An absorbent material (20, 300, 400, 520) is provided with improved characteristics. A process is provided for making the absorbent material. A web is formed with at least one layer of absorbent material, and it may include a mixture of cellulosic fibers (32, 532) and superabsorbent material (40, 540). The moisture content of the web is increased so as to increase the web density. Then, the web is compacted at an elevated temperature to further increase the web density and preferably to also effect hydrogen bonding within the web. In one embodiment a tissue layer (22, 522) is provided, is wetted with water, and is bonded to the layer of absorbent material. |
