A nonwoven fabric composite that comprises at least one extensible layer of elastomeric fine fibers treated with a wetting agent is provided. The nonwoven fabric composite can be used a barrier layer or a wrap for an absorbent materials to prevent particles form migrating out of the absorbent material.
Claims22
A personal care product comprising:
- a. a liquid impervious backing sheet,
- b. a nonwoven fabric composite that comprises at least one layer of fine fibers and at least one layer of spunbonded fibers wherein the at least one layer of spunbonded layers is extensible and the at least one layer of fine fibers comprises fibers that comprise a blend of an elastomeric polymer and an internal wetting agent, and
- c. an absorbent material disposed between the liquid impervious backing sheet and the nonwoven fabric composite.
A nonwoven fabric composite consisting essentially of:
- a. an extensible first layer of spunbonded fibers,
- b. an extensible second layer of spunbonded fibers,
- c. a layer of meltblown fibers disposed between the first layer of spunbonded fibers and the second layer of spunbonded fibers, wherein the layer of meltblown fibers consist essentially of elastomeric fibers include an internal wetting agent or are treated with a wetting agent.
