Female component for touch and close fastener and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

A simple and less expensive nonwoven female component (11) for a mechanical refastenable fastening device ("touch and close fastener") can be conveniently used in mostly disposable applications such as disposable diapers, disposable operating gowns, disposable underwear and other clothing. The nonwoven fabric female component (11) includes projecting loops (15) formed on one of the superficial sides of the nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric comprises a hydroentangled web (13), and the loops are projectingly formed by needle punching on or at one of the superficial sides of the hydroentangled web (13).
