Abstract
Absorbent structure (1) consisting of an absorbent material layer (2) of cellulose fibers (4) and a high-loft material layer (3) of synthetic fibers (5), and a method for producing an absorbent structure (1) which is intended for use in an absorbent article. The two layers are held together by being integrated in each other by the fibers (4) of the absorption material (2) extending into cavities in the high-loft material (3). In this method, the absorbent material (2) is mat-formed directly on a high-loft material (3), which is placed on a wire (26). Arranged under the wire (26) there is a suction box (22) which sucks air downwards, the fibers (4) being sucked downwards and penetrating down into the high-loft material (3).
