Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Fibrous structures containing filaments and optionally, solid additives, wherein the pre-moistened fibrous structures exhibit wet compressive modulus values that are superior to known pre-moistened fibrous structures as measured according to the Wet Compressive Modulus Test Method described herein and methods for making same are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A pre-moistened fibrous structure comprising a core component comprising thermoplastic polymer filaments and solid additives and at least one scrim component, which is present in the pre-moistened fibrous structure at a basis weight of 10 gsm or less as measured according to the Fibrous Structure Basis Weight Test Method, adjacent to the core component, wherein the fibrous structure comprises at least two regions that exhibit different micro-CT basis weight values, wherein the fibrous structure comprises a consolidated region comprising fused thermoplastic polymer filaments present on at least one surface of the pre-moistened fibrous structure and wherein at least one surface of the pre-moistened fibrous structure comprises a plurality of deformations such that the fibrous structure exhibits a b/Basis Weight *100 value of greater than 1.50 mm/gsm as measured according to the Wet Compressive Modulus Test Method. 2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of less than 90% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 3. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 5% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 4. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the solid additives are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 10% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 5. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the filaments and solid additives are commingled together. 6. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the solid additives comprise fibers. 7. A wet wipe comprising a pre-moistened fibrous structure according to claim 1 . 8. A pre-moistened fibrous structure comprising a core component comprising thermoplastic polymer filaments and solid additives and at least one scrim component adjacent to the core component, wherein the fibrous structure comprises at least two regions that exhibit different micro-CT basis weight values, wherein the fibrous structure comprises a consolidated region comprising fused thermoplastic polymer filaments present on at least one surface of the pre-moistened fibrous structure and wherein the fibrous structure comprises at least one surface comprising a plurality of deformations such that the fibrous structure exhibits a m value of less than −0.25 slope mm as measured according to the Wet Compressive Modulus Test Method. 9. The fibrous structure according to claim 8 wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of less than 90% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 10. The fibrous structure according to claim 8 wherein the solid additives are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 10% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 11. The fibrous structure according to claim 8 wherein the filaments and solid additives are commingled together. 12. A wet wipe comprising a pre-moistened fibrous structure according to claim 8 . 13. The fibrous structure according to claim 8 wherein the filaments are present in the fibrous structure at a level of greater than 5% by weight of the fibrous structure on a dry basis. 14. The fibrous structure according to claim 8 wherein the solid additives comprise fibers.
