Abstract:
Disclosed herein is A multilayer film comprising a core layer; and two skin layers; wherein the core layer is positioned between the two skin layers; wherein the core layer comprises a polyethylene polymer blend, the polyethylene polymer blend comprising at least 40%, by weight of the polyethylene polymer blend, of an ethylene-based polymer having a density of 0.900-0.940 g/cc and a melt index of 0.7-6 g/10 min, wherein the polyethylene polymer blend has an overall density of about 0.910-0.950 g/cc and a melt index of about 0.7-6 g/ 10 min; and wherein each skin layer independently comprises a propylene-based polymer; and wherein the multilayer film further comprises a filler, the filler being present in one or more layers of the multilayer film.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a non-woven cloth to be laminated to a polyethylene layer such that: a. it is formed by a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic polypropylene fibres; b. it is produced by means of a carding process followed by thermal bonding; c. during the thermal bonding, at least 15% of the area thereof is etched; and d. it has a minimum base weight of 13 gr/m.
Abstract:
A simplified process is disclosed for making form fitting undergarments that include structures for absorbing (13) and containing body exudates. The garments are formed by selectively cutting (14, 15) and seaming (17, 18) sheets (8) having parallel elastic strands into trapezoidal or rectangular geometries so that the finished garmet when stretched in the waist at least 70 % contracts in the perpendicular direction at 20 %.
Abstract:
A nonwoven comprising a pattern of thermal bonds with anti-fuzz properties according to at least three and preferably all four of the following conditions: a) the pattern comprises thermal bonds disposed in parallel rows having a pitch angle (P) of from 0.5° to 15° relative to the machine direction or the cross-machine direction; and/or b) the bonding area of all the thermal bonds ranges from 17% to 30% of the area of the nonwoven, and/or c) the pattern comprises larger bonds and smaller bonds having different individual area, and/or d) the pattern comprises elongated bonds having different major directions.
Abstract:
A wearing article (1) has a mechanical fastener for connecting a front waist region (2) and a rear waist region (3) to each other. The mechanical fastener has a hook element and a loop element, and the loop element is formed of a nonwoven fabric forming an exterior layer (42) of the wearing article (1). The nonwoven fabric has non-weld regions (55) each surrounded by a pair of first weld lines (51) and a pair of second weld lines (52) wherein at least a portion of a third weld portion (53a) is present in the non-weld region (55).
Abstract:
An absorbent article that comprises a barrier component, which comprises a nonwoven barrier sheet, comprising at least a spunbond nonwoven web with spunbond fibers and at least a meltblown nonwoven web with meltblown fibers (or at least two nonwoven laminate layers comprising said meltbown and spunbond webs), and whereby said nonwoven barrier sheet has pores of a largest pore size of less than 50 microns, and whereby said spunbond fibers have a number average diameter of 6 to 18 microns, 11 microns or 12 to 14 microns or 15 microns, and whereby the total weight percentage (by weight of the nonwoven barrier sheet) of the meltblown web(s) is from 5% to 30%, 5% to 20%, and whereby said meltblown fibers have a number average fiber diameter from 1 µm to 5 µm, or from 1 µm to 3 µm.
Abstract:
A liquid repellent breathable composite sheet is formed by extrusion coating a thin, non-porous moisture vapor permeable film on an absorbent nonwoven layer and adhesively laminating a repellent nonwoven layer to the side of the film opposite the absorbent layer. The composite sheet has excellent viral and bacterial barrier properties and is suitable for medical uses including surgical gowns and drapes.
Abstract:
A porous composite sheet comprising a layer wherein both a component (A) which is easily heat-meltable and a component (B) which is more thermally stable than the component (A) coexist in a fused state. The layer of the component (A) may be constituted of a hydrophilic material, while the layer of the component (B) a hydrophobic one. Further, both of the layers may contain a common component made of an easily heat-meltable material. This sheet advantageously exhibits suitable permeability to air or moisture and excellent drape characteristics, and therefore is suitable for the raw material of sanitary or medical supplies.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles such as baby diapers or sanitary napkins having a breathable yet liquid leakage retarding backsheet. In particular the backsheet comprises an inner and an outer layer which are essentially non-attached to each other. Both layers can be formed of the same or a different breathable material and preferably replace a single breathable material at parity material consumption.
Abstract:
A nonwoven web that contains a plurality of fibers formed from a polyolefin composition is provided. The polyolefin composition contains a rigid propylene polymer that has a relatively high melting temperature and modulus of elasticity, which can provide good strength and durability to the nonwoven web. The polyolefin composition also contains a ductile propylene polymer that has a relatively high melt flow index, which can help achieve relatively fine fibers that minimize the stiffness of the web. In addition to a rigid and ductile polymer, the polyolefin composition also contains a slip additive (e.g., fatty acid derivative). Among other things, such an additive can even further enhance the overall softness of the composition.
