A method for manufacturing an absorbent structure in an absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, tampon, panty protector, incontinence guard, diaper, bed protector, wound or sore dressing, saliva absorbent and like articles uses a dry-formed web of material comprising cellulose fibres, eg. roll pulp, directly in the product without first defibrating the material and then forming a mat The material possesses good wicking properties and swelling properties, high surface dryness, in addition to cellulose fibres, the absorbent structure may also include superabsorbent material and/or binding fibres or a binding agent, reinforcing fibres or a reinforcing layer. The pulp mat is very thin, therewith obviating the need to compress the mat further in the product. In the case of certain product applications, the material is softened mechanically prior to its use as an absorbent material. The article may have plural layers (14 - 16), one or several of which may be the material of the invention. Another embodiment has a single layer combined with a fluid permeable layer. A third embodiment is formed into a roll. <IMAGE> |
