BREATHABLE FILMS AND ARTICLES INCORPORATING SAME

Breathable films formed from polyethylene are provided that can have desirable properties. In one aspect, a breathable film comprises a layer formed from a composition comprising a first composition, wherein the first composition comprises at least one ethylene-based polymer and wherein the first composition comprises a MWCDI value greater than 0.9, and a melt index ratio (I10/I2) that meets the following equation: I10/I27.01.2log(I2).

Disposable diaper having reduced absorbent core to backsheet gluing

The present disclosure generally relates to disposable diapers having absorbent cores comprising superabsorbent polymer particles which are immobilized by adhesive. The absorbent cores are attached to the backsheets of the disposable diapers in certain attachment zones to reduce see-through and the formation of tension lines on the backsheets.

An absorbent member containing a hydrophobic material subjected to hydrophilic treatment, a plurality of through holes passing through the absorbent member in a thickness direction formed at a portion of the absorbent member in a target region (P). The absorbent member has a layer-stacked structure of a plurality of layers, stacked in the thickness direction. The Klemm water absorption height of a lower layer most proximal to the backsheet is higher than that of an upper layer most proximal to the topsheet. The backsheet contains a moisture permeable film including a plurality of microvoids, and having water repellent portions formed by water repellent finishing, on a portion in the target region (P) of a skin-facing surface of the moisture permeable film. A ratio of the total area of portions on which the water repellent finishing is performed to the area of the target region (P) is from 30% to 60%.

ETHYLENE-BASED POLYMER COMPOSITION FOR FILMS WITH IMPROVED TOUGHNESS

The invention provides a composition comprising a first composition, comprising at least one ethylene-based polymer, and wherein the first composition comprises a MWCDI value greater than 0.9, and a melt index ratio I10/I2 that meets the following equation: I10/I27.01.2log (I2). The invention also provides a process to form a composition comprising at least two ethylene-based polymers, said process comprising the following: polymerizing ethylene, and optionally at least one comonomer, in solution, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a metal-ligand complex of Structure I, as described herein, to form a first ethylene-based polymer; and polymerizing ethylene, and optionally at least one comonomer, in the presence of a catalyst system comprising a Ziegler/Natta catalyst, to form a second ethylene-based polymer.
