Laminated Nonwoven Fabric

Abstract: The problem addressed by the present invention is to provide a laminated nonwoven fabric achieving both handling properties during manufacturing and during use and adherence to the skin surface at a high level particularly when used for a face mask. The laminated nonwoven fabric has a nonwoven fabric layer (A) and a nonwoven fabric layer (B). The nonwoven fabric layer (A) is formed from a fiber A with a single fiber diameter of 50 - 800 nm and the nonwoven fabric layer (B) is formed from a fiber B with a single fiber diameter of 3 - 30 µm. The nonwoven fabric layer (B) includes at 15 - 40% by mass to all of the fiber constituting the nonwoven fabric layer (B) fiber B1 for which the tensile strength measured on the basis of JIS L 1015: 2010 8.7.2 is 2.0 cN/dtex or less. The nonwoven fabric layer (B) includes fiber B2 for which the tensile strength exceeds 2.0 cN/dtex as measured on the basis of JIS L 1015: 2010 8.7.2. The nonwoven fabric layer (A) is disposed on the outermost layer of at least one surface.
