THERMOFORMABLE BARRIER NONWOVEN LAMINATE

摘要

The present invention provides a barrier laminate (10) having a barrier layer (12) and a lofty crimped-fiber nonwoven web layer (14), which laminate provides a foam-like resiliency, cloth-like texture and liquid barrier property. The barrier layer of the laminate is selected from films, microfiber nonwoven webs and laminates thereof, and the crimped-fiber web layer, which contains a structural fiber component and a heat-activatable adhesive component, has substantially uniformly distributed interfiber bonds. Additionally provided are thermoformed articles (22) from the laminate and a thermoforming process for producing the articles.
