摘要 |
Disclosed is a unitary or single-ply fibrous web having a laminate-like structure which consists of a soft, absorbent central core region of relatively low fiber concentration sandwiched between two strong, abrasion-resistant surface regions of higher fiber concentration. The surface regions have bonding material, preferably elastomeric, disposed within to provide strength to the web. The more concentrated fibers in the surface region provide better capillary action to draw moisture into the web. The relatively low fiber concentration within the central core region provides space to increase the amount of moisture absorbable by the web. Within the central core region are networks of fibers connecting the two surface regions together generally without the use of bonding material extending entirely through the web. The bonding material in at least one surface region is disposed in a fine, spaced-apart pattern, and the bonded portions in that surface region are finely creped to soften them. |
