Fibrous structure-containing articles that exhibit consumer relevant properties

Articles, such as sanitary tissue products, including fibrous structures, and more particularly articles including fibrous structures having a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the article exhibits differential cellulose content throughout the thickness of the article and methods for making same are provided.

Coform Material with Staple Fibers and Process for Forming Coform Materials

A coform material is provided including a nonwoven web containing a mixture of staple fibers and an absorbent material including pulp fibers. The staple fibers are present in an amount of from about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % and the pulp fibers are present in an amount of from about 50 wt. % to about 95 wt. %. The staple fibers have an average length of from about 5 mm to about 50 mm. The staple fibers and pulp fibers are thermally bonded or hydraulically entangled to form the nonwoven web. Methods and systems for producing coform materials are also provided.

Fibrous structure-containing articles that exhibit consumer relevant properties

Articles, such as sanitary tissue products, comprising fibrous structures, and more particularly articles comprising fibrous structures comprising a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the articles exhibit improved consumer relevant properties, for example improved bulk and absorbent properties, compared to known articles and methods for making same are provided.

Cleaning system incorporating stitch bonded cleaning pad with multi-filament stitches
10010233 · 2018-07-03 · ·

A cleaning pad structure of stitch bonded construction incorporating one or more substrate layers of an absorbent nonwoven material with an optional additional fluid blocking substrate layer of polymer film or other suitable material in juxtaposed relation to the absorbent nonwoven layers. Stitching yarns are introduced in stitching relation through the substrate layers. One face of the pad defines a cleaning surface of raised yarn loops formed by the stitched yarns. The pad further includes an attachment surface facing away from the cleaning surface. The stitches of yarns across the attachment surface define an engagement surface for attachment to cooperating hooking elements across a surface of a mop head to define a hook and loop attachment system.

A nonwoven fabric has: a base section that is spread in a flat manner and that comprises a first surface and a second surface opposite each other; and a plurality of protrusions that protrude from the first surface of the base section in the thickness direction. Each of the protrusions is provided with a peripheral surface section that rises from the first surface of the base section in the thickness direction and a peak surface section comprising a peak surface formed on the vertex of the protrusion. The fiber density of the peripheral surface section is higher than the fiber density of the peak surface section. At least part of a peak surface peripheral edge part of the peak surface section is configured as a thickest section having the thickest thickness of the nonwoven fabric.
