Stretch Bonded Laminate Including An Elastic Member Containing An Adhesive Composition

View page
US Patent:
8153238, Apr 10, 2012
Filed:
Dec 14, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/302990
Inventors:
Gregory K. Hall - Menasha WI, US
Peiguang Zhou - Appleton WI, US
Xiaomin Zhang - Appleton WI, US
Daniel Wideman - Menasha WI, US
Thomas Vercauteren - Greenville WI, US
Assignee:
Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc. - Neenah WI
International Classification:
B32B 27/06
US Classification:
4281951, 428196, 442328, 442329, 442366, 442400, 442401
Abstract:
Elastic composite laminates are disclosed. The laminates include an elastic member bonded to at least one facing material. In accordance with the present disclosure, an adhesive composition is coextruded with an elastomeric material to form the elastic member. In this manner, the elastic member can be bonded to the facing material in a stretched state without having to apply a separate adhesive layer between the two materials. In one embodiment, the elastic member can be bonded to the facing material according to a pattern that includes bonded areas and non-bonded areas.

Substrate And Personal-Care Appliance For Health, Hygiene, And/Or Environmental Applications(S); And Method Of Making Said Substrate And Personal-Care Appliance

US Patent:
20070098767, May 3, 2007
Filed:
Nov 1, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/265390
Inventors:
Kenneth Close - New London WI, US
Jonathan Arendt - Appleton WI, US
Grey Anderson - Larsen WI, US
Thomas Vercauteren - Greenville WI, US
Wael Joseph - Appleton WI, US
Bhaskara Chilakamarri - Appleton WI, US
International Classification:
A61K 9/70
US Classification:
424443000
Abstract:
Substrates, and personal-care appliances made from such substrates, include an inter-bonded fibrous layer having shaped discontinuities and reinforcing strands attached to said inter-bonded fibrous layer. Pores between the fibers in the inter-bonded fibrous layer are suited to help hold liquid. The shaped discontinuities are suited to help generate suds or lather should the substrate or personal-care appliance be used in combination with a cleaning composition, soap formulation, or other such material having a surface-active agent or other chemical or compound that helps generate lather. The reinforcing strands help strengthen, or improve the wet resilience of, the inter-bonded fibrous layer. Furthermore, by selecting the appropriate ingredients of the reinforcing strands, the strands may be stiffer than the inter-bonded fibrous layer, thereby helping to provide some exfoliating character to the substrate or personal-care appliance.

Laminate Containing A Fluorinated Nonwoven Web

US Patent:
20070141930, Jun 21, 2007
Filed:
Dec 15, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/303035
Inventors:
Oomman Thomas - Alpharetta GA, US
David Jackson - Alpharetta GA, US
James Carr - Kaukauna WI, US
Thomas Vercauteren - Greenville WI, US
Daniel Wideman - Manasha WI, US
International Classification:
B32B 5/02
US Classification:
442059000, 442149000, 442328000, 442381000, 442401000
Abstract:
An elastic laminate that contains a nonwoven web bonded to an elastic layer is provided. The elastic layer contains one or more elastomeric polymers that are generally polar in nature, such as polyurethanes. To the contrary, the nonwoven web is formed from a material that is non-polar in nature. Nevertheless, one or more surfaces of the nonwoven web are fluorinated so that the resulting surface tension is increased. In this manner, the present inventors have discovered that, despite the difference in polarity between the layers, good attachment may be achieved without necessarily requiring an adhesive. Not only will such layers remained attached, but the functionality of the resulting laminate is also not adversely affected.

Method Of Forming An Absorbent Structure

US Patent:
20180185200, Jul 5, 2018
Filed:
Jan 5, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/398949
Inventors:
- Neenah WI, US
Steven Michael Hurley - Neenah WI, US
Donald LeRoy Smith - Tyler TX, US
Kendell Jean Williams - Greenville WI, US
Nicholas Alan Kraft - Matthews NC, US
Johanna Marie Buss - Appleton WI, US
David John Paulson - Appleton WI, US
Thomas Gerard Vercauteren - Appleton WI, US
Sara Lynn Rosack - Appleton WI, US
James George Van Himbergen - Kimberly WI, US
International Classification:
A61F 13/15
B05D 1/02
B05D 1/28
Abstract:
A liquid absorbent structure is made by dry laying a fibrous web having incorporated therein a superabsorbent material, and applying an aqueous composite stabilizer to at least one surface of the web. The aqueous composite stabilizer imparts integrity to the resulting structure without substantially impairing the effectiveness of the superabsorbent material to absorb liquid while forming the absorbent structure without removing the water from aqueous composite stabilizer or drying out the absorbent structure. The absorbent composite absorbs the water from the aqueous composite stabilizer. The absorbent composite comprises about 70% by weight of a superabsorbent material.
