Abstract
This invention is directed to a nonwoven fabric having knuckle-free planar surfaces being comprised of (1) parallel linear machine direction yarns residing in a single plane and (2) interconnecting, cross-machine direction polymeric material also residing in said plane and substantially entirely surrounding the machine direction yarns, the cross-machine direction material containing spaced perforations through the fabric. The invention is also directed to the manufacture of such nonwoven fabric.
Claims15
A nonwoven fabric comprised of (1) spaced apart linear yarns running in substantially the same direction and (2) interconnecting, polymeric matrix material at least partially encapsulating each of said linear yarns, the polymeric matrix material containing perforations through the fabric.
A nonwoven fabric having knuckle-free surfaces and being comprised of (1) generally parallel machine direction linear yarns and (2) interconnecting, cross-machine direction polymeric matrix material substantially encapsulating said machine direction yarns, the cross-machine direction matrix material containing spaced perforations through the fabric.
