<p>A multi-layer material for use in incontinence products comprises a base layer comprising a needled felt containing not less than 50 % by weight polyester fibre, wherein the surface regions of the felt are denser than the central region thereof, which remains substantially unneedled. In addition, a second, multi-ply, layer is provided by a unitary fabric comprising two outer plies of knitted polyester fibre fabric with a ply of monofilament polyester accommodated therebetween. In order to prevent strike-through, furthermore, a barrier layer, e.g. of a polyurethane coated fabric, is also provided, as is also a fourth, skin-contact, layer with a nap finished to provide a comfortable 'feel' to the product. Incontinence products made from this material exhibit good absorbency, little or no strike-through and a dry skin effect.</p> |
