Abstract:
A coform material is provided including a nonwoven web containing a mixture of staple fibers and an absorbent material including pulp fibers. The staple fibers are present in an amount of from about 5 wt. % to about 50 wt. % and the pulp fibers are present in an amount of from about 50 wt. % to about 95 wt. %. The staple fibers have an average length of from about 5 mm to about 50 mm. The staple fibers and pulp fibers are thermally bonded or hydraulically entangled to form the nonwoven web. Methods and systems for producing coform materials are also provided.
