Abstract

Disclosed are an improved open cell polymer mesh and washing implement made therefrom, which exhibit superior softness, while also retaining good resiliency. To achieve the improved softness and resiliency of the improved washing implement an improved open cell mesh is provided which is softer and sufficiently resilient as a result of its controlled cell structure parameters. In preferred embodiments, the controlled physical parameters of the open cell mesh include basis weight, cell count, node count, node length, node thickness, node width, and cell geometry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to improved extruded apertured meshes and implements made therefrom for bathing, wiping, and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved net and laundry appliance which retains acceptable elasticity while having excellent softness. The optimization of the softness and elasticity of the laundry appliance is accomplished by controlling various physical properties of the extruded mesh. Background of the Invention [0002] It is a known technique to produce extruded apertured meshes which are suitable for swabbing, bathing, etc. due to their inherent roughness or wiping properties. Open cell meshes also generally improve soap lather, especially when using appliances made from open mesh mesh, which can greatly improve liquid soap lather. The roughness of the web is usually caused by the multiple fibers and nodes of the apertured web, and in many cases the rubbing effect or...
