NONWOVEN FABRIC FOR ORAL POUCHED PRODUCT, AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING A NONWOVEN FABRIC

摘要

A nonwoven fabric for manufacturing an oral pouched product, where the nonwoven fabric is chewable, i.e. is capable of withstanding repeated deformations in an aqueous environment without disintegrating. The chewable nonwoven fabric comprises a nonwoven fabric substrate and a resiliently deformable permeable material disposed on the nonwoven fabric substrate, wherein the resiliently deformable permeable material and the nonwoven fabric substrate form a two-layer laminated structure. The resiliently deformable permeable material provides a support structure for the nonwoven fabric substrate to prevent it from disintegrating when chewed.
