Estimating the term…
A folded absorbent product includes at least one fold in the transverse direction of the product and an absorption body. The absorption body includes, in its thickness direction, a liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer and a liquid-absorbent fibrous layer. The liquid-receiving flexible foam layer has a total surface in the plane extension of the product that at least covers the entire surface of the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer in the plane extension; and has a bending stiffness that is lower than 0.30 newtons measured according to the modified Circular Bend Procedure method and the liquid-absorbent. The fibrous layer has a bending stiffness that is greater than 2.0 newtons measured according to the modified Circular Bend Procedure method.
A folded absorbent product (100) having at least one fold in the transverse direction of the product, wherein the absorbent product comprises an absorption body (103), characterised by that the absorption body (103) comprises in its thickness direction a liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) and a liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105), wherein the liquid-receiving flexible foam layer (104) has a total surface in the plane extension of the product that at least covers the entire surface of the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105) in the plane extension, wherein the liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) has a bending stiffness that is less than 0.30 newtons measured according to the modified Circular Bend Procedure method and that the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105) has a bending stiffness greater than 2.0 newtons measured according to the modified Circular Bend Procedure method.
A folded absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) has an opacity that is greater than 35%.
A folded absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) has an absorption capacity that is lower than 0.15 grams liquid/cm3 of dry test material measured according to the method CRCmaterial layer.
A folded absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims, wherein each longitudinally running side edge (106, 107) of the liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) extends at least 5.0 millimetres outside of each longitudinally running side edge (110, 111) of the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105).
An absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the total surface of the liquid-receiving, flexible foam layer (104) in the plane extension is at least 1.7 times as great as the total surface of the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105) in the plane extension of the product.
An absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims, wherein the product comprises a liquid-permeable surface material (101) and a liquid-tight backing material (102), wherein the absorption body (103) is arranged between the liquid-permeable surface material (101) and the liquid-tight backing material (102), and that the flexible, liquid-receiving foam layer (104) is placed against the liquid-permeable surface material (101) and the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105) is placed against the liquid-tight backing material (102).
Single-unit packaging containing a folded absorbent product according to any one of the previous claims.
Packaging containing a plurality of folded absorbent products according to any one of the previous claims.
Packaging containing a plurality of folded absorbent products according to previous claims, wherein each of the folded absorbent products in the packaging has a more compressed structure than corresponding absorbent products in their unfolded state.
