Abstract
A disposable wiping article is disclosed having at least a first layer and a second plastic film layer. The first layer has a wet extensibility greater than that of the second, layer. The first layer can be a dry creped web of cellulosic fibers, and the second layer can be an apertured, three dimensional plastic film. Selected portions of the first layer are bonded to the second layer to inhibit wet extension of the first layer in the plane of the first layer. In one embodiment, the wiping article comprises a third layer which can be a dry creped, apertured web of cellulosic fibers having a wet extensibility greater than that of the second layer. The second plastic film layer is disposed between the first layer and the third layer and inhibits wet extension of both the first and third layer when wetted.

A multiple layer disposable wiping article comprising:
- a first layer comprising a nonwoven web, the first layer being extensible in a plane of the first layer when the first layer is wetted;
- and
- a second layer comprising a plastic film, the plastic film being less extensible when wetted than the first layer;
- wherein selected portions of the first layer are joined to the second layer to inhibit wet extension of the first layer in the plane of the first layer, and wherein the article has a wet to dry caliper ratio of at least about 1.1.
A multiple layer disposable wiping article comprising:
- a first layer, the first layer being extensible in a plane of the first layer when the first layer is wetted;
- a second layer comprising a three dimensional apertured plastic film the plastic film being less extensible when wetted than the first layer;
- and
- an apertured third layer, the third layer being extensible in a plane of the third layer when the third layer is wetted;
- wherein the second layer is disposed intermediate the first layer and the third layer and wherein the selected portions of the first layer and the third layer are joined to the second layer to inhibit wet extension of the first layer and the third layer in the planes of the first layer and the third layer, respectively, and wherein the article has a wet to dry caliper ratio of at least about 1:1.
