A SPUNLACE MATERIAL WITH HIGH BULK AND HIGH ABSORPTION CAPACITY AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A MATERIAL

摘要

Nonwoven material produced by hydro-entanglement of a wet- or foam-formed fibre web, which material contains a certain proportion of pulp fibres of mechanical, thermomechanical, chemical-mechanical or chemical-thermomechanical type and/or chemical pulp fibres that have been chemically stiffened or cross-linked in such a way that the ability of the fibres to form hydrogen bonds when wet has been substantially reduced. These fibres have preferably been mixed with other fibres, such as chemical pulp fibres, vegetable fibres, synthetic fibres or regenerated cellulosic fibres in a wet- or foam-formed fibre web which has been entangled with sufficient energy to produce a dense, absorbent material.
