Abstract

An absorbent sanitary paper product having a first network of fibers having a basis weight of less than about 95 g/m 2 , or a total dry tensile strength of less than about 8000 g/in, or a density of less than about 0.30 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 is disclosed. A bonding layer is applied to a surface thereof in a pattern, and a second network of fibers comprising individual fibers adhesively attached to the bonding layer and conforming with the pattern.

Claims (20)

1. An absorbent sanitary paper product comprising a first network of fibers comprising cellulose fibers having a basis weight of less than about 95 g/m 2 , a bonding layer comprising a water soluble adhesive applied to a first surface thereof in a pattern, a second network of fibers comprising individual fibers having an average length at least about 20% greater than fibers comprising said first network of fibers adhesively attached to said bonding layer and conforming with said pattern, a second bonding layer applied to a second surface of said first network of fibers, and a third network of fibers comprising individual fibers adhesively attached to said second bonding layer.

2. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 1 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight of less than about 75 g/m 2 .

3. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 2 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight ranging from between about 10 g/m 2 and about 75 g/m 2 .

4. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 1 wherein said first network of fibers has a density of less than about 0.30 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 .

5. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 4 wherein said first network of fibers has a density ranging from about 0.12 g/cm 3 to about 0.05 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 .

6. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 1 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 8000 gf/in.

7. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 6 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 3000 gf/in.

8. An absorbent sanitary paper product comprising a first network of fibers comprising cellulose fibers having a total dry tensile strength of less than about 8000 gf/in, a first bonding layer comprising a water soluble adhesive applied to a first surface thereof in a pattern, a second network of fibers comprising individual fibers having an average length at least about 20% greater than fibers comprising said first network of fibers adhesively attached to said bonding layer and conforming with said pattern, a second bonding layer applied to a second surface of said first network of fibers, and a third network of fibers comprising individual fibers adhesively attached to said second bonding layer.

9. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 8 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight of less than about 75 g/m 2 .

10. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 9 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight ranging from between about 10 g/m 2 and about 75 g/m 2 .

11. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 8 wherein said first network of fibers has a density of less than about 0.30 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 .

12. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 11 wherein said first network of fibers has a density ranging from about 0.12 g/cm 3 to about 0.05 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 .

13. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 8 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 5000 gf/in.

14. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 13 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 3000 gf/in.

15. An absorbent sanitary paper product comprising a first network of fibers comprising cellulose fibers having a density of less than about 0.30 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 , a bonding layer comprising a water soluble adhesive applied to a first surface thereof in a pattern, a second network of fibers comprising individual fibers having an average length at least about 20% greater than fibers comprising said first network of fibers adhesively attached to said bonding layer and conforming with said pattern, a second bonding layer applied to a second surface of said first network of fibers, and a third network of fibers comprising individual fibers adhesively attached to said second bonding layer.

16. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 15 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight of less than about 75 g/m 2 .

17. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 16 wherein said first network of fibers has a basis weight ranging from between about 10 g/m 2 and about 75 g/m 2 .

18. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 15 wherein said first network of fibers has a density ranging from about 0.12 g/cm 3 to about 0.05 g/cm 3 measured at a pressure trap point (PTP) of 100 g/in 2 .

19. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 15 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 5000 gf/in.

20. The absorbent sanitary paper product of claim 19 wherein said first network of fibers has a total dry tensile strength of less than 3000 gf/in.
