Abstract
A multi-purpose sheet material comprising an absorbent material and a bonding material in contact with the absorbent material. The bonding material and the absorbent material are thermally bonded so that the bonding material and the absorbent material form an amalgamated layer therebetween. A fluid impermeable material is in contact with the absorbent material. The bonding material has a basis weight in the range of 4 g/m2 to about 100 g/m2 and, the sheet material exhibits a lamination efficiency of at least 10 g/m2.

A cut-resistant and absorbent multi-purpose sheet comprising:
- (a) an absorbent material having a top layer and a bottom surface;
- (b) said top layer comprising an amalgamation of said absorbent material and a continuous sheet of bonding material;
- (c) a fluid impermeable material in contact with said bottom surface;
- wherein said bonding material has a basis weight in the range of 4 g/m2 to about 100 g/m2;
- and,
- wherein said sheet material exhibits a lamination efficiency of at least 10 g/m2.
A multi-purpose sheet material comprising:
- (a) an absorbent material having opposing first and second surfaces;
- (b) an impermeable material in contact with said first surface of said absorbent material;
- (c) a bonding material in contact with said second surface of said absorbent material and forming an amalgamated layer therebetween;
- and,
- wherein said sheet material exhibits an absorbent efficiency of at least 0.2, a lamination efficiency of at least 10 g/m2, and a slice resistance of at least 30 kgf/cm.
An absorbent, cut-resistant, and shred-resistant article, comprising:
- a sheet material, wherein the sheet material exhibits a cut-resistance of at least 30 kgf/cm, an absorbent efficiency of at least 0.2, and a lamination effiency of at least 10 g/m2.
