Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an absorbent fibrous web, in which the fibres are constituted by cellulosic fibres including cellulosic staple fibres and cellulose pulp fibres and the absorbent fibrous web is a foam-formed hydro-entangled fibrous web. The present disclosure further relates to a method of manufacturing such an absorbent fibrous web.

Abstract: An absorbent material, such as a non-woven web or a tissue paper, includes continuous filaments and short fibers, the short fibers including natural and/or synthetic fibers or staple fibers. The absorbent material exhibits an absorbency speed of equal to or less than 2 s and a weight loss when washed of equal to or less than 5%. The absorbent material can be incorporated into a wipe.

Abstract: A fibrous structure exhibits an absorbency time of equal to or less than 1.5 s and exhibits an antimicrobial effect.

Abstract: A hydroentangled integrated composite nonwoven material, includes a mixture of randomized continuous filaments, splittable shortcut staple fibers, and optionally non-splittable staple fibers. The splittable fibers should be 3-16 mm long bicomponent fibers. Preferably there should be no thermal bonding points between the filaments. The nonwoven material has improved textile feeling and reduced two-sidedness. The continuous filaments should preferably be spunlaid filaments. Some of the staple fibers can be colored. A process of producing such a nonwoven material is disclosed.

Abstract: A method for producing a flushable hydroentangled moist wipe or hygiene tissue includes the steps of: dry-, wet-, or foam-forming a fibrous web on a moving support, hydroentangling said fibrous web in a hydroentangling station to form a hydroentangled nonwoven web. The moving support includes a plurality of protruding elongated elements protruding above the surface of the moving support. The protruding elements will produce weakenings in the hydroentangled web.

Abstract: A flushable wipe or hygiene tissue includes a hydraulically entangled nonwoven material impregnated with a wetting composition, wherein the nonwoven material includes cellulose pulp fibers and/or manmade staple fibers. The nonwoven material includes disintegration elements having a projected surface area between 2 and 50 mm2 and an aspect ratio (L/D) between 1 and 10. The disintegration elements may be selected from the following group: botanical elements, paper containing a wet-strength agent, nonwoven material, and film material, and will result in a material that is more readily disintegratable when flushed in a sewer.

Abstract: An embossed composite nonwoven web material includes a mixture of thermally unbonded continuous spunlaid filaments and short fibers including natural and/or synthetic fibers or staple fibers. The continuous filaments and short fibers being substantially mechanically bonded to each other by hydroentangling and the composite nonwoven web material being embossed without thermobonds to have a strength index equal to or more than 1 time the strength index of the unembossed composite nonwoven web material.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a composite nonwoven web material includes extruding continuous filaments from a spinnerette, drawing the filaments by a slot attenuation unit to thin continuous filaments, forming a web of unbonded continuous filaments without thermobonds as the filaments are laid down, hydroentangling the web including continuous spunlaid filaments together with wet or foam formed short fibers including natural and/or synthetic fibers or staple fibers to integrate and mechanically bond and form a thermally unbonded composite nonwoven web material. A moist environment is created at the formation and lay down of the continuous filaments by the steps of laying down the filaments on an already wetted surface, keeping the width of the outlet of the slot attenuation unit open by more than 65 mm and adding liquid at the outlet of the slot attenuation unit.

Abstract: A sheet of wiping material has a first outer surface and a second outer surface and a core region between the surfaces. The wiping material includes absorbent fibers and non-absorbent fibers. The wiping material has a stratified structure with a fiber gradient and a higher ratio of absorbent fibers to non-absorbent fibers at the outer surfaces of the wiping material than in the core region. A method of producing the wiping material is described.

Abstract: A flushable moist wipe or hygiene tissue including a hydraulically entangled nonwoven material impregnated with a wetting composition is provided. The nonwoven material contains at least 70%, by fibre weight, pulp fibres and at least 5%, by fibre weight, poly(lactic acid) fibres having a length between 8 and 20 mm and a fineness between 0.5 and 3 dtex. The poly(lactic acid) fibres are non-melted, and the moist wipe or hygiene tissue is free from added binders and wet-strength agents.

Abstract: A web, such as a tissue or nonwoven web. Perforation lines in the web define sheets. The web is folded before being rolled or stacked, such that the intersection of the perforation lines and the folding line provides reliable dispensing. The web in roll or stack form, a method for forming the web, and a dispenser adapted for dispensing the web are also described.

Abstract: A nonwoven material including at least two layers integrated into each other, for use as a body facing sheet in an absorbent article. The first layer includes spunlaid filaments and the second layer includes staple fibers. The staple fibers have a thickness ?1.5 dtex, and the filaments have a thickness ?2.5 dtex. Further, an absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, panty liner, incontinence protector or diaper can include the nonwoven material as a body facing sheet.
