Abstract:
A patterned hydroentangled nonwoven sheet material contains at least 25 wt. % of cellulosic pulp, in which a surface area of between 1 and 20% of at least one surface has been imprinted to form a decorative or informative pattern discernible by at least one of visual or tactile differences between imprinted and non-imprinted areas. The patterned nonwoven sheet material can be produced by forming a fibrous web including thermoplastic fibres and cellulosic pulp, hydroentangling the fibrous web to form a nonwoven sheet material and drying, and then subjecting the dried nonwoven sheet material to an imprinting action provided by an energy transmitter, in particular using ultrasonic energy, on a patterned anvil at a temperature of less than 100° C. to form a patterned nonwoven sheet material.

Claim (Index 11):
A process of producing a patterned nonwoven sheet material comprising:\n forming a fibrous web comprising thermoplastic fibres and cellulosic pulp; hydroentangling the fibrous web to form a nonwoven sheet material; drying the nonwoven sheet material to a water content of less than 10 wt. %; and subjecting the dried nonwoven sheet material to an imprinting action provided by an energy transmitter on a patterned anvil at a temperature of less than 100\u00b0 C. to form a patterned nonwoven sheet material.
