A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11926969B2) discloses a unique wipe design comprising a combination of filaments and solid additives, with a pattern featuring different regions of varying basis weights. The wipe, considered a core component, also includes a scrim component, with the filaments present at a level of less than 90% by weight on a dry basis. Additionally, the patent claims variations in the weight ratio of filaments to solid additives, with the presence of thermoplastic polymers like polyolefins and polyesters, some of which are biodegradable or compostable.

Furthermore, the patent details the composition of the wipes, including the presence of fibers as solid additives and the incorporation of a liquid composition for certain types of wipes, such as wet wipes or baby wipes. The design also allows for the creation of a stack of wipes, each following the unique pattern and composition outlined in the patent claims. With a focus on the distribution of filaments and solid additives, as well as the use of specific thermoplastic polymers, this patented wipe design offers a novel approach to enhancing the functionality and sustainability of wipes in various applications.
