| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a surface material (5) for absorbent articles, wherein the surface material includes heat-shrunk, spiralled elastic thermoplastic multicomponent fibres (1), preferably bicomponent fibres (1). The components (2, 3) in the multicomponent fibres have mutually different shrinkage properties and lie in mutually juxtaposed relationship. The material is comprised of hydrophobic fibres and has an open and airy structure which allows liquid to quickly pass therethrough and be transported to an absorbent layer or sheet (7) in the absorbent article. The material has a smooth and soft surface, which enables it to be used in the sheet (5) that shall lie proximal to the wearer in use. The invention also relates to an absorbent article which includes the surface material (5), and also to the use of this material as both an acquisition/transportation sheet and a surface sheet in an absorbent article. |
