production of high bulk nonwoven materials particularly useful as wipers and the like having a varying pattern of bonds and cloth - like feel . in one embodiment the method includes opposed , varying , high density bonding patterns on opposite sides of the materials formed by contact with surfaces having varyingly shaped or sided lands and grooves . where both surfaces are contacted by such lands and grooves , increased spacing in the unbonded areas permits high loft , essentially unbonded fiber portions between the bond points . construction of the individual land areas is preferable with tapered sides with vertical so as to permit engraving and high bond density and pattern depth while reducing wear . resulting products have unique softness and absorbency characteristics for improved wipers because of the bond constructions . in addition , a wide variety of attractive patterns may be obtained . preferred thermoplastic materials include spunbonded or meltdown polypropylene alone or in combination with wood cellulose and / or staple textile fibers .
