soft and produces relatively low levels of slough is provided. The method includes providing a liquid furnish of cellulosic fibers and forming a multi-layered wet web therefrom. The web is dried (e.g., through-dried) to a solids consistency of 90% or greater. A latex having a glass transition temperature less than about 30° C. is applied to the dried web (e.g., foamed, printed, sprayed, etc.) such that the latex comprises less than about 3% by weight of the dry weight of the web. The latex remains substantially uncured after being applied to the dried web.
