摘要:
An absorbent article for inhibiting the production of exoproteins from Gram positive bacteria, such as potentially harmful proteins produced by Staphylococcus species, is described. The absorbent article is particularly useful for inhibiting the production of TSST-1, alpha-toxin and/or enterotoxins A, B and C from S. aureus bacterium. An alkyl polyglycoside is incorporated into the absorbent article. For example, alkyl polyglycoside may be coated on the fibers of a liquid-permeable cover of a catamenial tampon.

The present invention relates to a topical delivery system effective in depositing a thin, tenacious and substantially continuous coating of a silk protein on skin by an aqueous emulsion mediated dissolution of protein from a substrate with subsequent transfer and deposition onto the skin. Coatings of silk protein on skin resist removal, thereby providing a protective barrier against chemically- and biochemically-induced skin damage. The treatment composition also provides a vehicle for administering an effective dose of an active agent to the skin surface.
摘要:
A film cover for use in absorbent materials such as feminine care products, surgical drapes, fenestration reinforcement, absorbent pads and the like including a polymeric film having a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface and forming a plurality of apertures, at least a portion of which have an aperture region having a higher wettability than a portion of the top planar surface of the polymeric film.
摘要:
A versatile sorbent material is provided comprising a fibrous sheet having applied thereto a wetting chemistry comprising (i) a poly glycoside; (ii) a fatty acid ester ethoxylate; and (iii) one or more surfactants selected from the group consisting of alkyl and aryl alcohol ethoxylates, alkyl sulfonates and sulfates, alcohol ether sulfates, alkyl phosphates and phosphonates, alkyl sulfosuccinates and sulfated fatty acid esters. A sorbent material is provided having excellent electrical resistivity and good absorption properties for a broad range of liquids including paraffin oil, water, sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide.
摘要:
A polymeric substrate primed with a treatment composition to allow better receptivity of an ink composition, and method for making the same, is generally disclosed. More specifically, the polymeric substrate can be a hydrophobic polymeric substrate such as comprising polyolefins, which exhibits better ink adhesion and rub resistance when pretreated with a treatment composition of the present invention.
摘要:
A laminate is generally provided having alcohol repellency properties. In one particular embodiment, the laminate includes a meltblown web bonded to a spunbond web (e.g., a SM laminate, a SMS laminate, a SMMS laminate, etc.). A fluorinated polymeric coating is attached to the surface of the spunbond web (e.g., grafted). The fluorinated polymeric coating comprises a perfluoroalkyl(alkyl) (meth)acrylate monomer polymerized on the surface of the spunbond web via exposure to a low frequency energy source. The perfluoroalkyl(alkyl) (meth)acrylate monomer has a perfluoroalkyl side groups comprising —(CF2)z—F, where z is an integer from 1 to 6. The laminate has an alcohol repellency of greater than 80%.
摘要:
A face mask for reducing the amount of microbes to which a wearer is exposed is provided. The face mask includes a body portion that has an outer layer that has been treated with a germicidal agent in an effective amount. The layer may be a nonwoven fabric like a spunbond, meltblown or coform layer and may be a laminate of such layers. The face mask having such a germicidal treatment can result in a reduction in microbial activity as compared to another face mask, identical but for the germicidal agent.
摘要:
Improved skin-adhesive compositions for bonding a substrate, such as an absorbent article, to skin are disclosed. More particularly, the skin-adhesive composition has an improved, yet gentle, adhesion to the skin of a user, while maintaining strong, effective bonding to various inanimate, non-skin substrates. In one embodiment, the skin-adhesive composition can provide one or more skin benefit agents to the user. The skin-adhesive composition may be applied to an absorbent article, such as a panty-liner, sanitary napkin, or an incontinence article, for directly adhering the article to the skin of a user.
摘要:
The present disclosure is generally directed to hydrogel-fibrous web composites that can be used various heat transfer applications. For instance, the thermally conductive hydrogel-fibrous web composite can be used as a skin-contacting layer in a thermal energy transfer pad used to control patient body temperature. The hydrogel polymer is integral to the fibers of the web. Thus, the hydrogel-fibrous web composite provides good thermal conductivity and skin adhesion properties. The present disclosure is also generally directed to methods of preparing the hydrogel-fibrous web composites.
摘要:
An elastic laminate having improved elastomeric properties is prepared by forming an elastic layer from a thermoplastic styrene block copolymer elastomer, crosslinking the elastic layer, and bonding the elastic layer to at least one nonwoven web. The elastic layer may be crosslinked before or after it is bonded to the nonwoven web. The elastic laminate combines the advantages of relatively low cost starting materials with the performance advantages typically associated with more expensive elastomers.
