- the thickness t k apparent on the front surface sheet 1 2 comprising crests and valleys of the wrinkles W is desirably less 5 mm. If the apparent thickness t k exceeds 5 mm, a cloth-like texture will appear, but the roughness will increase, resulting in an increase in the ruggedness of the surface. In addition, it is necessary to increase the degree of elongation of the surface sheet 12 at the time of applying a melt pattern, which makes it difficult to control the tension during the manufacturing process.
- the interval between the peaks or valleys of the wrinkles W is 10 mm or less. Crests (valleys) When the distance between the peaks exceeds 10 mm, the flat portion per unit area increases, the plastic sheet feel becomes stronger, and the cloth-like texture is impaired.
- the surface sheet 12 sent out from the material supply drum 101 is introduced onto a perforating roll 104 in which a number of holes are arranged, and the surface sheet 12 is heated to near its softening point.
- a large number of openings 18 are formed in the surface sheet 12 by suction from the opening hole 104 and then the surface sheet 12 having the openings 18 formed thereon is guided onto the anvil roll 106.
- the topsheet 12 of the present invention is not limited to the above-described method.
- the openings in the topsheet 12 are Q
- the present inventors formed a wide variety of melt patterns on a polyethylene sheet and performed visual evaluation and skin feel evaluation. This evaluation was performed on a five-point scale: ⁇ : particularly good, ⁇ : good, ⁇ : somewhat good, X: bad.
- the reflectivity is defined as the ratio of the intensity of the reflected light to the intensity of the incident light, so the spectrometer measures the intensity of the specular reflected light and the intensity of the napkin surface material reflected light, I tried to take a ratio.
- the numerical values represent the reflectivity of each sample in% when the reflectivity of the standard mirror surface is 100.
