Abstract:
1. A consumer scrubbing wipe article comprising: a nonwoven substrate having a dry basis weight of less than about 300 g/m a non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based texture layer printed onto at least one surface of the substrate such that the texture layer extends at least 50 microns outwardly beyond the substrate surface upon coalescing; wherein the texture layer bonds to the surface of the substrate via coalescing, and includes resin characterized as independently imparting a scrubbyness attribute to the article upon coalescing and forms a discontinuous pattern that covers less than an entirety of the substrate surface, the pattern including a texture layer segment defined by a perimeter separating the texture layer segment from other portions of the texture layer such that a zone of non-texture layer surrounds the perimeter, and further wherein a cross-section of an entirety of the texture layer segment within the perimeter is a continuously solid structure.
