20130253461 | Article with Nonwoven Web Component Formed with Loft-Enhancing Calender Bond Shapes and Patterns - An article having as a component a section of nonwoven web formed predominately of polymeric fibers is disclosed. The section of nonwoven web may have a pattern of consolidating bonds impressed on the surface. The bonds may have at least one bond shape; and the bond shape may have a perimeter with a greatest measurable length and greatest measurable width. The perimeter may have a convex portion and an aspect ratio of length/width of at least 2.5. Other features may be imparted relating to the density and orientations of the bonds relative machine and cross directions of the web. The bond shape reflects the shape of a corresponding bonding protrusion on a bonding roller. It is believed that the shape, density and/or orientation of the bonding protrusions affect air flow through the bonding nip in a way that may be utilized to enhance loft of the resulting bonded nonwoven web. | 09-26-2013 |
20140039434 | Diaper Structure With Enhanced Tactile Softness Attributes - A diaper structure with enhanced softness attributes is disclosed. The diaper structure may include an innermost layer formed of a first nonwoven web, and an outermost layer formed of a second nonwoven web. The first and second nonwoven webs may have a combined basis weight of at least about 30 gsm. The ratio of the first web basis weight to the second web basis weight may range from 30/70 to 70/30. Each of the webs may have a preconversion density no greater than 65 kg/m | 02-06-2014 |
20140039438 | ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING NONWOVEN MATERIALS - An absorbent article comprising a topsheet comprising a first nonwoven material having a first visible element, a backsheet comprising a second nonwoven material having a second visible element, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the first visible element and the second visible element are matching visible elements. Matching visible elements may enhance a caregiver's understanding of breathability and air flow between absorbent article components by indicating a pathway for air to flow | 02-06-2014 |
20140044934 | MULTI LAYERED NONWOVEN WEBS WITH VISUALLY DISTINCT BOND SITES AND METHOD OF MAKING - The present invention refers to a multilayered nonwoven web having layers of different color. The nonwoven web is pattern bonded to obtain bonded areas have a different color versus the unbonded areas. | 02-13-2014 |
20140072767 | NONWOVEN WEBS WITH ENHANCED LOFT AND PROCESS FOR FORMING SUCH WEBS - The present invention relates to a process of forming a soft bulky nonwoven web from a batt using thermobonding and to a soft bulky nonwoven web with a bond impression pattern and shape. The process comprises several steps including feeding a batt to a nip between first and second surface of first and second roller, where at least the first of the surfaces comprises spaced apart bonding protrusions surrounded by recessed areas. The bonding protrusions and the bond impression shape in the web exhibit a ratio of the greatest measurable width to the greatest measurable length of at least 1:2.5 and the perimeters thereof comprise a convex portion. The bonding protrusions are symmetric and/or have a certain angle to the machine direction. | 03-13-2014 |
20140088535 | Article With Soft Nonwoven Layer - An article having as a component a nonwoven material, which includes a layer of spunbond fibers. The fibers of the nonwoven material are made of a composition that includes a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin that is a propylene copolymer and is different from the first polyolefin and a softness enhancer additive. The layer of fibers also includes a plurality of calendering bonds with an aspect ratio of at least 2.5 | 03-27-2014 |
20140127459 | ARTICLE(S) WITH SOFT NONWOVEN WEB - A product that includes a soft nonwoven web is disclosed. The nonwoven web includes a first fibrous layer made of a first composition and a second fibrous layer made of a second composition. The second composition is different from the first composition. | 05-08-2014 |
20140127460 | ARTICLE(S) WITH SOFT NONWOVEN WEB - A product that includes a soft nonwoven web is disclosed. The nonwoven web includes a first fibrous layer made of a first composition and a second fibrous layer made of a second composition. The second composition is different from the first composition. | 05-08-2014 |
20140127461 | ARTICLE(S) WITH SOFT NONWOVEN WEB - A product that includes a soft nonwoven web is disclosed. The nonwoven web includes a first fibrous layer made of a first composition and a second fibrous layer made of a second composition. The second composition is different from the first composition. | 05-08-2014 |
20140343526 | NONWOVEN WEBS WITH VISUALLY DISTINCT BOND SITES AND METHOD OF MAKING - The present invention refers to a nonwoven web with multicomponent fibers having at least a first and a second component which differ from each other in color. The nonwoven web is pattern bonded to obtain bonded areas have a different color versus the unbonded areas. | 11-20-2014 |
