Abstract
An absorbent, abrasive composite nonwoven web (42) may include at least four layers with two of the layers being formed by meltblowing (10, 54) and two of the layers being supporting carrier layers (14, 58). One of the meltblown layers is an abrasive surface layer (10) formed from a coarse, shot-laden meltblown layer (10) while another meltblown layer is disposed in the interior of the composite web (42) and is adapted to provide absorbency characteristics to composite. The carrier layers (14,58) may be formed from spunbonded webs. The abrasive surface layer (10) and its supporting carrier layer (14) are joined together by hot pin aperturing.
