A highly extensible nonwoven web is provided. The highly extensible nonwoven web may include continuous multi-component fibers. The continuous multi-component fibers may include polypropylene, wherein the polypropylene has a crystallinity of less than about 41%. The polypropylene may have a melting temperature of less than about 161° C. The highly extensible nonwoven web may define a plurality of apertures. The apertures may be patterned. The highly extensible nonwoven web may form a portion of an absorbent article.

Highly extensible nonwoven webs and absorbent articles having such webs

A nonwoven web comprising heat bondable fibres and comprising bonding impressions that form a pattern repeated in the machine direction (MD), wherein the bonding impressions include: a system of basic bonding impressions, which are arranged to create visually primary patterns and an area of each basic impression is at least 1 mm, and a system of auxiliary bonding impressions having the area smaller than 1 mm, and wherein a sum of bonding areas of the individual auxiliary bonding impressions accounts for at least 30% of a total bonding area.

Nonwoven web comprising thermally fusible fibers and bonding impressions forming a pattern

An article having as a component a section of nonwoven web formed predominately of polymeric fibers is disclosed. The section of nonwoven web may have a pattern of consolidating bonds impressed on the surface. The bonds may have at least one bond shape; and the bond shape may have a perimeter with a greatest measurable length and greatest measurable width. The perimeter may have a convex portion and an aspect ratio of length/width of at least 2.5. Other features may be imparted relating to the density and orientations of the bonds relative machine and cross directions of the web. The bond shape reflects the shape of a corresponding bonding protrusion on a bonding roller. It is believed that the shape, density and/or orientation of the bonding protrusions affect air flow through the bonding nip in a way that may be utilized to enhance loft of the resulting bonded nonwoven web.

Article with nonwoven web component formed with loft-enhancing calender bond shapes and patterns

An article having as a component a nonwoven material, which includes a layer of spunbond fibers. The fibers of the nonwoven material are made of a composition that includes a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin that is a propylene copolymer and is different from the first polyolefin and a softness enhancer additive. The layer of fibers also includes a plurality of calendering bonds with an aspect ratio of at least 2.5.
