The present invention is directed to a process and apparatus for formation of a fluid-entangled laminate web. The laminate web includes a support layer and a nonwoven projection web having a plurality of projections which are preferably hollow. The laminate web also includes a plurality of apertures interspersed with the projections. As a result of the fluid-entangling process, entangling fluid is directed through the support layer and into the projection web which is situated on a forming surface. The force of the entangling fluid causes the two layers to be joined to one another and the fluid causes a portion of the fibers in the projection web to be forced into openings present in a forming surface thereby forming the hollow projections. The force of the entangling fluid also causes the fibers of the two layers to be moved around protrusions present in the forming surface thereby forming the apertures.

A non-woven functional core cover for use in combination with an absorbent core, where said functional core cover comprises at least a first fraction comprising lyocell fibres, and characterised in that a majority of said fibres are oriented in the same direction. Thus, the absorbent core cover may be considered an absorbent article component. Thereby, a functional core cover having improved wicking properties and improved wet integrity is realised, the advantages allowing reducing the amount of fluff used in the mix with SAP. A reduction of material used in the absorbent core improves the feeling of wearing the absorbent product, e.g. a baby diaper, which in turn facilitate the movement of the baby. The wicking properties cause liquid to be distributed better across the surface of the core cover, such that more of the absorbent core is exposed to the expelled liquid.

Provided herein are fluid-absorbent articles, fluid absorbent cores, and fluid-absorbent mixtures with improved properties, especially rewet performance and liquid acquisition. The fluid-absorbent article includes (A) an upper liquid-pervious sheet, (B) a lower liquid-impervious sheet, (C) a fluid-absorbent core including from 60 to 20% by weight fibrous material and from 40 to 80% by weight of at least a first type of water-absorbent polymer particles, (G) and at least a second type of water-absorbent polymer particles (H) based on the sum of water-absorbent polymer particles and fibrous material, (D) an optional acquisition-distribution layer (D) between (A) and (C), (F) other optional components, wherein the first type of water absorbent polymer particles (G) of the fluid-absorbent core (C) have a SFC of at least 2010.sup.7 cm.sup.3.Math.s/g, and wherein the at least second type of water-absorbent polymer particles (H) of the fluid-absorbent core have a sphericity of at least 0.80.
