Patent ID: 8389427

Claim:
A hydroentangled composite nonwoven material, comprising: a web of randomized un-thermally bonded spunlaid filaments, on which a mixture of synthetic staple fibres and wood pulp fibres has been wetlaid, wherein one side of the nonwoven material contains a relatively higher amount of the spunlaid filaments than an opposite side of the nonwoven material, the nonwoven material is bonded in a non-random bonding pattern comprising a plurality of bonding sites each having a bonding area of 0.1 to 3 mm 2 , in which thermoplastic material comprised in the nonwoven material has been caused to at least partly soften or melt to create thermal bonds between the un-thermally bonded spunlaid filaments, and the thermal bonds do not penetrate the entire thickness of the material and are applied on the side containing the relatively higher amount of spunlaid filaments, and wherein the nonwoven material comprises no other thermal bonds between the filaments than provided by said non-random bonding pattern.
