Abstract
A Nonwoven fibrous structures with a high interfacial pore size and substrates made therefrom are provided. The substrates may be used, for example, in wipes. In one embodiment, the wipes include a hydromolded pattern on one side. The hydromolded pattern has an average pore-size of the interface between two stacked wipes that is greater than 180 microns in radius. In addition, a method for manufacturing nonwoven fibrous structures with high interfacial pore size is also provided.
Claims14
A wipes container comprising:
- a first wipe comprising a first face and a second face, the first face of the first wipe comprising a hydromolded pattern thereon;
- a second wipe comprising a first face and a second face, the first face of the second wipe comprising a hydromolded pattern thereonto;
- wherein the first and second wipes comprise lotion;
- wherein the first and second wipes are at least partially overlapped such that at least a portion of the second face of the first wipe is in contact with the second face of the second wipe;
- and
- wherein an average interfacial pore-size of the first and second wipes is greater than 300 microns in radius and less than 700 microns in radius,
- wherein the hydromolded pattern of the first wipe is formed on the first face via a continuous raised portion interspersed with a plurality of discrete recessed portions.

A container of wipes comprising:
- a housing;
- and
- a plurality of wipes at least partially overlapping one another and contained at least partially within the housing, each of the wipes having a first surface and an opposing second surface;
- wherein the first surface of the wipes includes a raised portion and a plurality of recessed portions forming a pattern on the first surface of the wipes;
- and
- the pattern on the first surface of the wipes prevents the raised portions of a first wipe from nesting within the plurality of recessed portions of a second wipe, wherein the second wipe is overlapping with the first wipe, such that at least a portion of the second surface of the first wipe is in contact with the second surface of the second wipe,
- wherein an average interfacial pore-size of the first and second wipes is greater than 300 microns in radius and less than 700 microns in radius, and
- wherein the raised portion is continuous and the recessed portions are discontinuous.
