FLUID PERMEABLE STRUCTURED FIBROUS WEB

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to a disposable absorbent article comprising a fluid permeable structured fibrous web, the fibrous web comprising thermally stable, fibers that are thermally bonded together using heat producing a base substrate that is thermally stable. The base substrate is textured via mechanical treatment producing a structured fibrous web having an aged caliper of less than 1.5 mm, a vertical wicking height of at least 5 mm, a permeability of at least 10,000 cm2/(Pa-s) and a specific volume of at least 5 cm3/g. The structured fibrous web provides optimal fluid wicking and the fluid acquisition capabilities and is directed toward fluid management applications.
