A secretafacient unit or pad which includes an intimate mixture of nonfusible absorbent fibers and relatively easily fusible fibers. The fibers are maintained in an integral unit by fusing the heat-fusible fibers by embossment. Embossment is conducted under conditions of relatively low temperature and pressure. This creates a unit or pad which has integrity, without the use of adhesive, flexibility and which is relatively cheap to produce. The unit may be used as an absorbent material in a variety of applications e.g. sanitary napkins, diapers, wound dressings, panty liners. |
