  • Publication number: 20030124336
    Abstract: An absorbent structure that includes: (1) a liquid permeable cover having a first surface area; (2) at least one layer of at least one liquid management material having a second surface area that is less than the first surface area; and (3) an adhesive system joining the liquid permeable cover and the liquid management material. The continuous layer of adhesive overlaying the permeable cover material desirably has a basis weight of 7.5 gsm or less. For example, layer of adhesive may have a basis weight of 4 gsm or 1.0 gsm or less .The absorbent structure may be mechanically post-treated. For example, the absorbent structure may be introduced into a nip and/or subjected to mechanical post treatments such as, for example, embossing, perforating, brushing, creping, aperturing and the like.
