METHOD FOR IMPROVEMED APERTURE CLARITY IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL NONWOVEN FABRICS AND THE PRODUCTS THEREOF

摘要

The present invention is directed a nonwoven fabric which is imparted with a three-dimensional image or pattern, and apertures essentially devoid of fiber, during the fabrication stage. The nonwoven fabric exhibits a fibrous extension out of the plane of the material, while apertures are present that have a pronounced uniformity and a significant reduction in fibrous occlusion.
