Abstract: The total active detergent solids which can be incorporated with a nonwoven web is increased by the separate addition of a solution containing the active detergent solids and a solution containing detergent enhancers, such as anti-redeposition agents, water-softening agents, and salts.

Abstract: A multi-layered meltblown web contains a sufficient amount of condensed liquid detergent to wash a load of laundry. The layered construction utilizes high melting temperature materials in the outer layers which provide protection against melting of the less expensive, lower melting temperature inner layer when the product is exposed to abnormally high dryer temperatures.

Abstract: Meltblown sheets suitable as wet wipes, containing from about 100 to about 700 weight percent liquid, exhibit liquid concentration stability over long periods of time. Stacks of these sheets maintain substantially equal liquid concentrations from the top to the bottom of the stack notwithstanding evaporation losses through the top of the stack.

Abstract: A high melting temperature meltblown web, such as a polyester meltblown web, contains a sufficient amount of condensed liquid detergent to wash a load of laundry and does not exhibit an objectionalbe sticky feel.

Abstract: Layered meltblown abrasive sheets, suitable as wet wipes, exhibit liquid concentration stability over long periods of time. Stacks of these sheets maintain equal liquid concentration from the top to the bottom of the stack notwithstanding evaporation losses through the top of the stack.

Abstract: An abrasive polypropylene meltblown web having a very light basis weight and thick fibers is made by depositing the fibers onto a substrate while in a semi-molten state.

Abstract: Tissue comprising a matrix of nonwoven fibers having a basis weight generally in the range of about 25 to 50 gsm. The matrix is a meltblown web having incorporated therein staple fibers. The combination provides highly-improved tissue properties as well as strength and absorbency required for many tissue applications. The tissues may be formed by a conventional meltblowing process involving extrusion of a thermoplastic polymer as a filament in air streams which draw and attenuate the filaments to fine fibers, having an average diameter of up to about 10 microns. The staple fibers may be added to the air stream, and the turbulence produced where the air streams meet results in a uniform integration of the staple fibers into the meltblown web. The matrix may contain from about 30 to about 80 weight percent polymer and have a subjective softness rating of at least about 10.
