FLUID PERVIOUS, DISPERSIBLE, AND FLUSHABLE WEBS HAVING IMPROVED FUNCTIONAL SURFACE

摘要

The present invention provides a fluid pervious web which disperses into fragments which are readily flushable in a normal toilet. The web preferably comprises a wetlaid apertured tissue having a temporary wet strength resin incorporated therein. The web preferably further includes a plurality of individ ual fibrils on a body-facing surface thereof, so as to provide a clean and dry tacti le impression in use. The fibrils serve to separate the wearer's skin from the underlying tissue substrate in use. In a preferred embodiment, the web substrate is hydrophilic in nature while the fibrils themselves are hydrophobic in nature, so as to provide enhanced dryness at the uppermost' surface while promoting rapid acquisition properties.
