ABSORBENT, NON-LINTING NONWOVEN WEB

摘要

The nonwoven web of the present invention is a layered structure that takes advantage of the beneficial properties of different types of fibers advantageously distributed in each layer. In particular, the present invention is a multi-layer airlaid nonwoven web suitable for use as a wet wipe, the web having a first fibrous outer layer comprising from about 50 % to about 100 % conjugate fiber, and from about 0 % to about 60 % cellulosic fibers, and a fibrous inner layer bonded at discrete bond sites to the first outer layer in a face to face relationship comprising from about 15 % to about 40 % conjugate fiber, and from about 50 % to about 90 % pulp fibers. A second fibrous outer layer, which can be the same composition as the first outer layer, is bonded at discrete bond sites to the inner layer in a face to face relationship. A method for forming the web of the present invention is also disclosed.
