The present invention is generally directed to adhesive compositions comprising selected ratios of crystalline and amorphous polymers. In some versions of the invention, polymers capable of existing in different configurations (e.g., a polymer such as polypropylene which can exist in an atactic, syndiotactic. or isotactic configuration) is used to prepare adhesives of the present invention. As an example, a selected amount of isotactic polypropylene is blended with a selected amount of atactic polypropylene to prepare an adhesive composition having one or more performance properties (e.g., bond strength) that are superior to the performance properties of a conventional hot-melt adhesive.

A thermoplastic foam composite has at least one active agent layer, which includes active agent materials that are coated with a thermal-sticky polymer, and which is bonded to at least one surface of a soft, flexible, absorbent thermoplastic foam layer. The thermoplastic foam composite can exhibit desirable active agent properties while maintaining sufficient integrity, absorbency, and/or flexibility for specific applications. In some aspects, an adhesive can be utilized to assist with bonding the active agent layer to the thermoplastic foam layer. The thermoplastic foam composite can be utilized as an article, such as a packaging, wiper, towel, or insulation product, or can be incorporated as a component into a variety of other articles, including personal care articles, health/medical articles, and household/industrial articles, for example.

An elastomeric composite web (20) includes an elastomeric-substrate (22), and an operative layer of an elastomeric polypropylene-based adhesive material (24) or other surface modifying agent which is adhered or otherwise applied directly to at least one major, facing-side (26) of the elastomeric-substrate (22). In particular aspects, the layer of the surface modifying agent (24) has been provided separate from the elastomeric-substrate (22), and the layer of surface modifying agent (24) has been applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate (22) while the elastomeric-substrate has been operatively configured in a substantially unstretched condition. In other aspects, the elastomeric-substrate (22) can have a distinctively high basis weight, and the layer of surface modifying agent (24) can be applied directly to the elastomeric-substrate (22) prior to attaching the elastomeric-substrate to any separately provided, substantially non-elastomeric, supplemental-substrate. In a further aspect, the elastomeric-substrate (22) can be substantially free of continuous, elastomeric strands.

Disclosed herein are elastic laminate materials having an elastic member and at least one fibrous nonwoven web. The elastic laminate materials have highly desirably properties of extensibility and elastic recovery, and cloth-like aesthetic properties of softness and drapability. In embodiments, the elastic laminate materials may include a second fibrous nonwoven web bonded to the opposite side of the elastic member. Also disclosed herein is a process for forming the elastic laminate materials. Such elastic laminate materials are highly useful for components in or on personal care products, protective wear garments, medical care products, bandages and the like.

The present invention discloses a disposable scrubbing product for use in household cleaning or personal care applications. The scrubbing product of the invention is a multi-layer laminate product and generally includes at least two distinct layers, an abrasive layer and an absorbent fibrous layer such as a layer tissue made from papermaking fibers, a layer of coform, an airlaid web, or combinations thereof. The abrasive layer is formed primarily of polymeric fibers in a disordered or random distribution as is typical of fibers deposited in meltblown or spunbond processes so as to form an open, porous structure. In one embodiment, multiple layers of an abrasive structure are releasably attached together. In this manner, the top or outermost layer may be removed after being used in order to expose an unused abrasive structure located below the discarded layer.
摘要:
An adhesive composition including an atactic polymer, an isotactic polymer, and an extensible base polymer, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate and/or ethylene methacrylate. The composition may also include a tackifier, such as a high softening point tackifier resin, a low softening point additive, and/or other additives, such as an antioxidizing agent, a plasticizer, mineral oil, color pigment, filler, polymer compatibilizer, or a combination of any of these additives. Facing layers, particularly stretchable and/or elastomeric substrates, can be bonded with the adhesive composition. The adhesive composition maintains high bond strength, even at body temperature and after initial stretching. Such adhesive compositions and laminates can be made according to a method of the invention.
摘要:
We have determined that strength characteristics of elastic strand improve when the strand is heated. Thus, the present invention is directed to improving strength characteristics of an elastic strand by heating the strand. The strand may be heated by thermal conduction and/or convection, by irradiative methods using, for example, infrared or microwave radiation, or some combination of these. If the elastic strand is made at a location different from the location where the strand is used as a raw material, the strand may be heated at either location, or both locations. Furthermore, the strand may be heated in-line, i.e. as part of the process that makes the strand or the process that uses the strand as a raw material, or off-line, i.e. in a step separate from either of the aforementioned processes. Finally, in addition to heat treating the strand, the strand's exposure to water or water vapor may be regulated to reduce or eliminate strength degradation.
摘要:
Printing plates having a photoresist layer thereon that can be exposed by a computer controller laser have improved sensitivity and do not require a photomask step. We have found photoresists that include a film forming polymer, an organo azide and a photosensitive dye that absorbs light at the frequency of the patterning laser and converts it to heat energy. The heat energy in turn elevates the temperature of the organo azide above its dissociation temperature, destroying the azide in areas exposed to the light source, and solubilizing those regions.Flood exposure with ultraviolet light hardens the resist and can be performed prior to or after pattern exposure.
