u00b0 f to form microfibers with primary air at 506 u00b0 f at a fiber production rate of 32 hr to these microfibers in the attenuating air stream was added an indicated weight of a mixture of cellulosic fibers the resulting 8 matrixes were embossed at a temperature of 200 u00b0 f and a pressure of 125 pli in a pattern covering 25 of the surface area of about 800 bonds per square inch the eight samples 1 8 were compared to the conventional commercial products on the basis of tensile strength and softness the commercial products compared are included in table 1 as no 9 puff u00ae and no 10 special touch u00ae the result of the comparison is present in table 1 below table 1______________________________________sample i d 1 2 3 4 5______________________________________basis weight gsm 34 0 33 2 26 9 35 8 28 6pulp poly ratio 70 30 70 30 70 30 50 50 50 50tensile strength gms 3 34 md dry 1015 1174 1137 1138 1116 md stretch 17 2 13 0 14 1 16 1 19 7cd dry 818 743 532 640 621 cd stretch 50 5 50 3 58 9 53 9 44 4cd wet 906 927 653 722 713 cd wet absorbent rate 3 4 3 8 6 0 6 0 2 6softness testrating 10 7 10 6 10 9 10 8 10 7stiff 2 7 2 6 2 3 2 7 2 4surface depth 8.
