An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article has a longitudinal centerline, a transverse centerline generally perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline, a wearer-facing surface and an opposing garment-facing surface, a front end region, an opposing back end region, and a central region disposed between the front end region and the back end region. The absorbent article further includes a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent system disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a plurality of pre-formed adhesive portions disposed on the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article exhibits a peel force of at least 1.0 N in accordance with the Peel Force test and leaves no residue in accordance with the Adhesive Residue test method.

A disposable absorbent article is described. The disposable absorbent article includes a topsheet forming at least a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article; a backsheet forming at least a portion of a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and an adhesive for attachment of the disposable absorbent article to an undergarment. The adhesive is disposed on the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article exhibits a peel force of at least 1.0 N, about 1.1 N or about 1.2 N in accordance with the Peel Force test and leaves no residue on an undergarment in accordance with the Adhesive Residue test.

A lettering film includes a lettering layer, a middle layer and a substrate layer. The lettering layer, the middle layer and the substrate layer are separably adhered to each other. The lettering layer has cutting stripes. The lettering film can be cut into characters and/or figures. The cutting marks of the characters and/or figures cut the lettering layer and the middle layer without cutting off the substrate layer. The lettering layer of the lettering film is adhered to an article and then the substrate layer and the middle layer are peeled off, whereby the lettering layer is adhered to the article and the cut characters and/or figures are adhered to the surface of the article.

An objective is to provide a stretchable conductor sheet which is useful as a material for electrical wiring and electrodes for garment-type electronic devices, the material having excellent durability in terms of washing and durability in terms of perspiration. A fabric provided with an electrode and an electrical wiring, which are formed from a stretchable conductor sheet, is obtained by: providing a film having releasability with a first stretchable conductor layer which is formed from a paste material that uses carbon-based particles as a conductive filler, while using a flexible resin as a binder resin; subsequently forming a second stretchable conductor layer, while using metal-based particles as a conductive filler; laminating a hot melt adhesive layer thereon; superposing the resulting laminate on a fabric after removing unnecessary parts from the laminate by means of partial slits; and subjecting the resulting fabric to hot pressing. Since the carbon-based particles adsorb a contamination substance of the metal-based particles, oxidation degradation and sulfuration degradation of the metal-based particles is reduced, thereby improving the durability.

Provided herein is an electronic patch for applying to a wearable item. The electronic patch includes a sensor comprising a sensor pad and a sensor base that together define a stepped arrangement, an electrically conductive underlayer disposed under the sensor base, a circuit layer disposed under the underlayer and electrically coupled to the sensor via the underlayer, a first elastic layer overlying the sensor base and arranged adjacent the sensor pad, and a second elastic layer disposed under the circuit layer. Also provided is a wearable item that includes the aforementioned electronic patch as well as methods of making said wearable item and electronic patch.

An absorbent article comprising a hotmelt adhesive comprising a styrene-block-copolymer (SBC), an amorphous polyolefin and optionally a tackifier. The SBC is preferably selected from the group of SEBS, SEPS and SEP polymers, and the amorphous polyolefin is preferably a propylene-based copolymer (PbP) having a weight-average molecular weight Mw of less than 10 000 g/mol. The hotmelt adhesive bonds two components of the article, for example SAP particles on the core wrap.

Disclosed herein are improved methods for bonding textiles using an adhesive composition.

Provided are a breathable waterproof membrane capable of being thermally-bonded to a fabric by using a hot melt adhesive that is dot-coated on the surface thereof, and a method of manufacturing the same. In particular, the present invention relates to a breathable waterproof membrane capable of being thermally-bonded to a fabric and a method of manufacturing the same, the membrane being applied to the manufacture of outdoor clothing, thereby giving excellent breathability and waterproof properties to the outdoor clothing and simplifying a manufacturing process of the outdoor clothing.

Disclosed are a hot melt tape for hook-and-loop fasteners without sewing which may be adhered at a low temperature and complete hardening of an adhesive resin in a short time and a method for manufacturing a seat padding material for vehicles using the same. The method includes preparing the padding material and a hook-and-loop fabric, preparing a hot melt tape having a hot melt resin layer by coating a surface of a release paper with a reactive hot melt resin having a melting point of 40-80° C. before reacting, adhering the hot melt tape to a surface of the padding material by applying heat of a temperature of 30-70° C. and pressure thereto, removing the release paper, adhering the hook-and-loop fabric to the exposed hot melt resin layer, and hardening the hot melt resin layer by cooling the padding material and the hook-and-loop fabric to a temperature of 0-20° C.
