Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure is generally directed to a dispersible moist wipe comprising hydroentangled fibers and a binder composition. The moist wipe demonstrates high initial wet strength while maintaining effective dispersion in an aqueous environment. The moist wipe has potential application as a flushable surface cleaning product and/or a flushable cleansing cloth.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A dispersible moist wipe comprising a plurality of entangled fibers and about 0.5 grams per square meter (gsm) to about 5 gsm of an ion-triggerable binder composition, the wipe having a geometric mean tensile (GMT) wet strength of at least about 300 grams per inch (g/in), a GMT soak wet strength of less than about 180 g/in, and a wet density of less than about 0.115 g/ccm. 2 . The dispersible moist wipe as set forth in claim 1 wherein the wet density is in a range from about 0.100 g/ccm to about 0.115 g/ccm. 3 . The dispersible moist wipe as set forth in claim 2 wherein the wet density is in a range from about 0.110 g/ccm to about 0.112 g/ccm. 4 . The dispersible moist wipe as set forth in claim 1 wherein the fibers comprise a hydroentangled mixture of regenerated fibers and natural fibers. 5 . A dispersible moist wipe comprising: entangled fibers; and, a binder composition, wherein the binder composition comprises the polymerization product of a vinyl-functional cationic monomer and one or more hydrophobic vinyl monomers with alkyl side chains of 1 to 4 carbon atoms. 6 . A dispersible moist wipe having a geometric mean tensile (GMT) wet strength of at least about 300 grams per inch (g/in), a GMT soak wet strength of less than about 180 g/in, and a CD stretch percent greater than about 40%.
