Abstract:
A nonwoven wherein orthogonally differential bonding provides high elongation in a first direction and low elongation in a second direction, said nonwoven having a plurality of bonding points defining a total bonding area along said second direction greater than along said first direction, said bonding points forming a uniform pattern of bond density in the first direction different from a uniform pattern of bond density in the second direction, said bonding points being closed figures elongated in said second direction and selected from the group consisting of closed figures:(A) oriented in parallel along said second direction axis; (B) oriented transverse to adjacent closed figures along said second direction axis; and (C) oriented in sets with proximate closed figures so as to form therebetween a closed configuration elongated in said second direction.
