Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide method for producing an internally-tufted laminate adapted to provide improved softness and cloth-like feel. In one embodiment, a process for producing a polymeric layer comprises forcing polymeric fibers through a forming surface to produce the polymeric layer, the polymeric layer having a plurality of projections, each projection surrounded by a valley.

Abstract: A wipe comprising a non-woven composite material including at least one non-woven inner layer and at least one non-woven outer layer. The outer layer is textured and has a Layer Peak To Valley Ratio greater than 1 and less than about 4 and is bonded to the inner layer at at least two points. The composite material has a Wipe Peak To Valley Ratio greater than 1 and less than about 4.

Abstract: Nonwoven webs having reduced levels of lint and slough are disclosed. In accordance with the present invention, the nonwoven webs are treated on at least one surface with a small amount of a polymeric component. The polymeric component may be present, for instance, in the form of meltblown fibers. The meltblown fibers are made from a polymer that is compatible with the nonwoven web. By adding relatively small amounts of meltblown fibers to at least one side of the nonwoven material, lint and slough levels have been found to be significantly reduced. The nonwoven web may be any web containing pulp fibers, such as a tissue web or a coform web.
