摘要：
A consumer scrubbing wipe article including a nonwoven substrate and a texture layer. The nonwoven substrate has a dry basis weight of less than about 300 g/m2, and thus promotes easy, comfortable handling by a user. The texture layer is a non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based material that is printed onto at least one surface of the nonwoven substrate. In this regard, the texture layer covers less than an entirety of the substrate surface and extends at least 50 microns outwardly beyond the substrate surface to which it is printed. This characteristic ensures that the scrubbing wipe article has a distinct scrubbyness attribute.
技术问题语段：
The patent text describes a need for a consumer scrubbing and wiping article that has a high degree of scrubbyness, is easy to handle, and can be loaded with a wide variety of chemical solutions. The current options available are limited in terms of their ability to provide a scrubbing texture layer that is amenable to a variety of chemical solutions and does not require a rigorous manufacturing process. The technical problem addressed by the patent is to provide a solution that overcomes these limitations and meets the consumer demand for a high-quality scrubbing article.
技术功效语段：
The present invention is about a consumer background wipe article. It is made up of a nonwoven texture layer and a non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based material printed onto the nonwoven substrate. The texture layer has a distinct scrubbyness attribute, and it also includes a chemical solution absorbed into the nonwoven substrate. The article is easy to handle, comfortable for the user, and has a unique texture that makes it different from other nonwoven wipes.
权利要求：
1. A consumer scrubbing wipe article comprising: a nonwoven substrate having a dry basis weight of less than 300 g/m2; and a non-crosslinked, abrasive resin-based texture layer printed onto at least one surface of the substrate such that the texture layer extends at least 50 µm (microns) outwardly beyond the substrate surface upon coalescing, wherein the texture layer covers less than an entirety of the substrate surface, and wherein the texture layer includes a resin independently imparting a scrubbyness attribute to the scrubbing wipe article upon coalescing and bonding to the nonwoven substrate.
2. The article of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate has a dry basis weight of greater than 30 g/m2.
3. The article of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven substrate is characterized by a drapability value of less than 250.
4. A method of manufacturing a consumer scrubbing wipe article, the method comprising: a) providing a nonwoven substrate having a dry basis weight of less than 300 g/m2, the nonwoven substrate defining first and second opposing surfaces; b) providing an abrasive resin-based matrix, wherein the abrasive resin is in a flowable form; c) printing the matrix onto the first surface of the nonwoven substrate, wherein the abrasive resin in flowable form only partially soaks into the nonwoven substrate, the printed matrix covering less than an entirety of the first surface; and d) causing the printed matrix to coalesce to create a texture layer that provides a scrubbyness attribute, the texture layer being created without crosslinking of the matrix resin; wherein the texture layer extends at least 50 µm (microns) outwardly beyond the first surface upon coalescing.
