Ultra thin laminate with particulates in dense packages

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a method of forming a laminate absorbent structure, and a resulting package containing a single continuous running web of the laminate material. Notably, formation of the material is effected by blending a curtain of adhesive fibers with a curtain of particulate material, and depositing the mixture on a moving substrate, preferably provided in the form of a tissue layer. A second substrate, also preferably comprising a tissue layer, is applied on top of the deposited mixture, and pressure applied to form the laminated structure. Notably, attendant to packaging of the laminated material, adjacent layers of the material tend to nest into one another, to form a sandwich in which the density of the material in the package is more than 1.5 times the density of the material after its removal from the package.

1 . A package containing a single continuous running web of laminated material with the package comprising adjacent layers, where the laminated material comprises a layer of tissue laminated to a layer of particulate mixed with adhesive fibers laminated to a second layer of tissue, to form a sandwich, in which the Material Density in the package is more than 1.5 times the Density of the material after removing it from the package. 
     
     
         2 . The package according to  claim 1  where the package is a roll, a festooned package, or a spool. 
     
     
         3 . A roll containing a continuous running web of laminated material comprising a layer of tissue laminated to a layer of particulate mixed with adhesive fibers laminated to a second layer of tissue to form a sandwich, in which the Material Density in the package is more than 3 times the Density of the material when it is removed from the package. 
     
     
         4 . The material according to  claim 3  in which the Wind Layer Thickness is less than 0.3 mm. 
     
     
         5 . The material according to  claim 3  in which the Wind Layer Thickness is less than 0.27 mm. 
     
     
         6 . The roll, according to  claim 3 , which contains more than 3000 lineal meters of material. 
     
     
         7 . The festooned package according to  claim 2  that contains more than 2000 square meters.
