Embodiment

[0129] These embodiments include a dual layer absorbent system disposed between a cover layer and a barrier layer. The basis weight of the covering layer is 0.6osy (20g / m 2 ), and consisted of wettable, random-laid, 3.0 denier continuous polypropylene fibers, 2% concentration of titanium dioxide and 0.45% AHCOVEL surfactant available from Uniqema, an office located in New Castle, Obtained from the firm of Delaware, U.S.A. The fibers of the cover were thermally bonded with an extended HansonPennings diamond bond pattern #1 R90330-M-15D.

[0130] The barrier layer consisted of a 1.0 mil (0.0254 mm) thick rosette polyethylene film with a micro-embossed MFST pattern and treated with 37 dynes / cm Corona. Barrier materials are available from Pliant Corporation, a firm with offices in Schaumburg, Illinois, U.S.A.

[0131] The absorbent structure comprises an intake layer and an absorbent forming layer as follows: The intake layer has a lateral width of 50 mm and consists of 200 g / m...
