Abstract:
Disposable absorbent articles assembled from a collection of components using an adhesive consisting essentially of an amorphous polyolefin composition comprising more than 40% 1-butene and a second amorphous polymer comprising at least one butane monomer, the polymer having a molecular weight (MWn) of at least 1000, wherein the polymer is compatible with the polyolefin.
Abstract:
Methods and compositions for securing to and removing adhesive tapes from substrates, e.g., delicate substrates such as skin, are described. The methods include providing an adhesive tape comprising an adhesive layer and a support layer in contact with the adhesive layer. A first adhesion level between the adhesive layer and the support layer is, or can be controlled to be, less than a second adhesion level between the adhesive layer and the substrate. The methods further include applying the adhesive tape to the substrate by contacting the adhesive layer to the substrate while the support layer remains in contact with the adhesive layer; and removing the support layer from the substrate by separating the support layer from the adhesive layer.
Abstract:
A hot melt adhesive material and articles made using the hot melt adhesive to assemble structures in an article. The adhesive material typically is manufactured by blending amorphous polymer with a compatible amorphous polymer.
Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article that includes a frangible bonding agent for maintaining the absorbent article in a predetermined configuration. The frangible bonding agent may be disposed on a fastening system in order to maintain one or more portions of the fastening system in a particular position during manufacturing but still provide an easy-to-open fastener when used by a consumer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sanitary protection article that is structured and arranged to maintain menstrual fluid within the vagina and thereby prevent the menstrual fluid from excaping the body. The present invention also relates to a method of selectively maintaining menstrual fluid within the vagina by means of using such article.

A hot melt adhesive material and articles made using the hot melt adhesive to assemble structures in an article. The adhesive material typically is manufactured by blending amorphous polymer with a compatible amorphous polymer.
Abstract:
Absorbent articles assembled using a low cold flow construction adhesive are described. The absorbent articles have an in bag compression opening force of less than about 0.75N. A method for making the absorbent articles is also described.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to breathable absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, pants liners, and incontinence pads which are adhered by adhesive (22) to an undergarment during use. More particularly the present invention relates to articles which have an air permeable or breathable back sheet, which have a flexibility in a longitudinal direction, and which are particularly well adhered to the undergarment in order to provide improved comfort to the wearer of the article.
Abstract:
An article having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, the article comprising a topsheet and a backsheet, wherein the topsheet comprises an apertured film and the backsheet comprises a film, wherein the topsheet film and the backsheet film are bonded via a plurality of adhesive stripes.
Abstract:
A disposable absorbent article that includes a first and second substrate, a portion of which is joined together with a hot-melt adhesive applied at a temperature of less than 130 C. At least one of the first second substrates has a basis weight of less than 15 grams per square meter. The adhesive provides suitable bond strength on low basis weight substrates and allows for flexible processing conditions.
