Textile fibre reinforced absorbent material

摘要

An absorbent material comprising a mat of dry-formed cellulose fibers integrated with an air-laid non-woven gauze of reinforcing textile fibers. A method of producing this material by air-laying textile fibers on a wire to form a non-woven gauze, whereafter a mat of cellulose fibers is formed on the textile fiber non-woven gauze. The use of the material as an absorbent structure in an absorbent product. A method of producing an absorbent structure comprised of cellulose fibers and reinforcing textile fibers in which a mat of dry-formed cellulose fibers integrated with an air-laid non-woven gauze of reinforcing fibers is defined and mat-formed. An absorbent structure obtained by this method.
