| 摘要 |
A nonwoven fabric is prepared by simultaneously heating and compressing spaced, discrete areas of a nonwoven, bondable fiber web containing an attenuating bonding liquid in excess of the minimum amount (the "peak bonding quantity") required to produce maximum fabric strength. The attenuating bonding liquid is a bonding liquid which, if used in quantities exceeding the peak bonding quantity by no more than 400% of the web weight (prior to addition of bonding liquid), provides a nonwoven fabric having an average bending modulus at least 20% lower than that of a fabric prepared using the peak bonding quantity of liquid. |
