The invention relates to a nonwoven material having sufficient strength to be used in a pre-moistened state but also having dispersibility properties which allow the product to be flushed. The material comprises at least two nonwoven webs, at least one of which is hydroentangled. Each of the individual webs has a basis weight of 20-100 gsm. The nonwoven webs are joined together by thermal or mechanical embossing, or a combination of these.

A washable nonwoven fabric for washable is provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure, including: a base layer and a washable anti-pilling layer. The base layer has a softness coefficient of from 40 to 140, in which the softness coefficient is tested according to method A in JIS L1096-2010 standard test. The washable anti-pilling layer is adhered to the base layer and comprises a composition including polyurethane. A covalent bond exists between the base layer and the washable anti-pilling layer, and the covalent bond is an amide functional group bond, a urethane functional group bond, a urea functional group bond, or a combination thereof. A weight percentage of isocyanate groups in the composition is not lower than 1.2%. A method of manufacturing a washable nonwoven fabric is also provided in some embodiments of the present disclosure.

Wearable article comprising a laminate with excellent sweat management properties. The laminate comprises a first web and a second web. The second web is formed of a first fibrous layer and a second fibrous layer, which are integrally combined with each other. The second fibrous layer may be more hydrophilic than the first fibrous layer; and/or the second fibrous layer may have higher average surface area per volume than the first fibrous layer.

A wet laid and hydraulically entangled nonwoven material made from cellulosic fibers and synthetic staple fibers is disclosed. The cellulosic fibers are mixed with the synthetic fibers and formed into a web using a wet lay process. The web is then subjected to multiple hydroentangling processes. In one embodiment, the web is subjected to a first hydroentangling process while being conveyed in a horizontal position. The web is then fed over subsequent hydroentangling drums. Each side of the web is subjected to at least one more hydroentangling process.
