Abstract

L'invention concerne des articles absorbants fibreux contenant des particules utilisés pour fabriquer des couches jetables, des garnitures d'incontinence pour adulte, des serviettes hygiéniques et analogue. L'invention concerne plus particulièrement une bande fibreuse multistrate comprenant une pluralité de premières strates composées de fibres de matrice et de fibres thermoplastiques, et une pluralité de secondes strates composées de particules fonctionnelles agencées en bandes séparées. Les premières et secondes strates sont disposées en alternance sur la bande et les bandes de secondes strates sont agencées de sorte que les bandes adjacentes aux secondes strates ne se superposent pas.
