摘要:
A laminated composite suitable for use in medical products such as tapes and wraps. The composite includes, for example, a first nonwoven fiber layer, an elastic layer, a melt blown adhesive fiber layer, and a second nonwoven fiber layer. A scrim layer serves as a deadstop, or stretch limit, to prevent over stretching. The non-woven fiber layer(s) and/or the scrim layer form suitable loops for a hook and loop fastening system. The scrim layer in some embodiments is employed to make the composite finger tearable. The melt blown adhesive layer, nonwoven web layer and elastic layer form a breathable, porous elastic composite. Methods of manufacturing the composite are also disclosed.

Method for making a stem web material having a plurality of stems extending from discrete regions (patches or stripes) of the web, comprising: a) providing a web (e.g. nonwoven, woven or knit textile fabric; paper; microporous membrane, polymer film; etc.); b) providing discrete quantities of a polymer at a temperature above its softening point or in molten state; c) fusing the discrete quantities of polymer to the web; and d) forming a plurality of stems in each of the discrete quantities of polymer material. The stems can be formed by pressing the web on which the patches or stripes of polymer are deposited against a tool having a surface with a plurality of stem-forming holes. The stems can be given enlarged ends by bringing the surface of the stem web close to a heated surface.

A stem web is disclosed that comprises a backing layer having a first surface and a second surface, and an array of 600 to 20000 upstanding stems projecting from the first surface of the backing. The stems comprise a height from 0.3 and 2.0 millimeters and a shore hardness less than 90A. In one embodiment, the stem web further comprises a reinforcing layer secured to the second surface. In one embodiment, the stem web is secured to a tool to be passed across a surface to be cleaned to capture lint and hair.

An elastic web of material has a multiplicity of stems extending from at least one side of the web. The web includes a first continuous layer of elastic material having a first side and a second side and a second layer of material. The second layer of material has a first side which faces the first side of the first layer and a second side from which the stems extend. The first and second layers of material are joined together. The second layer of material can be formed of thermoplastic material or melt processable polymeric material. The first and second layers of material are melt formed. They are joined by coextrusion or lamination to form a multiple layer sheet on which a multiplicity of stems are formed on at least the second layer by a process such as embossing the stems into the heated web using a patterned roll or mold.

Presently described is an adhesive composition comprising at least one isobutylene polymer and an alkyl amine adhesion promoting agent. The alkyl amine is unreactive with respect to the isobutylene polymer. In favored embodiments, the alkyl amine adhesion promoting agent comprises an alkyl group having 6-24 carbon atoms. Further, the isobutylene polymer is a non-halogenated copolymer or homopolymer. Also described are adhesive articles a pressure sensitive adhesive, as described herein on a backing The adhesive is particularly suitable for articles intended for use in a wet environment such as kitchen or bath articles.
摘要:
A mechanical fastener including a plurality of engaging stems located in unordered arrangements, which repeat on a substrate. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides a mechanical fastener with a plurality of repeating unordered arrangements, where the arrangements repeat in more than one direction. The unordered arrangements of the engaging stems allow pairs of the fasteners to interengage with themselves, or in other words, to self-mate. Additionally, the unordered arrangements of engaging stems allow the fasteners to interengage at any relative angular orientation with a relatively constant engagement force, and a relatively constant disengagement force regardless of their angular orientation. The unordered arrangements of engaging stems also allow pairs of fasteners to interengage at any relative planar position with a relatively constant engagement force and a relatively constant disengagement force regardless of their planar position.
摘要:
There is provided an article having frictional properties that do not substantially degrade when water is present, comprising a backing layer having a first surface with an array of at least 100 flexible, upstanding stems per square inch, that occupy no greater than 24.8% of a total area of the first surface of the backing layer, molded at least partially integrally to the first surface, each stem having an aspect ratio of at least 1.25 and having at least a portion of the stem formed of an elastomeric material having a Shore hardness of less than about 90 A, wherein the first surface has a static coefficient of friction when dry of at least 0.6 and a static coefficient of friction when wet within 20% of the static coefficient of friction when dry.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for forming a mechanical fastener. A preferred embodiment of the method includes moving a substrate along a web path, where the substrate includes a first major surface and a plurality of stems extending from the first major surface of the substrate and each of the stems includes a stem end, radiantly heating the stem ends to form softened ends, and thereafter deforming the softened ends into convex heads with a deformable surface. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus includes a web conveyor, where the web conveyor defines a web path, a heating source located adjacent the web conveyor and a deformable surface located down the web path from the heating source, where the deformable surface includes a durometer hardness of greater than 10 Shore OO and less than 70 Shore A.
