Abstract:
A composition for blocking blood-containing fluids is provided. The composition contains one or more hydratable non deliquescent inorganic salts. In one embodiment, for example, the composition contains magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). The composition may be placed in an absorbent core in an absorbent article to help block blood-containing fluids (e.g., menses exuded from the body).
Abstract:
Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, for example for the absorption of menses or blood. The absorbent core comprises a substrate layer, thereon a layer of absorbent polymer material, and thereon a layer of adhesive. Either said a substrate layer or said cover layer or both may comprises o composite of at least a first layer and third layer of fibrous non-woven webs, said first layer and said third layer comprising synthetic fibers with an average fiber denier from 1 to 6, said composite further comprises a second layer comprising pulp; the layers of the composite being placed in the order first- second- third and bonded by intertwining the fibers between the layers, e.g. by hydroentanglement. Said first and third layers of said composite may be spunbonded.
Abstract:
Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood, comprising absorbent gelling material and an inert material.
Abstract:
Absorbent products for feminine protection, for example sanitary pads, pantiliners or tampons, comprising a cationic modified guar gum. The guar gum is modified by a cationizing agent comprising an ammonium group, wherein the degree of substitution of the cationizing agent is from about 0.070 to less than 0.30. In one aspect of the invention, the cationic modified guar gum is substantially water soluble.
Abstract:
Cross-linked ampholytic polymers that may be used as rheological modifiers, and/or absorbent gelling materials are disclosed. The polymers may be storage stable in aqueous compositions comprising soluble salt, and/or an oxidizer, such as hydrogen peroxide.
Abstract:
Absorbent articles for the absorption of proteinaceous or serous body fluids, particularly menses. The absorbent article has a better handling towards such fluids, both in terms of retention capacity and absorption rate, by comprising a selected polyacrylate based material.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved material for liquid absorption, comprising an absorbent material in particle form with a very low average particle size, dispersed into a selected inert hydrophilic organic carrier which is solid at room temperature. An improved process for manufacturing said material is also provided. Such liquid absorbing material can be utilised in the absorbent cores of disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, interlabial devices, tampons, disposable diapers, incontinence pads, wound dressings, nursing pads, and the like.
