Nonwoven composite laminate for cleaning pads and wipes

摘要

A nonwoven composite combines a support layer (12) with at least one carded fiber layer, and the combined layers are thermally bonded together between calendar rolls. In one preferred embodiment, the support layer consists of a prebonded thermal-bond nonwoven which provides a softer, more drapable hand. In a preferred trilaminate wipe product, the carded fiber layers (10a and 10b) are comprised of a blend of absorbent, resilient and soft fibers. In a preferred bilaminate skin care product, the carded fiber layer is bonded with a different bond pattern than that of the prebonded thermal-bond support layer, to produce a dual textured product.
