Abstract:
An assembled intermediate is described comprising a fluid transport element proximate an absorbent material. The fluid transport element comprises a thermoplastic nonwoven web comprising a plurality of coiled filaments having an average diameter of 200 to 500 microns interengaged by means of intermittent bonds. The web preferably has certain properties such as a thickness of 3 to 20 mm, a density ranging from 0.02 to 0.10, and a work of compression of no greater than 20 kJ/m 3 . Also described are articles comprising such assembled intermediate.

Abstract:
The fastener (1) includes a backing (2) and rows (14) of rail segments (4) and at least one rib (26) protruding perpendicularly from a first major surface of the backing (2). Each of the rail segments (4) has a base portion (10) attached to the backing and a cap portion (8) distal from the backing. The cap portion (8) has a cap width that is greater than a width of the base portion (10), and the cap portion (8) overhangs the base portion (10) on opposing sides. The base portion has a length that is greater than the width of the base portion. The rib (26) has at least a continuous base portion (23) attached to the backing (2) and a height that is no greater than a height of the rail segments (4), and the continuous base portion (23) is continuous along the length of the backing (2) for at least the length of five rail segments (4). A fastening system that includes the fastener and a package (100) that includes the fastener are also described.
Abstract:
A reclosable package and processes for making it are disclosed. The reclosable package includes a front panel, a back panel, an upper seal region adapted to be broken to allow a first opening of the reclosable package, a lower seal opposite the upper seal region, a vertical seal extending between the upper seal region and the lower seal on the back panel between the first side edge and the opposing second side edge; and a self-mating fastener disposed adjacent the upper seal region in an interior of the reclosable package. The self-mating fastener includes first and second fastener members each having fastener elements, an open configuration to allow access to the interior volume of the reclosable package, and a closed configuration in which the fastener elements of the first and second fastener members are engaged. In the closed configuration, the self-mating fastener is up to 800 micrometers thick.
Abstract:
A method of making absorbent foam composites and absorbent foam composites produced therefrom. The method comprises casting an absorbent foam layer having a first side and a second side opposite the first side onto a barrier layer having a first side and second side opposite the first side, where the second side of the absorbent foam layer is in contact with the first side of the barrier layer; joining a second absorbent layer to the second side of the barrier layer before, during, or after the casting step; and breaching the barrier layer after the casting step so that the foam layer and second absorbent layer are in fluid communication. The absorbent foam composites can be used in a variety of applications, including personal hygiene articles, medical bandages, pet pads and agricultural pads.
Abstract:
The process includes providing a tool roll having a first groove in its outer surface. The first groove has a width of not more than 250 micrometers and a depth of at least 250 micrometers and has multiple protrusions around its peripheral surface. The process includes contacting the outer surface of the tool roll (610, 810) with a moldable material (660). The moldable material (660) fills at least 90 percent of the depth of the first groove (820a). The process further includes removing the structured film (670) from the outer surface of the tool roll (610). The structured film comprises a rib (26) having at least a continuous base portion (23) attached to a first major surface of a backing (2) and a distal portion distal from the backing (2). The distal portion of the rib (26) has a series of notches (29) corresponding to the multiple protrusions (830) around the peripheral surface of the first groove (820a).
