Abstract
Provided is a pulp fibrous accumulated sheet including: a liquid permeable pulp fibrous accumulated layer containing a crushed pulp or base-fibers mainly including a crushed pulp, and a binder; and a plurality of fiber crimped parts formed by compression and pressurization, the fiber crimped parts being formed so that crushed pulp fibers each straddling the adjacent fiber crimped parts are present.
Claims10
A method for producing a pulp fibrous accumulated sheet, comprising:
- embossing base-fibers by sending the base-fibers between a pair of emboss rolls each having a plurality of projections on a circumference surface thereof, such that a plurality of crimped parts is formed in the base-fibers;
- applying a binder onto the base-fibers from a first direction, and adsorbing the base-fibers along the first direction;
- and
- applying a binder onto the base-fibers from a second direction, which is different from the first direction, and adsorbing the base-fibers along the second direction,
- wherein the embossing is performed prior to application of any binder to the base-fibers,
- wherein
- the base-fibers comprise a crushed pulp,
- the pulp fibrous accumulated sheet has a top surface and a bottom surface,
- the top surface has a concavo-convex shape formed by fiber crimped parts in the shape of a concave and a plurality of convex projections positioned between straddling the fiber crimped parts adjacent to each other, and
- a thickness between the top surface and the bottom surface at the concave is smaller than a thickness between the top surface and the bottom surface at the convex projections, and
- the fiber crimped parts are formed such that fibers of the crushed pulp straddle from a fiber crimped part to an adjacent fiber crimped part.
