  • the present invention relates to disposable absorbent articles particularly sanitary napkins, pantiliners, adult incontinence products or baby diapers which have side cuffs.
  • the present invention relates to such disposable absorbent articles with side cuffs which are maintained in their in use position by direct attachment to the skin of the wearer.
  • the present invention does not relate to wound covering absorbent articles but relates to absorbent articles for absorption of body liquids which naturally emanate from a body without a wound.
  • body liquids which naturally emanate from a body without a wound.
  • baby or adult diapers sanitary napkins or pantiliners for use in the genital region are such articles.
  • incontinence devices which are worn e.g. in the genital region of a person are the subject of the present invention.
  • WO 96/13238 a frequency dependent body adhesive model is disclosed. However, all measurements disclosed, e.g. on page 9, were made at temperatures between -60°C and +120°C and at actual frequencies of 0.1 to 100 rad/s. In order to obtain the necessary data at application temperature (about 20°C, typical bath room, i.e. storage temperature) the Williams-Landel-Ferry (hereinafter WLF) equation was used.
  • WLF Williams-Landel-Ferry
  • This WLF equation is empirical and only valid within certain limits e.g. it cannot be used to extrapolate to temperatures below the glass transition temperature of a polymeric adhesive also the WLF cannot be used on the basis of values obtained below the glass transition temperature. Details about the WLF equation and its applicability can be found in "Principles of Polymer processing" by Z. Tadmor and C.G. Gogos, published by John Wiley & Sons or in "Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers" by J.D. Ferry also published by John Wiley & Son. Since this is already missing from WO 96/13238 the applicability of the disclosed data cannot be assessed. Further this document does not disclose absorbent articles having side cuffs but only relates to articles directly attached to the skin.
  • European Patent Application EP-638 303 discloses the use of a body adhesive on side cuffs of sanitary napkins in order to keep the cuffs in an upright position. However, this document does not disclose any details on the particular adhesive useful in this context. Swiss publication CH-643730 discloses the use of a very long sanitary napkin having chamfered outer edges with a body adhesive at the four corners of the outer edges in order to provide a body adhesive area well outside the region of public hair growth.

  • This invention relates to disposable absorbent articles which have side cuffs.
  • the article exhibits absorbency for bodily fluids, the protection of the user's garments from soiling, improved physical comfort to the user, and which article is easy to produce and to package.
  • the disposable absorbent article is described below by reference to a sanitary napkin or catamenial, however panty liners, adult incontinence articles or baby diapers are also included under the term disposable absorbent articles.
  • sanitary napkin refers to an article which is worn by females adjacent to the pudendal region and which is intended to absorb and contain the various body fluids which are discharged from the body (e.g., vaginal discharges, menses, and/or urine) and which is intended to be discarded after a single use.
  • the disposable absorbent article is preferably thin, more preferably between 1 and 5 mm thick and can either be substantially flat prior to use or in a preshaped form.
  • joind or "affixed”, as used herein, encompasses configurations whereby a first member is directly connected to a second member and configurations whereby a first member is indirectly connected to a second member by connecting the first member to intermediate members which in turn are connected to the second member.
  • a sanitary napkin of the present invention comprises a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet, and an absorbent core intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet.
  • the sanitary napkin has two main surfaces, a body contacting or wearer facing surface, and a garment facing or contacting surface.
  • Suitable woven and non woven materials can be comprised of natural fibers (e.g., wood or cotton fibers), synthetic fibers (e.g., polymeric fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene fibers) or from a combination of natural and synthetic fibers or bi-/multi-component fibers.
  • natural fibers e.g., wood or cotton fibers
  • synthetic fibers e.g., polymeric fibers such as polyester, polypropylene, or polyethylene fibers
  • Preferred topsheets for use in the present invention are typically selected from high loft nonwoven topsheets and apertured formed film topsheets.
  • Apertured formed films are especially preferred for the topsheets because they are pervious to body exudates and yet non absorbent and have a reduced tendency to allow fluids to pass back through and rewet the wearer's skin.
  • the surface of the formed film that is in contact with the wearer remains dry, thereby reducing body soiling and creating a more comfortable feel for the wearer.
  • micro apertured formed film topsheets are disclosed in U.S. patent 4,609,518 and U.S. patent 4,629,643.
  • a preferred topsheet for the present invention comprises the formed film described in one or more of the above patents and marketed on sanitary napkins by The Procter & Gamble Company of Cincinnati, Ohio as "DRI-WEAVE".
  • Topsheets having not a homogeneous distribution of liquid passage ways but only a portion of the topsheet comprising liquid passage ways are also contemplated by the present invention. Typically such topsheets would have the liquid passage ways oriented such that they result in a centrally permeable and peripherally impermeable topsheet for liquids.
  • the wearer facing surface of the formed film topsheet can be hydrophilic so as to help liquid to transfer though the topsheet faster than if the body surface was not hydrophilic.
  • surfactant is incorporated into the polymeric materials of the formed film topsheet such as is described in PCT- publication WO 93/09741.
  • the wearer facing surface of the topsheet can be made hydrophilic by treating it with a surfactant such as is described in U.S. 4,950,254.
  • hybrid topsheets which incorporate fibrous and film like structures particularly useful embodiments of such hybrid topsheets are disclosed in PCT publications WO 93/09744; WO 93/11725 or WO 93/11726.
  • the topsheet typically extends across the whole of the absorbent structure and outside the area coextensive with the absorbent structure.
  • the topsheet can extend and form part or all of the preferred side flaps, side wrapping elements or wings.
  • topsheet When referring to the topsheet a multi layer structure or a mono layer structure is contemplated.
  • the hybrid topsheet mentioned above is such a multi layer design but other multi layer topsheets such as primary and secondary topsheet designs are also considered.
  • the absorbent structure or absorbent core can include the following components: (a) optionally a primary fluid distribution layer preferably together with a secondary optional fluid distribution layer; (b) a fluid storage layer; (c) optionally a fibrous ("dusting") layer underlying the storage layer; and (d) other optional components.
  • One optional component of the absorbent structure according to the present invention is a primary fluid distribution layer and a secondary fluid distribution layer.
  • the primary distribution layer typically underlies the topsheet and is in fluid communication therewith.
  • the topsheet transfers the acquired fluid to this primary distribution layer for ultimate distribution to the storage layer.
  • This transfer of fluid through the primary distribution layer occurs not only in the thickness, but also along the length and width directions of the absorbent product.
  • the also optional but preferred secondary distribution layer typically underlies the primary distribution layer and is in fluid communication therewith. The purpose of this secondary distribution layer is to readily acquire fluid from the primary distribution layer and transfer it rapidly to the underlying storage layer. This helps the fluid capacity of the underlying storage layer to be fully utilised.
  • the fluid distribution layers can be comprised of any material typical for such distribution layers. In particular fibrous layers maintain the capillaries between fibers even when wet are useful as distribution layers.
  • the fluid storage layer can comprise any usual absorbent material or combinations thereof. It preferably comprises absorbent gelling materials usually referred to as "hydrogel”, “superabsorbent”, hydrocolloid” materials in combination with suitable carriers.
  • the absorbent gelling materials are capable of absorbing large quantities of aqueous body fluids, and are further capable of retaining such absorbed fluids under moderate pressures.
  • the absorbent gelling materials can be dispersed homogeneously or non-homogeneously in a suitable carrier.
  • the suitable carriers provided they are absorbent as such, can also be used alone.
  • Suitable absorbent gelling materials for use herein will most often comprise a substantially water-insoluble, slightly cross-linked, partially neutralised, polymeric gelling material. This material forms a hydrogel upon contact with water
  • polymer materials can be prepared form polymerizable, unsaturated, acid- containing monomers which are well known in the art.
  • Suitable carriers include materials which are conventionally utilised in absorbent structures such as natural, modified or synthetic fibers, particularly modified or non-modified cellulose fibers, in the form of fluff and/or tissues. Suitable carriers can be used together with the absorbent gelling material, however, they can also be used alone or in combinations. Most preferred are tissue or tissue laminates in the context of sanitary napkins/panty liners.
  • An embodiment of the absorbent structure made according to the present invention comprises a double layer tissue laminate formed by folding the tissue onto itself. These layers can be joined to each other. Absorbent gelling material or other optional material can be comprised between the layers.
  • Modified cellulose fibers such as the stiffened cellulose fibers can also be used.
  • Synthetic fibers can also be used and include those made of cellulose acetate, polyvinyl fluoride, polyvinylidene chloride, acrylics (such as Orion), polyvinyl acetate, non-soluble polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamides (such as nylon), polyesters, bicomponent fibers, tricomponent fibers, mixtures thereof and the like.
  • the fiber surfaces are hydrophilic or are treated to be hydrophilic.
  • the storage layer can also include filler materials, such as Perlite, diatomaceous earth, Vermiculite, etc., to improve liquid retention.
  • An optional component for inclusion in the absorbent structure according to the present invention is a fibrous layer adjacent to, and typically underlying the storage layer.
  • This underlying fibrous layer is typically referred to as a "dusting” layer since it provides a substrate on which to deposit absorbent gelling material in the storage layer during manufacture of the absorbent structure. Indeed, in those instances where the absorbent gelling material is in the form of macro structures such as fibers, sheets or strips, this fibrous "dusting" layer need not be included. However, this "dusting" layer provides some additional fluid-handling capabilities such as rapid wicking of fluid along the length of the pad.
  • the absorbent structure according to the present invention can include other optional components normally present in absorbent webs.
  • a reinforcing scrim can be positioned within the respective layers, or between the respective layers, of the absorbent structure.
  • Such reinforcing scrims should be of such configuration as to not form interfacial barriers to fluid transfer. Given the structural integrity that usually occurs as a result of thermal bonding, reinforcing scrims are usually not required for thermally bonded absorbent structures.
  • odor control agents Another component which can be included in the absorbent structure according to the invention and preferably is provided close to or as part off the primary or secondary fluid distribution layer are odor control agents. Active carbon coated with or in addition to other odor control agents, in particular suitable zeolite or clay materials, are optionally incorporated in the absorbent structure. These components can be incorporated in any desired form but often are included as discrete particles.
  • the backsheet primarily prevents the exudates absorbed and contained in the absorbent structure from wetting articles that contact the absorbent product such as underpants, pants, pyjamas and undergarments.
  • the backsheet is preferably impervious to liquids (e.g. menses and/or urine) and is preferably manufactured from a thin plastic film, although other flexible liquid impervious materials can also be used.
  • liquids e.g. menses and/or urine
  • the term "flexible” refers to materials that are compliant and will readily conform to the general shape and contours of the human body.
  • the backsheet also can have elastic characteristics allowing it to stretch in one or two directions.
  • the backsheet can comprise a woven or nonwoven material, polymeric films such as thermoplastic films of polyethylene or polypropylene, or composite materials such as a film-coated nonwoven material.
  • the backsheet is a polyethylene film having a thickness of from about 0.012 mm (0.5 mil) to about 0.051 mm (2.0 mils).
  • Exemplary polyethylene films are manufactured by Clopay Corporation of Cincinnati, Ohio, under the designation P18-1401 and by Ethyl Corporation, Visqueen Division, of Terre Haute, Indiana, under the designation XP-39385.
  • the backsheet is preferably embossed and/or matte finished to provide a more clothlike appearance.
  • the backsheet also provides breathability to the absorbent article by being at least water vapour permeable, preferably air permeable, however, without compromising the main function of the backsheet.
  • the backsheet can be a laminate material e.g. of a combination of microporous film, non-woven material, and/or apertured formed film. Breathability if desired can be limited to the periphery of the backsheet or it can be across the whole backsheet.
  • the absorbent articles according to the present invention comprise side cuffs.
  • side cuffs refers to articles having barrier means which are capable of extending away from the wearer facing surface of the article. They are located close to portions of the periphery of an absorbent article, in particular close to the longitudinal sides of the article.
  • Side cuffs are well known in the art and widely used on diapers and sanitary napkins. They can be formed integrally with or separate from the article. For example in articles having a topsheet, the topsheet can have an extension or a fold at the longitudinal sides of the article which is capable of extending from the wearer facing surface towards the wearer.
  • the barrier function of side cuffs to improve leakage is undisputed when considering the numerous variations of side cuff executions described in the art and in commercial used on diapers or sanitary napkins.
  • Side cuffs can be impermeable, liquid-impermeable but breathable, hydrophobic, hydrophilic but treated to be hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
  • US 3,860,003 discloses elasticised disposable absorbent articles wherein an elastic member is positioned in the side flap of the product between the topsheet and the backsheet in order to form a boat-like configuration such that the side flaps form a barrier along the edges of the product.
  • US 4,738,677 shows two type of barrier cuffs. One set of barrier cuffs extending in a longitudinal direction of the article while waist cuffs are also provided extending in lateral direction at the front and rear end of the article and overlapping with the other barrier cuffs. Thereby a pocket is formed by four overlapping cuffs.
  • the present invention is most suitably applied to side barrier cuffs in longitudinal direction while of course application to lateral barrier cuffs is also possible. More recently in WO 94/02095 extensible absorbent articles having extensible barriers are disclosed which are also susceptible to the benefits of the present invention.
  • Leg cuffs usually serve the function to wrap the leg of a wearer of a diaper while side cuffs are extending from the wearer facing surface towards the wearer, typically to make contact with the skin of the wearer.
  • the inventors are not aware that attempts have been made on diapers to provide a body adhesive to side cuffs. This may be partially due to the fact that diapers are attached to the wearer and hence remain better in place than e.g. sanitary napkins which are attached to an undergarment of the wearer.
  • the present invention does address the problem of providing a good bonding and painless debonding of topical application of side cuffs in order to maintain the side cuffs in their in use position which is connecting the side cuffs to the skin of a wearer.
  • the side cuffs according to the present invention can be activated (i.e. raised above the wearer facing surface) by various means.
  • they can be elasticised as is most common in the art.
  • side cuffs can be provided such that the side cuffs raise upon placing the article into an arcuate shape (as is generally the cross-sectional contour in the genital region of a wearer which would separate a wearer into left and right halfs).
  • side cuffs which are only activated by the body adhesive.
  • the side cuffs do not raise above the wearer facing surface towards the wearer prior to application of the article to the wearer.
  • panty fastening adhesive Upon pulling down of the undergarment the panty fastening adhesive is strong enough to delaminate the body adhesive on the side cuffs from the skin of the wearer and allow the side cuffs again to collapse onto the wearer facing surface of the sanitary napkin.
  • the side cuffs according to the present invention are attached directly to the skin of the user.
  • the word "skin" according to the present invention does not only relate to the specific derma of the user but include the mucous tissue as well as the hair which is typically found in the genital region of users e.g. of sanitary napkins.
  • the body adhesive is provided in a continuous line on the side cuff but it can be provided in incremental areas such as dots or discrete lines such that decoupling between the different places of attachment is providing additional comfort to the wearer of such articles.
  • PSA typical pressure sensitive adhesive
  • the absolute values of the elastic modulus should not be too high, otherwise the adhesive is too hard and it is not able to intimately join or mold to the surface to which it is expected to adhere. It is also important to have a low absolute value of G" in order to have good cohesion which is particularly valuable for a direct application on the human body while the material remains soft and capable of gently adhering to the skin.
  • materials useful as body adhesives according to the present invention have rheological characteristics which are measured at a reference temperature of 37°C as body temperature and in a range of frequencies. It has been found that upon application of an article with a body adhesive the adhesive contact is formed at a low frequency, while debonding happens at the speed of removing the article. This speed is expressed as a frequency of 100 rad/s while the low frequency of forming the adhesive bond has been found to be on the order of 1 rad/s. Therefore, the frequency range for use according to the present invention is between 1 and 100 rad/s. The following set of characteristics should be satisfied:
  • the variation of the viscous modulus C'37 is not greater than 10000 Pa, preferably not greater than 5000 Pa, most preferably not greater than 1000 Pa.
  • the value of the ratio C37/G"37 at least for the frequency range 1 rad/s to 100 rad/s should preferably be unity or above, more preferably 1.6 or above and most preferably 3.3 or above, while preferably not exceeding about 50.
  • G' and G" at the application frequency of 1 rad/s are taken at a temperature of 37°C.
  • the actual storage temperature of the article and hence the temperature of the body adhesive upon application varies widely.
  • storage in a hot bathroom near a radiator could reach up to about 37°C
  • storage in a storage room or in a bathroom without heating but with an open window during winter could be close to 0°C.
  • the article according to the present invention is used directly on skin and the wearer typically would not want to apply a too cold article the actual temperature of the body adhesive will reach 37°C very quickly or even be warmed up by the wearer prior to application.
  • the adhesive bonding characteristics are selected most appropriately at body temperature.
  • Tg Glass Transition Temperature
  • Tg should preferably be less than -15°C, more preferably less than -20°C and most preferably less than -25°C.
  • a macromolecular or polymeric component is present in minor quantities vs the plasticiser. It forms, in the preferred embodiments, a three dimensional network caused by physical or chemical links between the molecules. Particularly useful physical links are the ones present in systems containing Block Thermoplastic Elastomers.
  • compositions comprise:
  • macromolecular or polymeric substances can be natural and/or synthetic such as natural gums or derivatives such as natural gums and gelatines, their derivatives and alginates; polyacrilics; polyvinyl alcohol; polyethylene oxide; polyvinylpyrrolidon (PVP) or polyvinylethers, their copolymers and derivatives; cellulose derivatives; Block Copolymer Thermoplastic Elastomers and preferably Styrenic Block Copolymers and more preferably the hydrogenated grades Styrol/Ethylene-Butylene/Styrol (SEBS), Styrene/lsoprene/Styrene (SIS), and Styrol/Ethylene-Propylene/Styrol (SEPS).
  • SEBS Styrol/Ethylene-Butylene/Styrol
  • SIS Styrene/lsoprene/Styrene
  • SEPS Styrol/Ethylene-Propylene/Styrol
  • hydrophilic or hydrophobic liquid plasticisers may be for oily systems, e.g. the fatty acids of C ⁇ to C 22 , their metallic salts and their polyoxo-derivatives; lanolin derivatives; silica; bentonite, montmorillonite and their derivatives; polyamides, waxes or mixtures thereof.
  • additives known in the art as preservatives, antioxidants, anti UV, pigments, mineral fillers, rheology modifiers etc. can also be comprised in quantities up to 10 % each.
  • a crosslinking agent can be present preferably in quantities up to 5 % by weight.
  • Chemical crosslinking can be formed also by mutual neutralisation of polymers having different functionalities as in the reaction between acid polyacrylics and polysaccharides.
  • compositions for body adhesives can be divided into three families according to the nature of the main component, i.e. the liquid plasticiser(s):
  • both hydrophobic and hydrophilic components possibly in both plasticisers and polymers, form two or more separate phases.
  • an emulsifier/surfactant is preferably present at a suitable level to form stable emulsions between the incompatible phases.
  • the hydrophobic components are prevailing vs. the hydrophilic ones.
  • Hydrophilic compositions in which typically the plasticiser is water/glycerol/glycols and the like and/or mixtures thereof and the polymeric phase is of synthetic (e.g. polyacrilics) or natural (e.g. natural gums) origin or mixtures thereof.
  • hydrophilic compositions are not preferred while the hydrophobic and mixed phases compositions 1) and 2) are preferred in the applications of the present invention.
  • hydrophilic compositions used in the medical field show too low elastic character and cohesion for being useful in the present application.
  • the other reason to prefer hydrophobic or mixed phase compositions is that the application of the present invention in particular in the baby diaper and sanitary napkin field will include a probability of contacting the body adhesive with the liquid to be absorbed. Since the liquid to be absorbed are all of a general aqueous kind contact with a hydrophilic body adhesive would result in a certain absorption of the bodily liquids into the body adhesives.
  • hydrophilic body adhesive also tend to be perceived as cold and wet which upon application of a fresh sanitary napkin or a diaper is not in line with typical consumer expectation. Additional problems result from the fact that in particular body adhesives comprising water as the plasticiser have a tendency to dry out unless they are sealed into an impermeable package.
  • An oil based composition useful in the present invention was compounded using 9.9 % by weight of Kraton G-1651 , a Styrene/Ethylene-Butylene/Styrene block copolymer containing 33% by weight styrene and available from Shell Co, and 59.3 % by weight of Kaydol, a paraffinic mineral oil available from Witco Co.
  • composition contained 301 parts of tackifying resin per 100 parts of Kraton polymer.
  • the tackifying resin was Escorez 5300, a hydrogenated resin available from Exxon Co.
  • Magnesium Stearate available from Carlo Erba S.p.A., was used a a co-gelifying agent for oil at a level of 0.7 % by weight.
  • Irganox 1010 an antioxidant available from Ciba-Geigy, was added at a level of 0.3 % by weight.
  • the composition showed the following rheological properties at 37°C.
