ABSORBENT STRUCTURE HAVING IMPROVED LIQUID PERMEABILITY

摘要

Disclosed is an absorbent structure containing hydrogel-forming polymeric material, wettable staple fiber, and wettable binder fiber. The absorbent structure exhibits improved z-direction permeability of a liquid as compared to an otherwise essentially identical absorbent structure which does not comprise a wettable binder fiber. Also disclosed is an disposable absorbent product containing such an absorbent structure.
