More Information
Summary:The invention is related to the fields of fluid handling and filtration. Suitable uses include absorbent personal care products. More particularly, it concerns a fabric having creases which results in good resilience and resistance to compression, versus comparable materials having an un-creased structure. There is provided a surge material for personal care products with a first creased layer and at least a second layer, where the layers are in face-to-face relation to one another and bonded together. The first has creases with a depth of between 0.25 and 2 mm and a frequency of between 5 and 100 per centimeter in the cross-machine and the second layer may have densities of between 0.01 and 0.05 g/cc and a basis weight between 25 and 250 gsm.
