Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Nonwoven fibrous structures with a high interfacial pore size and substrates made therefrom are described herein. The substrates may be used, for example, in wipes. The wipes may include a hydromoled pattern on one surface. The hydromolded pattern can have an average pore-size of the interface between two stacked wipes that is greater than 180 microns in radius.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A container of wipes comprising: a housing; and a plurality of wipes at least partially overlapping one another and contained at least partially within the housing; wherein a surface of each of the plurality of wipes includes a continuous raised portion and a plurality of discrete recessed portions; the continuous raised portion of a first wipe being configured to prevent its continuous raised portion from nesting within the plurality of recessed portions of an adjacent second wipe; and wherein an average pore-size of the interface between the first and second wipes is greater than 180 microns in radius. 2. The container of wipes of claim 1 wherein the raised portion comprises at least 20% of the area of the surface. 3. The container of wipes of claim 1 wherein the raised portion comprises at least 40% of the area of the surface. 4. The container of wipes of claim 1 wherein the raised portion comprises at least 50% of the area of the surface.
