The adhesive composition comprising emulsion polymers and microspheres and articles made therefrom are provided. The adhesive is particularly suitable for packages for consumer products that provide sufficient strength and thermal insulation while reducing the overall basis weight of the substrates.

A multi-ply flushable wipe includes a ply having first and second exterior layers and a middle layer disposed therebetween. Each of the exterior layers includes at least 50% by weight natural fibers. When foam-formed, the middle layer includes at least 25% by weight natural fibers. In embodiments, the middle layer may include at least 75% by weight natural fibers. The middle layer also includes synthetic fibers that have a length within the range of 1 mm and 20 mm. The wipe may have a length weight weighted average fiber length of less than 4 mm and a wet CD strength of greater than 20 N/m. Each ply of the wipe may be formed by wetlaying the first and second exterior layers and a foam formed middle layer to form a web, imprinting the web with a structured fabric, and drying the web. The plies are then attached using a binder.

A wrapper (50) used in aerosol generating articles (10). The paper wrapper has a low elongation to break ratio and is utilized with an aerosol generating substrate (20). The aerosol generating article includes the aerosol generating substrate comprising nicotine and at least 10% aerosol former comprising glycerine. The wrapper is disposed about and in contact with the aerosol generating substrate. The wrapper comprises a paper layer having an elongation at break ratio cross direction/machine direction (CD/MD) of 2.5
