Benefits of technology

The present invention pertains to a process for making a nonwoven web by combining spunbond and meltblown processes. This process can produce a strong, cost-effective fabric that is useful in a variety of applications. The nonwoven web can also include an additive that helps reduce static charge. The resulting fabric has a lightweight, fine filament web with an embossed basket weave pattern.

Problems solved by technology

However, conventional binders applied to such fibrous pouches, such as acrylic polymers, are costly to apply to pouches and inhibit biodegradability of the discarded pouch.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 100,687, filed on Jan. 7, 2015, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure relates to a pouched product adapted for oral use and a method of manufacturing thereof.BACKGROUND[0003]Certain types of pouches or sachets have been employed to contain compositions adapted for oral use. For example, tobacco can be enjoyed in a so-called smokeless form. Particularly popular smokeless tobacco products are employed by inserting some form of processed tobacco or tobacco-containing formulation into the mouth of the user. See for example, the types of representative smokeless tobacco products, as well as the various smokeless tobacco formulations, ingredients and processing methodologies, referenced in the background art set forth in U.S. Pat. Pub. Nos. 2011 / 0303511 to Brinkley et al. and 2013 / 0206150 to Duggins et al.; ...
