Abstract: There is provided an intake/distribution layer for personal care products which is a co-apertured distribution layer and a transfer delay layer between them. The co-apertured distribution and transfer delay layer can serve to store liquid and release it to an absorbent core in a personal care product at a rate at which the core can absorb. This ability to accept irregular and large flow rates makes the layer of this invention particularly well suited for “gush” management. The distribution layer is preferably an airlaid fabric and the transfer delay layer is preferably a spunbond fabric and they are co-apertured using a pin density of preferably about 2.5 pins/cm2.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于个人护理产品的进气/分配层，它是共同分布层和它们之间的传递延迟层。 共孔分布和转移延迟层可以用于储存液体并以核心可以吸收的速率将其释放到个人护理产品中的吸收芯上。 这种接受不规则和大流量的能力使得本发明的层特别适合于“喷射”管理。 分布层优选为气流成网织物，并且传输延迟层优选为纺粘织物，并且它们使用优选约2.5针/ cm 2的针密度共同孔。

Abstract: There is provided an absorbent system that not only takes in fluid, but then transfers that fluid further beneath the first composite. This is achieved in this invention through paired permeability, capillarity, and void volume of the first and second composites. The invention is an absorbent system composed of at least two absorbent composites that have complementary structural/surface energy characteristics. Such an absorbent system has a first absorbent Composite A which has a first permeability, a first capillarity, and a first void volume and at least one second absorbent Composite B which has a second capillarity and a second porosity multiplied by second thickness. The first absorbent Composite A is in liquid communication or contact with at least one second absorbent Composite B, such that the first absorbent Composite A, and the second absorbent Composite B have a fluid partitioning amount in Composite A, a third triple intake time (IT3) and a rewet value.
