LATEX BONDED ACQUISITION LAYER HAVING PRESSURE INSENSITIVE LIQUID HANDLING PROPERTIES

摘要

The present invention relates to absorbent articles, such as diapers and sanitary napkins, and acquisition layers useful for such articles. More specifically, the invention relates to an acquisition layer for an absorbent article, the liquid acquisition layer com-prising a multitude of fibers and a binder, the liquid acquisition layer having a caliper which decreases in response to external pressure and increases upon removal of said external pressure. In accordance with the present invention the increase in caliper is measured by the recovery value as defined herein and the liquid acquisition layer recov-ery value at 45 C is at least 65 % of the recovery value at 20 C.
