| 20080200331 | Process For Producing a Water-Absorbing Matieral Having a Coating of Elastic Film-Forming Polymers - The present invention relates to a process for producing a water-absorbing material comprising the steps of a) spray-coating water-absorbing polymeric particles with an elastic film-forming polymer in a fluidized bed reactor in the range from 00 C to 1500 C and b) heat-treatment of the coated particles at a temperature above 50° C., wherein in step b) the duration of the heat-treatment is chosen that the CS-SFC value of the obtained polymeric particles is at least 10% of the optimum CS-SFC value, and the water-absorbing material obtainable by this process. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090143536 | Fibers and Nonwovens Comprising Polypropylene Blends and Mixtures - Fibers and nonwoven materials comprising polymeric blends and polymeric mixtures that incorporate a blend of a first metallocene polypropylene and a second polypropylene are described. The first and second polypropylenes have a predetermined relationship for the melt temperature and the melt flow rate of the individual polypropylenes. Also described are fibers (including bicomponent fibers) and nonwoven materials made from the fibers where the fibers are extruded using the polymeric blends, and/or the polymeric mixtures. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100040826 | Extrusion Bonded Laminates for Absorbent Articles - An absorbent article of the present invention may comprise a topsheet, an outer cover, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. The outer cover may comprise an extrusion bonded laminate. The EBL may comprise a multi-layer coextruded elastomeric film and a nonwoven. The film may comprise a core layer, a first outer layer, and a second outer layer, wherein the core layer is between the first and second outer layers. The nonwoven may comprise fibers and/or filaments. The first outer layer may be non-adhesively joined to the nonwoven via extrusion coating. Further, the outer cover may be elastic to at least about 50% engineering strain. The nonwoven may have high chemical affinity for the first outer layer. The first outer layer may have a low chemical affinity for the core layer. And, the first outer layer may comprise an amount of draw down polymer greater than about 45 wt %. | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100041293 | Method of Making Laminate Structures for Mechanical Activation - A method for producing a stretch laminate includes forming an intermediate stretch laminate. Forming the intermediate stretch laminate includes providing a first substrate and attaching an elastic film to a surface of the first substrate via an adhesive. The first substrate and the elastic film are in a face to face orientation. The intermediate stretch laminate has a residual energy of greater than or equal to 50% at a predetermined applied strain. The method of forming the stretch laminate further includes mechanically activating the intermediate stretch laminate at a strain rate of at least 100 s | 02-18-2010 |
| 20100286338 | Fibers And Nonwovens Comprising Polyethylene Blends And Mixtures - Fibers (including bicomponent fibers) comprising polymeric blends and polymeric mixtures that incorporate a blend of a first polyethylene and a second polyethylene are described. The first and second polyethylenes have a predetermined relationship for the density and the melt index of the individual polyethylenes. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100286339 | Fibers And Nonwovens Comprising Polypropylene Blends And Mixtures - Polypropylene materials comprising a polymeric blend, the polymeric blend comprising: (a) a first linear low density metallocene polyethylene; and (b) a second linear low density polyethylene; wherein the polypropylene material has a first turbidity half time measured under quiescent conditions, and a second turbidity half time measured at a wall shear stress of about 0.11 MPa, and having a certain ratio of the second turbidity half time to the first turbidity half time. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100318049 | Absorbent Structures Including Coated Absorbent Material - An absorbent layer containing water-absorbing polymeric particles that are surface-treated and that are immobilized by a matrix, formed from a thermoplastic adhesive component, including a thermoplastic polymers and a specific plasticizer, and being free of low weight average molecular weight (e.g. below 1000, or below 2000 or even below 3000 g/mole) tackifiers and plasticizers. The absorbent articles may for example be adult incontinence articles, infant (e.g. baby, toddler) diapers, including training pants, and feminine hygiene articles, such as sanitary napkins. | 12-16-2010 |
