Washington and 5% by weight of the bicomponent PE/PP binder
fiber mentioned in the previous examples and produced by
Danaklon a/s of Varde, Denmark. Sample 5b used the same
superabsorbent fibers and bicomponent fibers as sample 5a and
the same cellulose acetate fine wettable fibers and fluffing
pulp as used in sample 4b. Sample 5b contained 75% by weight
superabsorbent fiber, 16% by weight cellulose acetate Fibrets®
fine wettable fibers, 4% by weight fluffing pulp and 5% by
weight bicomponent polyolefin binder fiber.
Example 6 included two sample materials (sample 6a and
sample 6b). The sample 6a used the same components as sample
5a except for the length of the superabsorbent fiber which was
12 mm instead of 6 mm. The sample 6a comprised 75% by weight
superabsorbent fiber, 20% by weight fluffing pulp and 5% by
weight of bicomponent PE/PP binder fiber. Sample 6b used the
same materials as did sample 5b. Sample 6b comprised 75% by
weight superabsorbent fiber, 16% by weight fine wettable
fiber,
4% by weight fluffing pulp and 5% by weight bicomponent binder
fiber.
