Absorbent composite

An absorbent composite includes a porous base layer, a core layer, and a superabsorbent laminate layer. The core layer has a fluff pulp layer and superabsorbent polymer particles. The core layer is disposed on the base layer. The superabsorbent laminate layer is disposed on the core layer. The base layer, the core layer, and the superabsorbent laminate layer are compressed together and embossed under heat and pressure to form a plurality of embossed depressions. The embossed depressions are arranged across a major surface area of the superabsorbent laminate layer. The embossed depressions extend through the composite from the superabsorbent laminate layer and into the core layer and the base layer. A thin, soft, and pliable absorbent composite suitable for a variety of applications including wound care is thereby provided.

EMBOSSED ABSORBENT SYSTEMS AND ABSORBENT ARTICLES INCLUDING THE SAME

An absorbent system including an absorbent core with at least one material free zone, at least one central longitudinal extending deep embossed channel, and at least two longitudinal extending deep embossed channels positioned between the material free zone and lateral edges of the absorbent system.

An absorbent system including an absorbent core with at least one material free zone, at least one central longitudinal extending deep embossed channel, and at least two longitudinal extending deep embossed channels positioned between the material free zone and lateral edges of the absorbent system.

Method of Making an Absorbent Composite and Absorbent Articles Employing the Same
20220347022 · 2022-11-03 ·

Disclosed is an absorbent core composite for a disposable absorbent article. The absorbent composite has a first fabric, a body side second fabric, and a plurality of aggregates of superabsorbent particles (SAP) situated between the first fabric second fabric. About each of a plurality of the SAP aggregates, an arrangement of spaced apart bond sites secures the second fabric to the first fabric and form a pocket in which the SAP aggregate is secured between the first fabric and the second fabric. The body side second fabric is a bulky nonwoven including fibers that entangle at least some particles in the SAP aggregate.

Sanitary pad with increased absorbability
09820893 · 2017-11-21 ·

A multi layered sanitary pad having a unique shape and design for snug fit, increased absorption, comfort, obscurity and enhanced leak prevention that includes a body made up of embossed fleece layers. The upper surface of the sanitary pad includes a central protrusion extending longitudinally and laterally from end to end and side to side, the cross-shaped protrusion including additional cotton wadding, for increased absorption and leak prevention for extended wear. The top surface protrusion is shaped and sized to slightly penetrate the vaginal opening to ensure a snug comfortable fit to increase absorption and enhance leakage prevention along with extended wear. The top surface includes (4) recessed portions surrounding the central protrusion area, for a snug fit, additional absorption, leakage prevention and comfort.

Absorbent articles having channel-forming areas and wetness indicator
09789009 · 2017-10-17 · ·

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core having at least two longitudinally extending channel-forming areas and a wetness indicator. The core wrap comprises a top side and a bottom side, which are attached to each other through areas substantially free of absorbent material, so that when the absorbent material swells upon absorption of a liquid the core wrap forms channels along these areas substantially free of absorbent material. The wetness indicator is placed between the channel-forming areas or between at least one channel-forming area and at least one longitudinally extending side edge of the article, as seen for the exterior of the article.

Disposable hygiene article with improved fit

The present invention relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising first and second compression lines in a forward region of the article. The article has a core with a first area which has its narrowest width (M) in the transverse direction (x) in a front portion or at a location of a transition between the front portion and a crotch portion of the article. The absorbent core in the crotch portion comprises the first and second compression lines, which are separated from each other at their closest point by a minimum distance D1, measured in the transverse direction.
