Description

[0001] KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 A PRE-WETTED AND DISPERSIBLE WIPE WITH A BUOYANCY REDUCTION WETTING AGENT BACKGROUND Dispersible moist wipes are generally intended to be used and then flushed down a toilet. Accordingly, flushable moist wipes generally have an in-use strength sufficient to withstand a user's extraction of the wipe from a dispenser and the user's wiping activity, but then relatively quickly breakdown and disperse in household and municipal sanitization systems, such as sewer or septic systems. Some municipalities may define “flushable” through various regulations. Flushable moist wipes must meet such regulations to allow for compatibility with home plumbing fixtures and drain lines, as well as the disposal of the product in onsite and municipal wastewater treatment systems. One challenge for some known flushable moist wipes is the relatively long time for such wipes to lose strength in a sanitation system as compared to conventional, dry toilet tissue. Moreover, some flushable moist wipes may require a relatively long period of time and / or significant agitation within tap water for their post-use strength to decrease sufficiently to allow the wipes to disperse. Attempts to address this issue (i.e., attempts to make the wipes lose strength more quickly in tap water) often reduce the in-use strength of the flushable moist wipes below a minimum level deemed acceptable by users. Some known flushable moist wipes are formed, at least in part, by entangling fibers in a nonwoven web. Such known wipes can require additional structure to improve in-use strength. For example, some known wipes use a net having fibers entangled therewith. The net provides additional cohesion to the entangled fibers for increased in-use strength. However, such nets do not optimally disperse. To facilitate dispersibility of the moist wipes, an ion-sensitive binder may adhere fibers together within the wipe, yielding a relatively high in-use strength. A controlled concentration of salt in the wetting solution insolubilizes the binder and allows the binder to function as an adhesive for the web. When the wet wipe is discarded into a wastewater stream, the salt concentration is diluted, the binder becomes soluble, and the strength drops in order to allow allows the wipe to break apart into small pieces and, ultimately, disperse. However, such binders are relatively costly. Certain flushable moist wipes include a relatively high quantity of regenerated natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers to increase the in-use strength. However, the ability of such wipes to disperse in a timely fashion is correspondingly reduced. In addition, the higher cost of regenerated natural fibers and synthetic fibers relative to natural fibers causes a corresponding increase in cost of such known moist wipes. KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 A dispersible wet wipe formed with entangled fibers in a nonwoven web would be useful. Moreover, a dispersible wet wipe formed with entangled regenerated natural fibers in a nonwoven web would be useful. SUMMARY In general, the present disclosure is directed to a pre-wetted and dispersible wipe that includes regenerated cellulose fibers and wood pulp fibers entangled with one another in a nonwoven web. A wetting solution is applied to the nonwoven web. The wetting solution includes one or both of an amine functional silicone and a polyamine functional silicone. The amine functional silicone and / or the polyamine functional silicone may advantageously reduce buoyancy of the nonwoven web relative to nonwoven webs without the amine functional silicone and / or the polyamine functional silicone. For instance, the amine functional silicone and / or the polyamine functional silicone may act as a defoamer that prevents entrained air bubbles from attaching to the nonwoven web and causing the nonwoven web to float. The presence of the amine functional silicone and / or the polyamine functional silicone may thus facilitate dispersion of the nonwoven web. Moreover, the nonwoven web has a settling rate of at least about two centimeters per second (2 cm / s), e.g., such that the pre-wetted and dispersible wipe meets guidelines and standards, such as INDA, IWSFG, AS / NZS 5328, and / or Water UK Fine to Flush, in particular the INDA FG504 Settling Test. In one example embodiment, a pre-wetted and dispersible wipe includes a plurality of fibers entangled together in order to form a nonwoven web. The plurality of fibers includes no less than twenty percent (20%) regenerated cellulose fibers and no less than fifty percent (50%) wood pulp fibers based on the weight of the nonwoven web. A wetting solution is applied to the nonwoven web. The wetting solution includes one or both of an amine functional silicone and a polyamine functional silicone. At least a portion of the regenerated cellulose fibers and wood pulp fibers are entangled with one another in the nonwoven web. The nonwoven web has a Settling Rate of at least about two centimeters per second. In another example embodiment, a pre-wetted and dispersible wipe includes a plurality of fibers hydroentangled together in order to form a nonwoven web. The plurality of fibers includes no less than thirty percent (30%) regenerated cellulose fibers and no less than fifty percent (50%) wood pulp fibers based on the weight of the nonwoven wed. A wetting solution is applied to the nonwoven web. The wetting solution includes one or both of an amine functional silicone and a polyamine functional silicone. A basis weight of the nonwoven web is no less than seventy grams per square meter (70 gsm) and no greater than one hundred grams per square meter (100 gsm). The nonwoven web has a Settling Rate of at least about two centimeters per second (2 cm / s). KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 In another example embodiment, a pre-wetted and dispersible wipe includes a plurality of fibers hydroentangled together in order to form a nonwoven web. The plurality of fibers include no less than twenty percent (20%) regenerated cellulose fibers and no less than fifty percent (50%) wood pulp fibers based on the weight of the nonwoven web. A wetting solution is applied to the nonwoven web. The wetting solution includes at least one settling agent present within the wetting solution at no less than two-hundredths of a percent (0.02%) and no greater than one percent (1%) by weight of the wetting solution. The at least one settling agent includes one or more of Butoxy PEG-4 PG Amodimethicone, Trideceth-9 PG- Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12, AF-100 Methoxy PEG / PPG-7 / 3 Aminopropyl Dimethicone, PEG-8 Amodimethicone, PEG-7 Amodimethicone, Quaternium-80, Bis- (Isostearoyl / Oleoyl Isopropyl) Dimonium Methosulfate, PEG-40 / PPG-8 Methylaminopropyl / Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Copolymer, and PEG-8 Dimethicone. A basis weight of the nonwoven web is no less than seventy grams per square meter (70 gsm) and no greater than one hundred grams per square meter (100 gsm). The nonwoven web has a Settling Rate of at least about two centimeters per second (2 cm / s). These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present disclosure will become better understood with reference to the following description and appended claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS A full and enabling disclosure of the present disclosure, including the best mode thereof, directed to one of ordinary skill in the art, is set forth in the specification, which makes reference to the appended figures. FIG.1 is top, plan view of a dispersible moist wipe according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG.2 is a schematic of an apparatus for making dispersible moist wipes according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure; FIG.3 is a schematic of a nonwoven web at one location within the example apparatus of FIG.2; and FIG.4 is a schematic of a nonwoven web at another location within the example apparatus of FIG.2. Repeat use of reference characters in the present specification and drawings is intended to represent the same or analogous features or elements of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present discussion is a KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the present disclosure. The present disclosure is generally directed to a pre-wetted and dispersible wipe that includes a hydroentangled web with both regenerated cellulose fibers and wood pulp fibers. The wipe advantageously demonstrates improved flushability, e.g., measured by the IWSFG PAS3 standard test method, due to reduced buoyancy via treatment with a wetting solution that includes one or both of an amine functional silicone and a polyamine functional silicone, such as Butoxypeg-4PG- aminodimethicone. The amine functional silicone and / or polyamine functional silicone may act as a defoamer within the hydroentangled web to reduce buoyancy of the wipe, e.g., by limiting entrainment of air within the hydroentangled web. The amine functional silicone and / or polyamine functional silicone may preferably be present in the wetting solution from about five-hundredths of a percent (0.05%) to about two-tenths of a percent (0.2%) by weight of the wetting solution, which can allow the wipe to advantageously pass settling tests, such as the FG504 settling test, with average settling rates no less than two centimeter per second (2 cm / sec) relative to a pass criteria of one-tenth of a centimeter per second (0.1 cm / sec). Moreover, the wipe may advantageously pass settling tests due to the presence of the amine functional silicone and / or the polyamine functional silicone despite the presence of regenerated cellulose fibers, relatively high basis weight hydroentangled webs, and / or compression of the hydroentangled webs during wetting, all of which can negatively affect settling. It is to be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the present discussion is a description of exemplary embodiments only, and is not intended as limiting the broader aspects of the present disclosure. When introducing elements of the present disclosure or the preferred embodiment(s) thereof, the articles “a”, “an”, “the” and “said” are intended to mean that there are one or more of the elements. As used herein, the terms “includes” and “including” are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “comprising.” Similarly, the term “or” is generally intended to be inclusive (i.e., “A or B” is intended to mean “A or B or both”). Approximating language, as used herein throughout the specification and claims, is applied to modify any quantitative representation that could permissibly vary without resulting in a change in the basic function to which it is related. Accordingly, a value modified by a term or terms, such as “about,” “approximately,” and “substantially,” are not to be limited to the precise value specified. In at least some instances, the approximating language may correspond to the precision of an instrument for measuring the value. For example, the approximating language may refer to being within a ten percent (10%) margin. KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 Definitions: As used herein, the term “basis weight” generally refers to the conditioned weight per unit area of a tissue and is generally expressed as grams per square meter (gsm). The term “fluid entangling”, and “fluid-entangled” generally refers herein to a formation process for further increasing the degree of fiber entanglement within a given fibrous nonwoven web or between fibrous nonwoven webs and other materials so as to make the separation of the individual fibers and / or the layers more difficult as a result of the entanglement. Generally, this is accomplished by supporting the fibrous nonwoven web on some type of forming or carrier surface which has at least some degree of permeability to the impinging pressurized fluid. A pressurized fluid stream (usually multiple streams) is then directed against the surface of the nonwoven web which is opposite the supported surface of the web. The pressurized fluid contacts the fibers and forces portions of the fibers in the direction of the fluid flow thus displacing all or a portion of a plurality of the fibers towards the supported surface of the web. The result is a further entanglement of the fibers in what can be termed the Z-direction of the web (the thickness) relative to its more planar dimension, the X-Y plane. When two or more separate webs or other layers are placed adjacent one another on the forming / carrier surface and subjected to the pressurized fluid, the generally desired result is that some of the fibers of at least one of the webs are forced into the adjacent web or layer thereby causing fiber entanglement between the interfaces of the two surfaces so as to result in the bonding or joining of the webs / layers together due to the increased entanglement of the fibers. The degree of bonding or entanglement will depend on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the types of fibers being used, the fiber lengths, the degree of pre-bonding or entanglement of the web or webs prior to subjection to the fluid entangling process, the type of fluid being used (liquids, such as water, steam or gases, such as air), the pressure of the fluid, the number of fluid streams, the speed of the process, the dwell time of the fluid and the porosity of the web or webs / other layers and the forming / carrier surface. One of the most common fluid entangling processes is referred to as hydroentangling, which is a well-known process to those of ordinary skill in the art of nonwoven webs. Examples of fluid entangling process can be found in U.S. Pat. No.4,939,016 to Radwanski et al., U.S. Pat. No. 3,485,706 to Evans, and U.S. Pat. Nos.4,970,104 and 4,959,531 to Radwanski, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference thereto for all purposes. The term “gsm” refers herein to grams per square meter. The term “nonwoven” refers herein to materials and webs of material which are formed without the aid of a textile weaving or knitting process. The materials and webs of materials can have a structure of individual fibers, filaments, or threads (collectively referred to as “fibers”) which can be interlaid, but not in an identifiable manner as in a knitted fabric. Nonwoven materials or webs can be KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 formed from many processes such as, but not limited to, meltblowing processes, entangling processes, spunbonding processes, carded web processes, etc. As used herein the term “machine direction” or “MD” generally refers to the direction in which a tissue web or product is produced. The term “cross-machine direction” or “CD” refers to the direction perpendicular to the machine direction. As used herein, the term “pulp” generally refers to a plurality of cellulose fibers that have undergone a pulping process such that the fibers have become individualized and have an elongate shape in which the apparent length exceeds the apparent width. Pulp fibers can be fibrillated and can have a measurable freeness. As used herein, the term “essentially free of” when used to describe the amount of substance in a material is not to be limited to entirely or completely free of and may correspond to a lack of any appreciable or detectable amount of the recited substance in the material. Thus, e.g., a material is “essentially free of” a substance when the amount of the substance in the material is less than the precision of an industry-accepted instrument or test for measuring the amount of the substance in the material. In certain example embodiments, a material may be “essentially free of” a substance when the amount of the substance in the material is less than 0.01% by weight of the material. Dispersible Wipe: The dispersible moist wipes of the current disclosure may have sufficient strength to withstand packaging and consumer use. The dispersible moist wipes also lose strength sufficiently quickly. Moreover, the dispersible moist wipes of the current disclosure may include a settling agent to assist with reducing buoyancy of the wipes and facilitate settling of the wipes, as discussed in greater detail below. FIG.1 is a top, plan view of an example embodiment of a dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. The dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 includes a nonwoven fibrous web 11 with a plurality to fibers 13. The fibers 13 include a mixture of natural cellulose fibers 14 and regenerated cellulose fibers 16. The natural cellulose fibers 14 are cellulosic fibers derived from woody or non-woody plants including, but not limited to, southern softwood kraft, northern softwood kraft, softwood sulfite pulp, cotton, cotton linters, bamboo, and the like. In example embodiments, the natural fibers 14 may have a length- weighted average fiber length greater than about one (1) millimeter. Furthermore, the natural fibers 14 may have a length-weighted average fiber length greater than about two (2) millimeters. In other suitable example embodiments, the natural fibers 14 may be short fibers having a fiber length between about a half (0.5) millimeter and about one and a half (1.5) millimeters. KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 At least some of the natural cellulose fibers 14 may be fibrillated. In one suitable example embodiment, at least fifty (50) percent by weight of the natural cellulose fibers 14 are fibrillated. In one example embodiment, all of the natural cellulose fibers 14 are fibrillated. That is, in one preferred example embodiment, one hundred (100) percent by weight of the natural cellulose fibers 14 are fibrillated. Thus, it is contemplated that in some example embodiments the percentage of natural cellulose fibers 14 by weight that is fibrillated may vary anywhere between fifty (50) and one hundred (100). Fibrillation of the natural cellulose fibers 14 results in segments (or portions) of the outer surface of the natural cellulose fibers 14 to be partially detach from the main fiber structure and become fibrils. The fibrils are typically attached at one end to the main fiber structure and extend outward from the main fiber structure to a free end. As can be readily appreciated and described in more detail below, the fibrils provide additional fiber structure to engage and otherwise bond (e.g., entanglement, hydrogen bonding) to other fibers (including other fibrils) in dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. Fibrillation of the natural cellulose fibers 14 may be done using any suitable technique known in the art. Thus, the natural cellulose fibers 14 may be fibrillated using mechanical agitation, chemical treatment, or combinations thereof. In one suitable example embodiment, fibrillation of the natural cellulose fibers 14 may be done using a refiner, which mechanically agitates the fibers. It is noted, that the length of the natural cellulose fibers 14 should be preserved during the fibrillation process. Accordingly, the natural cellulose fibers 14 should retain length during the fibrillation process such that following fibrillation the length of the fibers are substantially the same as before fibrillation. The regenerated fibers 16 are man-made filaments obtained by extruding or otherwise treating regenerated or modified cellulosic materials from woody or non-woody plants, as is known in the art. For example, but not by way of limitation, the regenerated fibers 16 may include one or more of lyocell, rayon, and the like. In some example embodiments, the regenerated fibers 16 have a fiber length in the range of about three (3) to about twenty (20) millimeters. Furthermore, the regenerated fibers 16 may have a fiber length in the range of about six (6) to about twelve (12) millimeters. In one suitable example embodiment, the regenerated fibers 16 are not mechanically treated to alter or otherwise affect the shape the fiber. More specifically, the regenerated fibers 16 may not be fibrillated. In some example embodiments, it is contemplated to use synthetic fibers in combination with the regenerated fibers 16. For example, but not by way of limitation, the synthetic fibers may include one or more of nylon, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and the like. In some example embodiments, the synthetic fibers have a fiber length in the range of about three (3) to about twenty (20) millimeters. Furthermore, the synthetic fibers may have a fiber length in the range of about six (6) to about twelve KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 (12) millimeters. In one suitable example embodiment, the synthetic fibers are not mechanically treated to alter or otherwise affect the shape the fiber. More specifically, the synthetic fibers may not be fibrillated. In example embodiments, the nonwoven fibrous web 11 may have a basis weight from about seventy grams per square meter (70 gsm) to about one hundred and twenty grams per square meter (120 gsm). In some preferred example embodiments, the nonwoven fibrous web 11 may have a basis weight from about seventy-five grams per square meter (75 gsm) to about one hundred grams per square meter (100 gsm). For instance, the nonwoven fibrous web 11 may have a basis weight of about eighty grams per square meter (80 gsm). As described in greater detail below, the fibers of the nonwoven tissue web 11 may be substantially hydroentangled. Suitably, no binder (i.e., chemical binding agent) is used to supplement or otherwise increase the bonds between the fibers 14, 16 of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. Thus, the nonwoven tissue web 11 may be free or essentially free of binder (e.g., and associated binder insolubilizing salt in the liquid wipe composition), such as ion-triggerable polymer binder, conventionally used to bond fibers in certain non-hydroentangled tissue webs. In contrast, the primary bonds between the fibers 14, 16 of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 are created through hydroentangling. The fibrils created by fibrillating fifty percent (50%) or more (by weight) of the natural cellulose fibers 14 may facilitate greater bonding between the fibers 13 through increased hydroentanglement and thus increased strength as compared to using non-frillated natural cellulose fibers 14. As mentioned above, the regenerated cellulose fibers 16 (and any synthetic fibers if used) are not fibrillated. In one suitable example embodiment, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 has a wet cross- direction tensile strength greater than about two hundred gram-force (200 gf) and, more preferably, greater than about two hundred and fifty gram-force (250 gf). Suitably, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 may have a wet cross-direction tensile strength between about two hundred gram-force (200 gf) and six hundred gram-force (600 gf) and, more preferably, between about two hundred and fifty gram- force (250 gf) and about four hundred gram-force (400 gf). In one example embodiment, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 has a wet machine-direction tensile strength is greater than the wet cross-direction tensile strength. In one suitable embodiment, for example, the wet machine-direction tensile strength is at least twenty-five percent (25%) greater than the wet cross-direction tensile strength. Preferably, the wet machine-direction tensile strength is at least fifty percent (50%) greater than the wet cross-direction tensile strength and, even more preferably, at least seventy-five percent (75%) greater. In one suitable example embodiment, the wet machine-direction tensile strength is at least one hundred percent (100%) greater than the wet cross- KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 direction tensile strength. Suitably, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 may have a wet machine- direction tensile strength is greater than two hundred and fifty gram-force (250 gf), more preferably greater than about three hundred gram-force (300 gf), and even more preferably greater than three hundred and fifty gram-force (350 gf). In one suitable example embodiment, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 has a wet machine-direction tensile strength between about two hundred and fifty gram-force (250 gf) and one thousand gram-force (1000 gf) and, more preferably, between about three hundred gram-force (300 gf) and about eight hundred gram-force (800). In addition to the nonwoven web 11, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 also contains a wetting agent or liquid wipe composition described herein. The liquid wet wipe composition may be any liquid, which can be absorbed into the nonwoven web 11 and may include any suitable components, which provide the desired wiping properties. For example, the components may include water, emollients, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, organic or inorganic acids, chelating agents, pH buffers, or combinations thereof, as are well known to those skilled in the art. Further, the liquid may also contain lotions, medicaments, and / or antimicrobials. In one example, the liquid wipe compositions may contain water. The liquid wipe compositions can suitably contain water in an amount from about 0.1% (by weight of the composition) to about 99.9% (by weight of the composition), more typically from about 40% (by weight of the composition) to about 99% (by weight of the composition), and more preferably from about 60% (by weight of the composition) to about 99.9% (by weight of the composition). For instance, where the composition is used in connection with a wet wipe, the composition can suitably contain water in an amount from about 75% (by weight of the composition) to about 99.9% (by weight of the composition). The liquid wipe compositions may further contain additional agents that impart a beneficial effect on skin or hair and / or further act to improve the aesthetic feel of the compositions and wipes described herein.

The liquid wipe composition may include an emollient in an amount from about 0.01% (by weight of the composition) to about 20% (by weight of the composition), more desirably from about 0.05% (by weight of the composition) to about 10% (by weight of the composition), and more typically from about 0.1% (by weight of the composition) to about 5% (by weight of the composition). One or more viscosity enhancers may also be added to the liquid wipe composition to increase the viscosity, to help stabilize the composition thereby reducing migration of the composition and improving transfer to the skin. Suitable viscosity enhancers include polyolefin resins, lipophilic / oil thickeners, polyethylene, silica, silica silylate, silica methyl silylate, colloidal silicone dioxide, cetyl hydroxy ethyl cellulose, other organically modified celluloses, PVP / decane copolymer, PVM / MA decadiene crosspolymer, PVP / eicosene copolymer, PVP / hexadecane copolymer, clays, starches, gums, water-soluble acrylates, carbomers, acrylate based thickeners, surfactant thickeners, and combinations thereof.

The C8-18 alkyl group can be straight chain (e.g., lauryl) or branched (e.g., 2-ethylhexyl). The cation of the anionic surfactant can be an alkali metal (e.g., sodium or potassium), ammonium, C1-4 alkylammonium (e.g., mono-, di-, tri-), or C1-3 alkanolammonium (e.g., mono-, di-, tri-).

Cationic surfactants, such as cetylpyridinium chloride and methylbenzethonium chloride, may also be utilized. The liquid wipe compositions may also further contain additional emulsifiers. As mentioned above, the natural fatty acids, esters and alcohols and their derivatives, and combinations thereof, may act as emulsifiers in the composition. Optionally, the composition may contain an additional emulsifier other than the natural fatty acids, esters and alcohols and their derivatives, and combinations thereof. Examples of suitable emulsifiers include nonionic emulsifiers such as polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, anionic emulsifiers such as DEA phosphate, cationic emulsifiers such as behentrimonium methosulfate, and the like. The composition of the present disclosure may suitably include one or more additional emulsifier in an amount from about 0.01% (by weight of the composition) to about 10% (by weight of the composition). KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 For example, nonionic surfactants may be used as an emulsifier. Nonionic surfactants typically have a hydrophobic base, such as a long chain alkyl group or an alkylated aryl group, and a hydrophilic chain comprising a certain number (e.g., 1 to about 30) of ethoxy and / or propoxy moieties. Examples of some classes of nonionic surfactants that can be used include, but are not limited to, ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated and propoxylated fatty alcohols, polyethylene glycol ethers of methyl glucose, polyethylene glycol ethers of sorbitol, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers, ethoxylated esters of fatty (C8-18) acids, condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain amines or amides, condensation products of ethylene oxide with alcohols, and mixtures thereof.

The liquid wipe compositions may also further contain preservatives. Suitable preservatives for use in the present compositions may include, for instance, Kathon CG, which is a mixture of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone available from Rohm & Haas of Philadelphia, Pa.; Neolone 950®, which is methylisothiazolinone available from Rohm & Haas of Philadelphia, Pa., DMDM hydantoin (e.g., Glydant Plus available from Lonza, Inc. of Fair Lawn, N.J.); iodopropynyl butylcarbamate; benzoic esters (parabens), such as methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben, benzylparaben, sodium methylparaben, and sodium propylparaben; 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol; benzoic acid; imidazolidinyl urea; diazolidinyl urea; and the like. Still other preservatives may include ethylhexylglycerin, phenoxyethanol caprylyl glycol, a blend of 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol and tropolone, and a blend of phenoxyethanol and tropolone. The wet wipes, as disclosed herein, do not require organic solvents to maintain in-use strength, and the liquid wipe composition may be substantially free of organic solvents. Organic solvents may produce a greasy after-feel and cause irritation in higher amounts. However, small amounts of organic solvents may be included in the liquid wipe composition for different purposes KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 other than maintaining in-use wet strength. In one embodiment, small amounts of organic solvents (less than about 1%) may be utilized as fragrance or preservative solubilizers to improve process and shelf stability of the liquid wipe composition. The liquid wipe composition may desirably contain less than about 5 weight percent of organic solvents, such as propylene glycol and other glycols, polyhydroxy alcohols, and the like, based on the total weight of the liquid wipe composition. More desirably, the liquid wipe composition may contain less than about 3 weight percent of organic solvents. Even more desirably, the liquid wipe composition may contain less than about 1 weight percent of organic solvents. Settling Agent To facilitate flushability of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80, the liquid wipe composition may also include a settling agent with one or both of an amine functional silicone and a polyamine functional silicone. The settling agent may advantageously reduce buoyancy of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. For instance, the settling agent may act as a defoamer that prevents entrained air bubbles from attaching to the nonwoven fibrous web 11 and causing the nonwoven fibrous web 11 to float. As described above, the nonwoven fibrous web 11 may include regenerated cellulose fibers 16, and the presence of the regenerated cellulose fibers 16 in the nonwoven fibrous web 11, particularly at thirty percent (30%) or greater by weight, can negatively affect settling of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. Relative to wipes without regenerated cellulose fibers or low amounts of regenerated cellulose fibers, wipes with high regenerated cellulose fiber content (particularly thirty percent or greater by weight regenerated cellulose fibers) can require higher basis weight for strength generation at lower entangling energy needed to achieve dispersibility; however, the increased basis weight, e.g., eighty grams per square meter (80 gsm) or greater, also negatively affects settling. Moreover, settling can also be negatively affected by converting processes that compress the web, which is common during application of the liquid wipe composition. By providing the settling agent within the liquid wipe composition of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80, the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80 can achieve desired dispersibility despite the presence of the regenerated cellulose fibers 16, a relatively high basis weight of the nonwoven fibrous web 11, and / or compression of the nonwoven fibrous web 11 during application of the liquid wipe composition. The liquid wipe composition may suitably include the settling agent in an amount from about two-hundredths of a percent (0.02%) to about one percent (1%) by weight of the liquid wipe composition. In certain example embodiments, the liquid wipe composition may suitably include the settling agent in an amount from about five-hundredths of a percent (0.05%) to about a half percent (0.5%) by weight of the liquid wipe composition. In preferred example embodiments, the liquid wipe KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 composition may suitably include the settling agent in an amount from about five-hundredths of a percent (0.05%) to about two-tenths percent (0.2%) by weight of the liquid wipe composition. Such concentrations may advantageously provide the desired dispersibility despite the presence of the regenerated cellulose fibers 16, a relatively high basis weight of the nonwoven fibrous web 11, and / or compression of the nonwoven fibrous web 11 during application of the liquid wipe composition. In example embodiments, the settling agent may include one or more of Butoxy PEG-4 PG Amodimethicone, Trideceth-9 PG- Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12, AF-100 Methoxy PEG / PPG-7 / 3 Aminopropyl Dimethicone, PEG-8 Amodimethicone, PEG-7 Amodimethicone, Quaternium-80, Bis- (Isostearoyl / Oleoyl Isopropyl) Dimonium Methosulfate, PEG-40 / PPG-8 Methylaminopropyl / Hydroxypropyl Dimethicone Copolymer, and PEG-8 Dimethicone. Each of the above recited compounds has been advantageously found to reduce buoyancy of the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. The example settling agents recited above may be used individually or in any suitable combination in various example embodiments. Further, it will be understood that other amine functional silicone and / or polyamine functional silicone are also within the scope of the present subject matter. For instance, the settling agent may include an organopolysiloxane. Polysiloxanes encompass a very broad class of compounds. They are characterized in having a general backbone structure: Wherein R′ and R″ may be a broad range non-organo groups including mixtures of such groups and where a is an integer ≧2. These polysiloxanes may be linear or branched. They may include a wide variety of polysiloxane copolymers containing various compositions of functional groups. Hence, R′ and R″ actually may represent many different types of groups within the same polymer molecule. The scope of the present invention should not be construed as limited by a particular polysiloxane structure so long as that polysiloxane structure delivers the aforementioned product benefits to the basesheet and / or final tissue product. In addition to the general backbone structure, functionalization of the polysiloxane can occur in the main chain of the polymer (side-chain functional polysiloxanes), at the chain ends (end-chain functional polysiloxanes), or both (fully functional polysiloxanes). A more general structure for the functionalized polysiloxane includes both the side-chain and the end-chain structural variation: Desirably, the Especially preferred are polyether organopolysiloxanes and amino-functional organopolysiloxanes, or mixed amino-polyether KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 polysiloxanes. Linear or branched organopolysiloxanes are within the scope of the present invention. Linear end-chain functionalized organopolysiloxanes are preferred. Most preferred polysiloxanes are linear end-chain functionalized organofunctional polysiloxanes with a level of organofunctionality sufficient to provide distribution within an aqueous medium, but insufficient to compromise the performance derived from the general non-organopolysiloxane portion of the polymer. Amino- functional organopolysiloxanes are derived to include fully substituted amine functional organopolysiloxanes, as well as quaternary amine and amphoteric functional organopolysiloxanes. Preferred specific examples of organopolysiloxanes include those represented by the following structure: wherein p+q=0 to 2000; R1group or hydroxyl 2 group; R independently a group or group, or independently represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group functional in amine, polyether, quaternary or polyampholyte; and R3independently represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group or hydroxyl group, or independently represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group functional in amine, polyether, quaternary or polyampholyte. It should be noted that there is some variability in the designation of the terminus of the polymer chains. Where sidechain substitution of the polysiloxane is predominant, the polymer terminus units may be comprised of —Si(R2)3radicals. For strictly end-chain substituted polymers, the polymer terminus units may be comprised of —Si(R3)2R2radicals and q would have a value of zero. Additional structural features and examples of the polymers for use as the organopolysiloxane will be illustrated as each class of functional groups is described. It should be pointed out that for the preferred polysiloxane compositions, some level of solubility or dispersibility of the polysiloxane in water is desired. It should also be pointed out that the organopolysiloxane functionality included in the polysiloxane is the radical of the polymer that imparts water solubility. In addition, the level of substitution, the length of the organo-substitution, and the location of the organo-substitution all influence the ultimate solubility or dispersibility of the polysiloxane in water. Since there is so much potential variability in structure possible to describe the polymers of all organopolysiloxanes, it is not possible to address all compositions with a single general composition of specified substitution ranges. It is therefore necessary to describe the general structural features of the preferred organopolysiloxane polymers, and further specify that the average level of substitution and KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 length of substitution must combine to impart the buoyancy reduction characteristics that deliver the aforementioned product improvements to the dispersible nonwoven wipe 80. Examples of monovalent hydrocarbon groups as R1include alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy groups. As R1, C1-3alkyl groups (particularly methyl group) and C1-15alkoxy groups are preferred. Further examples of R1radicals include —OCH3, —OCH2CH3, —OH. Examples of monovalent hydrocarbon groups as R2and R3include alkyl, aryl, and alkoxy groups. As R2and R3, C1-3alkyl groups (particularly methyl group) and C1-15alkoxy groups are preferred. Further examples of R2and R3radicals include, —OCH3, —OCH2CH3, —OH. In addition, R2and R3can independently represent a hydrocarbon group selected from the group that is functional in amine, polyether, quaternary and / or polyampholyte. These structures will be further described separately. R2and R3can independently represent a monovalent organic group containing at least one polyether radical. Examples of monovalent organic group containing polyether radicals as R3include: wherein R4is a divalent a monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms or hydrogen; the ratio of a to b is from 0 to 1; and a+b=from 2 to 20. R2and R3can also represent a monovalent organic group containing at least one amine radical. In addition the amine functional R3can be further functional with additional polyether functionality. Examples of monovalent organic group containing amine and amine / polyether radicals as R3include: wherein R4is a divalent6 R is either hydrogen, or a monovalent polyether functional hydrocarbon radical, exemplified here: wherein R5is a monovalent or hydrogen. Other structures for R2and R3incorporating amine and amine / polyether functionality into the polysiloxane may also be included. R2and R3can independently represent a monovalent organic group containing at least one quaternary amine radical. An exemplary monovalent organic group containing quaternary amine radicals as R3includes: KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 wherein R4is a divalent and R5is a monovalent hydrocarbon group of 1 to 10 Other structures for R2and R3incorporating quaternary amine functionality into the polysiloxane may also be included. R2and R3can be functional in polyampholyte and independently represent a monovalent organic group containing at least one amphoteric radical. Examples of monovalent organic group containing amphoteric radicals as R3include: As a specific example, KF-889®, a etsu Silicones of America, Inc. of Akron, Ohio, may be used as the Formation System and Method: FIG.2 is a schematic view of one suitable example embodiment of an apparatus, indicated generally at 10, for making a dispersible nonwoven sheet 80, including one or more dispersible moist wipes in FIG.1. In FIG.2, the sheet 80 may include a continuous web of interconnected dispersible moist wipe or a single dispersible moist wipe of a plurality of discrete moist wipes being made by the apparatus 10. The apparatus 10 is configured to form the nonwoven fibrous web 11 including the mixture of natural cellulose fibers 14 and regenerated cellulose fibers 16. In making the nonwoven sheet 80, as illustrated in FIG.2, the natural fibers 14 and regenerated fibers 16 are dispersed in a liquid suspension 20 to a headbox 12. A liquid medium 18 used to form the liquid suspension 20 may be any liquid medium known in the art that is compatible with the process as described herein, for example, water. In some embodiments, a consistency of the liquid suspension 20 is in the range of about two-hundredths (0.02) to about eight-hundredths (0.08) percent fiber by weight. Moreover, the consistency of the liquid suspension 20 may be in the range of about three-hundredths (0.03) to about five-hundredths (0.05) percent fiber by weight. In one suitable example embodiment, the consistency of the liquid suspension 20 after the natural fibers 14 and the regenerated fibers 16 are added is about three-hundredths (0.03) percent fiber by weight. A relatively low consistency of the liquid suspension 20 at the headbox 12 is believed to enhance mixing of the natural fibers 14 and the regenerated fibers 16 and, therefore, enhances a formation quality of the nonwoven web 11. KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 In one suitable example embodiment, of the total weight of fibers present in the liquid suspension 20, a ratio of natural fibers 14 and regenerated fibers 16 is about fifty (50) to about eighty (80) percent by weight natural fibers 14 and about twenty (20) to about forty (40) percent by weight regenerated fibers 16. In another suitable embodiment, of the total weight of fibers present in the liquid suspension 20, the ratio of natural fibers 14 and regenerated fibers 16 is about sixty (60) to about eighty (80) percent by weight natural fibers 14 and about twenty (20) to about thirty (30) percent by weight regenerated fibers 16. In one suitable example, of the total weight of fibers present in the liquid suspension 20, the natural fibers 14 may be eighty (80) percent of the total weight and the regenerated fibers 16 may be twenty (20) percent of the total weight. In another suitable embodiment, of the total weight of fibers present in the liquid suspension 20, a ratio of synthetic fibers, natural fibers 14, and regenerated fibers 16 is about zero (0) to about ten (10) percent by weight synthetic fibers, about twenty (20) to about forty (40) percent by weight regenerated cellulose fibers, and between about fifty (50) to about eighty (80) percent natural cellulose fibers. As mentioned above, it is contemplated that the sheet 80 can be free or essentially free of synthetic fibers. The headbox 12 is configured to deposit the liquid suspension 20 onto a foraminous forming wire 22, which retains the fibers to form the nonwoven fibrous web 11. In an example embodiment, the headbox 12 is configured to operate in a low-consistency mode as is described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,588,663 issued to Skoog et al., which is herein incorporated by reference. The forming wire 22 carries the nonwoven fibrous web 11 in a direction of travel, which is indicated by arrow 24. A longitudinal axis of the nonwoven fibrous web 11 is aligned with the direction of travel 24 and is hereinafter referred to as “machine direction,” and a transverse axis, which is perpendicular to the machine direction, is hereinafter referred to as “cross-machine direction”, which is indicated by arrow 25 (FIG.3). In some embodiments, the apparatus 10 is configured to draw a portion of the remaining liquid dispersing medium 18 out of the wet nonwoven fibrous web 11 as the web travels along the forming wire 22, such as by the operation of a vacuum box 26. The apparatus 10 also may be configured to transfer the nonwoven fibrous web 11 from the forming wire 22 to a transfer wire 28. In some example embodiments, the transfer wire 28 carries the nonwoven web in the machine direction 24 under a first plurality of jets 30. The first plurality of jets 30 may be produced by a first manifold 32 with at least one row of first orifices 34 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25 (FIG.3). The first manifold 32 is configured to supply a liquid, such as water, at a first pressure to the first orifices 34 to produce a columnar jet 30 at each first orifice 34. In some example embodiments, the first pressure is in the range of about twenty (20) to about one KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 hundred and twenty-five (125) bars. In one suitable example embodiment, the first pressure is between about forty (40) and sixty (60) bars. In one suitable example embodiment, each first orifice 34 is of circular shape with a diameter in the range of about ninety (90) to about one hundred and fifty (150) micrometers. In one suitable embodiment, for example, each first orifice 34 has a diameter of about one hundred and twenty (120) micrometers. In addition, each first orifice 34 may be spaced apart from an adjacent first orifice 34 by a first distance 36 along the cross-machine direction 25. In some example embodiments, the first distance 36 is such that a first region 38 of fibers of the nonwoven fibrous web 11 displaced by each jet of the first plurality of jets 30 does not overlap substantially with a second region 40 of fibers displaced by the adjacent one of the first plurality of jets 30, as illustrated schematically in FIG.3. Instead, the fibers in each of the first region 38 and the second region 40 are substantially displaced in a direction along an axis, which is indicated in FIG.3 by arrow 46, perpendicular to the plane of nonwoven fibrous web 11 (i.e., the z-direction), but are not significantly hydroentangled with laterally adjacent fibers. In some example embodiments, the first distance 36 is in the range of about one thousand, two hundred (1200) to about two thousand, four hundred (2400) micrometers. In one suitable example embodiment, the first distance 36 is about one thousand, eight hundred (1800) micrometers. In other suitable example embodiments, the first plurality of jets 30 may be produced by first orifices 34 having any shape, or any jet nozzle and pressurization arrangement, that is configured to produce a row of columnar jets 30 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25 in like fashion. Additional ones of the first plurality of jets 30 optionally may be produced by additional manifolds, such as a second manifold 44 shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG.2, spaced apart from the first manifold 32 in the machine direction 24. A foraminous support fabric 42 is configured such that the nonwoven fibrous web 11 may be transferred from the transfer wire 28 to the support fabric 42. In an example embodiment, the support fabric 42 carries the nonwoven fibrous web 11 in the machine direction 24 under the second manifold 44. It should be understood that the number and placement of transport wires or transport fabrics, such as the forming wire 22, the transport wire 28, and the support fabric 42, may be varied in other example embodiments. For example, but not by way of limitation, the first manifold 32 may be located to treat the nonwoven fibrous web 11 while the nonwoven fibrous web 11 is carried on the support fabric 42, rather than on the transfer wire 28, or conversely the second manifold 44 may be located to treat the nonwoven fibrous web 11 while the nonwoven fibrous web 11 is carried on the transfer wire 28, rather than on the support fabric 42. In another example, one of the forming wire 22, the transport wire 28, and the support fabric 42 may be KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 combined with another in a single wire or fabric, or any one may be implemented as a series of cooperating wires and transport fabrics rather than as a single wire or transport fabric. In some example embodiments, the second manifold 44, like the first manifold 32, includes at least one row of first orifices 34 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25. The second manifold 44 is configured to supply a liquid, such as water, at a second pressure to the first orifices 34 to produce a columnar jet 30 at each first orifice 34. In some example embodiments, the second pressure is in the range of about twenty (20) to about one hundred and twenty-five (125) bars. In one suitable example embodiment, the second pressure is between about forty (40) and sixty (60) bars. Moreover, in some example embodiments, each first orifice 34 is of circular shape, and each first orifice 34 is spaced apart from an adjacent first orifice 34 by a first distance 36 along the cross- machine direction 25, as shown in FIG.3 for the first manifold 32. In other example embodiments, the second manifold 44 may be configured in any other fashion such that a first region of fibers of nonwoven fibrous web 11 displaced by each jet of the first plurality of jets 30 does not overlap substantially with a second region of fibers displaced by the adjacent one of the first plurality of jets 30. With reference again to FIG.2, the support fabric 42 carries the nonwoven fibrous web 11 in the machine direction 24 under a second plurality of jets 50. The second plurality of jets 50 may be produced by a third manifold 52 with at least one row of second orifices 54 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25. The third manifold 52 is configured to supply a liquid, such as water, at a third pressure to the second orifices 54 to produce a columnar jet 50 at each third orifice 54. In some example embodiments, the third pressure is in the range of about twenty (20) to about one hundred and twenty-five (125) bars. In one suitable example embodiment, the third pressure may be in the range of about forty (40) to about sixty (60) bars. In some embodiments, each second orifice 54 is of circular shape with a diameter in the range of about ninety (90) to about one hundred and fifty (150) micrometers. Moreover, each second orifice 54 may have a diameter of about one hundred and twenty (120) micrometers. In addition, each second orifice 54 may be spaced apart from an adjacent second orifice 54 by a second distance 56 along the cross-machine direction 25, as illustrated in FIG.4, and the second distance 56 is such that the fibers of the nonwoven fibrous web 11 become substantially hydroentangled. In some example embodiments, the second distance 56 is in the range of about four hundred (400) to about one thousand (1000) micrometers. Further, the second distance 56 may be in the range of about five hundred (500) to about seven hundred (700) micrometers. In an example embodiment, the second distance 56 is about six hundred (600) micrometers. In other suitable example embodiments, the second plurality of jets 50 may be produced by second orifices 54 having any shape, or any jet nozzle KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 and pressurization arrangement, that is configured to produce a row of columnar jets 50 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25 in like fashion. Additional ones of the second plurality of jets 50 optionally may be produced by additional manifolds, such as a fourth manifold 60 and a fifth manifold 62 shown in the exemplary embodiment of FIG.2. Each of the fourth manifold 60 and the fifth manifold 62 have at least one row of second orifices 54 spaced apart along the cross-machine direction 25. In an example embodiment, the fourth manifold 60 and the fifth manifold 62 each are configured to supply a liquid, such as water, at the third pressure (that is, the pressure at third manifold 52) to the second orifices 54 to produce a columnar jet 50 at each third orifice 54. In other suitable example embodiments, each of the fourth manifold 60 and the fifth manifold 62 may supply the liquid at a pressure other than the third pressure. Moreover, in some example embodiments, each second orifice 54 is of circular shape with a diameter in the range of about ninety (90) to about one hundred and fifty (150) micrometers, and each second orifice 54 is spaced apart from an adjacent second orifice 54 by a second distance 56 along the cross-machine direction 25, as with third manifold 52. In other example embodiments, the fourth manifold 60 and the fifth manifold 62 each may be configured in any other fashion such as to produce jets 50 that cause the fibers of nonwoven fibrous web 11 to become substantially hydroentangled. It should be recognized that, although the example embodiment shown in FIG.2 has two pre- entangling manifolds 32, 44 and three hydroentangling manifolds 52, 60, 62, any number of additional pre-entangling manifolds and / or hydroentangling manifolds may be used. In particular, each of the forming wire 22, the transfer wire 28, and the support fabric 42 carry the nonwoven fibrous web 11 in the direction of machine travel at a respective speed, and as those respective speeds are increased, additional manifolds may be necessary to impart a desired hydroentangling energy to the nonwoven fibrous web 11. It is contemplated that in some suitable example embodiments, one or both the pre- entangling manifolds 32, 44 can be omitted. It is further contemplated that fewer than three (3) hydroentangling manifolds 52, 60, 62 can be provided in other suitable example embodiments. The apparatus 10 illustrated in FIG.2 also may be configured to remove a desired portion of the remaining fluid, for example water, from the nonwoven fibrous web 11 after the hydroentanglement process to produce a dispersible nonwoven sheet 80. In some example embodiments, the hydroentangled nonwoven fibrous web 11 is transferred from the support fabric 42 to a through-drying fabric 72, which carries the nonwoven fibrous web 11 through a through-air dryer 70. In some example embodiments, the through-drying fabric 72 is a coarse, highly permeable fabric. The through-air dryer 70 is configured to pass hot air through the nonwoven fibrous web 11 to remove a desired amount of fluid. Thus, the through-air dryer 70 provides a relatively non-compressive method of drying the nonwoven fibrous web 11 to produce the dispersible nonwoven sheet 80. In other suitable example KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 embodiments, other methods may be used as a substitute for, or in conjunction with, the through-air dryer 70 to remove a desired amount of remaining fluid from the nonwoven fibrous web 11 to form the dispersible nonwoven sheet 80. Furthermore, in some suitable example embodiments, the dispersible nonwoven sheet 80 may be wound on a reel (not shown) to facilitate storage and / or transport prior to further processing. The dispersible nonwoven sheet 80 may then be processed as desired, for example, infused with a wetting composition including any combination of water, emollients, surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, organic or inorganic acids, chelating agents, pH buffers, the settling agent(s) described above, and the like. The finished wet wipes may be individually packaged, desirably in a folded condition, in a moisture proof envelope or packaged in containers holding any desired number of sheets in a water- tight package with a wetting composition applied to the wipe. Some example processes which can be used to manufacture folded wet wipes are described in U.S. Pat. Nos.5,540,332 and 6,905,748, which are incorporated by reference herein. The finished wipes may also be packaged as a roll of separable sheets in a moisture-proof container holding any desired number of sheets on the roll with a wetting composition applied to the wipes. The roll may be coreless and either hollow or solid. Coreless rolls, including rolls with a hollow center or without a solid center, may be produced with known coreless roll winders, including those of SRP Industry, Inc. of San Jose, Calif.; Shimizu Manufacturing of Japan, and the devices disclosed in U.S. Pat. No.4,667,890. U.S. Pat. No.6,651,924 also provides examples of a process for producing coreless rolls of wet wipes. Test Methods: The dry basis weight of the dispersible nonwoven sheets forming the wet wipes can be obtained using the ASTM active standard D646-96(2001), Standard Test Method for Grammage of Paper and Paperboard (Mass per Unit Area), or an equivalent method. The strength of the dispersible nonwoven sheets generated from each example can be evaluated by measuring the tensile strength in the machine direction and the cross-machine direction. Tensile strength can be measured using a Constant Rate of Elongation (CRE) tensile tester having a 1-inch jaw width (sample width), a test span of 3 inches (gauge length), and a rate of jaw separation of 25.4 centimeters per minute after soaking the sheet in tap water for 4 minutes and then draining the sheet on dry Viva® brand paper towel for 20 seconds. This drainage procedure can result in a moisture content of 200 percent of the dry weight + / −50 percent. This can be verified by weighing the sample before each test. One-inch wide strips can be cut from the center of the dispersible nonwoven sheets 80 in the specified machine direction 24 (“MD”) or cross-machine direction 25 (“CD”) orientation using a JDC Precision Sample Cutter (Thwing-Albert Instrument Company, Philadelphia, Pa., Model KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 No. JDC3-10, Ser. No.37333). The “MD tensile strength” is the peak load in grams-force per inch of sample width when a sample is pulled to rupture in the machine direction. The “CD tensile strength” is the peak load in grams-force per inch of sample width when a sample is pulled to rupture in the cross direction. The instrument used for measuring tensile strength can be an MTS Systems Synergie 200 model and the data acquisition software can be MTS TestWorks® for Windows Ver.4.0 commercially available from MTS Systems Corp., Eden Prairie, Minn. The load cell can be an MTS 50 Newton maximum load cell. The gauge length between jaws can be 3±0.04 inches and the top and bottom jaws can be operated using pneumatic-action with maximum 60 psi. The break sensitivity can be set at 70 percent. The data acquisition rate can be set at 100 Hz (i.e., 100 samples per second). The sample can be placed in the jaws of the instrument, centered both vertically and horizontally. The test can be then started and ended when the force drops by 70 percent of peak. The peak load can be expressed in grams-force and can be recorded as the “MD tensile strength” of the specimen. All of these values are for in-use tensile strength measurements. The Soak Wet Strength was carried out by soaking the 1″ wide strips described above for the tensile testing in a bath of 4.1 liter of deionized water for 1 hour. The deionized water was not stirred or agitated in any way during the testing. At the completion of the 1 hour soak, each of the samples were carefully retrieved from the bath, allowed to drain to remove excess water, and then tested immediately as described above for the tensile testing. Dispersibility Test The dispersibility of dispersible nonwoven sheets generated from each example may be measured using the slosh box test equipment described for INDA / EDANA method FG504 or an equivalent method. The Dispersibility Test uses a bench-scaled apparatus to evaluate the potential for breakup or dispersibility of flushable consumer products as the flushable consumer products travel through a wastewater collection system. In the Settling Test, a clear plastic tank was loaded with a product and tap water. The container was then rocked back and forth by a cam system at a specified rotational speed to simulate the movement of wastewater in the collection system. The initial breakup point and the time for dispersion of the product into pieces measuring one inch by one inch (25 mm by 25 mm) were recorded in the laboratory notebook. This one inch by one inch (25 mm by 25 mm) size is a parameter that is used because the size reduces the potential of product recognition. Four (4) liters of twenty-one degrees Celsius (21° C) tap water was placed in the plastic container / tank. A timer was set for three hours (3 hrs) and cycle speed was set for fifteen rotations per minute (15 rpm). The time to first breakup and full dispersion to one inch pieces were recorded in a KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 laboratory notebook. Photographs were also taken of samples at first break and one inch pieces end points. The test was terminated when the product reached a dispersion point of no piece larger than one inch by one inch (25 mm by 25 mm) square or reached three hours (one hundred and eighty minutes) whichever came first. Settling Test The settling of dispersible nonwoven sheets generated from each example may be measured using the equipment described for INDA method FG504 or an equivalent method, which is referred to herein as the “Settling Test”. The Settling Test uses an approximately twenty (20) cm diameter clear plastic column containing tap water that allows the settling behavior of a wipe to be observed. The column has graduations that are used for determining the time needed for a wipe to descend a pre- determined distance in the column. Individual wipes are rinsed in water or flushed through a test drain- line. In addition, the wipes can be swirled gently in wastewater for thirty (30) seconds to allow the adsorption of solids (optional). Each wipe is then placed in a beaker containing tap water that is poured into the top of the column. The settling rate is calculated from the sample’s travel time in the column. This process is repeated for ten separate wipes and the average settling velocity is calculated. The settled wipes are then left in the column for twenty-four (24) hours to verify that the wipes do not become buoyant and float. In the event that the wipes fail to settle or become buoyant, another round of testing can be conducted with ten additional samples. Ten samples are first dimensioned equal to or less than 4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm) to minimize contact with the inner walls of the column as the samples settle. Prior to testing, each sample is also pre-rinsed. Optionally, each sample can then be placed in approximately twenty liters (20 L) of screened, untreated wastewater in a bucket or similar container, which is then stirred for thirty (30) seconds. The samples are placed into a beaker containing one liter (1 L) of tap water in preparation for dosing to the column. Each sample is added into the top of the column, and the travel time of the sample between timing marks is recorded. This is repeated until all samples have been tested and have settled. If a sample does not settle, additional water is added to the column. If any sample fails to reach the lower timing mark after twenty (20) minutes, the sample is removed from the column. After adding all ten samples, the column and its contents are left undisturbed for a period of twenty-four (24) hours. At the end of the period, the column is inspected and the number of samples that are located more than thirty (30) cm above the bottom of the column is record. To be acceptable, the average settling velocity for the wipes that settle must exceed one-tenth centimeter per second (0.1 cm / sec) and at least 95% of the total wipes tested must settle. At least 95% KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 of the wipes tested must not become sufficiently buoyant to rise more than thirty centimeters (30 cm) from the bottom of the column within twenty-four (24) hours. Examples: Certain aspects of the present disclosure may be better understood according to the following examples, which are intended to be non-limiting and exemplary in nature. Moreover, it will be understood that the nonwoven webs and wetting agents described in the examples may be substantially free of any component not expressly described. Sample handsheets of hydroentangled nonwoven webs were evaluated for dispersibility. The sample handsheets were produced from a furnish consisting of both regenerated cellulose fibers and wood pulp fibers. Samples #1 had a basis weight of sixty-five (65) grams per square meter (gsm). Samples #2 and Samples #3 had a basis weight of eighty (80) grams per square meter (gsm). The concentrations of regenerated cellulose fibers and wood pulp fibers in each sample handsheet is indicated below in TABLE 1. The indicated percentages are by weight of the handsheets. TABLE 1 Regenerated Cellulose Fibers Wood Pulp Fibers l 1 7 None of the sam heets were identified as IWSFG compliant. The sample handsheets were treated with a wetting agent. Moreover, each of Samples #1 through #3 included respective handsheets treated with the wetting solution at three different concentrations of a settling agent, namely 0%, 0.1%, and 0.2% by weight of the wetting solution. The sinking agent was KF-889®. The wetting agent was applied with add-on of two hundred and twenty percent (220%) using a rolling pin by hand to express the wetting solution and deliver a consistent wet out. The sample handsheets were initially tested for IWSFG PAS3 compliance with acceptable strengths. The sample handsheets with the basis weights of 80 gsm were confirmed to be capable of compliance with IWSFG PAS3 compliance with acceptable strengths. In contrast, the sample handsheets with the basis weights of 65 gsm did not conform to IWSFG PAS3 and were not subject to further testing. KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 The conforming sample handsheets were subjected to physical testing, the mean results of which are summarized in TABLE 2. TABLE 2 CDWT MDWT CD Stretch MD Stretch CD TEA MD TEA (gf / in) (gf / 3”) (%) (%) (g / cm / cm2) (g / cm / cm2) l 1 A 1 2 22 2 2 1 14 1 2 A toughness and tensile strength. The conforming sample handsheets were also subjected to settling testing, namely the INDA FG504 Settling Test, the average results of which are summarized in TABLE 3. TABLE 3 Average Settling Rate 24hrs Remain Settled (cm / sec) As shown, all ttling testing. Moreover, the sample handsheets with 0% settling agent floated. The sample handsheets with the settling agent each had an average settling rate greater than two centimeters per second (2 cm / sec). As may be seen from the above, the buoyancy of hydroentangled nonwoven webs can be limited or prevented by introduction of a settling agent, such as KF-889®, in the range from 0.05% to 0.2% by weight of the wetting solution, which allows flushable wipes to pass the INDA FG504 Settling Test with average settling rates of greater than 2 cm / sec. These and other modifications and variations to the present invention may be practiced by those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which is more particularly set forth in the appended claims. In addition, it should be understood that KCX-2105-PCT / 65116235PCT01 aspects of the various embodiments may be interchanged both in whole or in part. Furthermore, those of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the foregoing description is by way of example only, and is not intended to limit the invention so further described in such appended claims.
