Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03087457A1] The present invention is directed to a nonwoven fabric comprising reconstituted or regenerated fibers, wherein the nonwoven fabric exhibits improved aesthetic and physical performance, thus permitting use of the fabric in a wide variety of consumer applications. The nonwoven fabric exhibits a three-dimensional image that is durable to both converting and end-use application. In particular, the present invention contemplates that a fabric is formed from a precursor web (P) comprising at least one reconstituted fiber, which when subjected to hydroentanglement on a moveable imaging surface of a three-dimensional image transfer device (24), an enhanced product is achieved.
