A tissue product containing a multi-layered paper web that has at least one outer
layer formed from a blend of pulp fibers and synthetic fibers is provided. A polymer
latex is also applied to the outer layer of the tissue product. It is believed
that the polymer latex and synthetic fibers can fuse together to have a synergistic
effect on the strength of the tissue product. In addition, the resulting tissue
product can be soft and produce low levels of lint and slough.
