Disclosed herein are compositions (e.g., sprays, paints, etc.) that comprise antimicrobial zeolite nanoparticles. Also provided are hemostatic compositions comprising zeolite nanoparticles, dryer sheets comprising zeolite nanoparticles, and textiles comprising zeolite nanoparticles. Also disclosed are compositions (e.g., sprays) that include a binder polymer to improve coating adherence. In some cases, the zeolite nanoparticles can further comprise an optical tracer (e.g., a fluorophore) associated with the zeolite nanoparticles. The optical tracer can be interrogated to confirm presence of the zeolite nanoparticles (or a coating comprising the zeolite nanoparticles) on a surface. Also provided are methods of forming viricidal coatings using compositions that comprise zeolite nanoparticles dispersed in a carrier.

Melt-blown fiber comprising two polypropylenes which differ in their molecular weight.

An absorbent hygienic article for absorbing body fluids, the article including a liquid permeable topsheet, a backing layer and an absorbent core arranged between the topsheet and the backing layer, the topsheet and the backing layer being made from roll materials. The topsheet or an absorbent layer in the absorbent core is constituted by a cellulosic fibrous web, the fibres in the cellulosic fibrous web being constituted by a mixture of cellulose fibres including regenerated cellulose fibres or natural cellulose staple fibres and cellulose pulp fibres, the cellulosic fibrous web being a foam-formed, hydroentangled fibrous web.

An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article comprises a liquid permeable topsheet on a wearer-facing side of the absorbent article and a garment-facing laminate on a garment-facing side of the absorbent article. The garment-facing laminate comprises a first nonwoven layer and a second layer joined to the first nonwoven layer. The first nonwoven layer comprises a plurality of apertures. At least 3 of the plurality of apertures in a repeat unit have a different Effective Aperture Area, according to the Aperture Test herein, a different shape, or a different Absolute Feret Angle, according to the Aperture Test herein. The absorbent article comprises an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the garment-facing laminate.

The present disclosure relates to an absorbent fibrous web, in which the fibres are constituted by cellulosic fibres including cellulosic staple fibres and cellulose pulp fibres and the absorbent fibrous web is a foam-formed hydro-entangled fibrous web. The present disclosure further relates to a method of manufacturing such an absorbent fibrous web.

A nonwoven fabric structure for absorbent articles comprising a first layer, a second layer and superabsorbent particles, said first layer comprising endless filaments, —which comprise at least a first polymeric material (A) and a second polymeric material (B) having its melting point lower than the first polymeric material (A), —wherein the second polymeric material (B) extends in the longitudinal direction of the filament and forms at least a part of the surface of the filament and—the first layer contains filament-to-filament bonds formed of the second polymeric material (B), —void volume between the filaments of the first layer forms at least 65% of the volume of the first layer, the second layer comprising endless filaments, wherein the superabsorbent particles are arranged at least between the first layer and the second layer and within some of the voids of the first layer and/or the second layer.

Nonwoven fabrics are provided that include a plurality of mono-component spunbond fibers comprising a polymeric material including a polymeric blend of (i) a TS7 value of at most about 30 as determined by a Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) from Emtec Innovative Testing Solutions; (ii) a HF value of at least about 40 as determined by a Tissue Softness Analyzer (TSA) from Emtec Innovative Testing Solutions; (iii) a delta value of at least 20, wherein the delta value is determined by subtracting the TS7 value from the HF value; (iv) a TS7 value that is from about 5% to about 35% lower than that of an identically constructed nonwoven fabric formed from 100% polypropylene; and (v) a HF value that is from about 5% to about 35% larger than that of an identically constructed nonwoven fabric formed from 100% polypropylene.

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property.

This non-woven fabric comprises the following configuration. In this non-woven fabric for a liquid-permeable sheet of an absorbent article, said non-woven fabric comprising a thickness direction, a planar direction, a first face, and a second face: the non-woven fabric includes thermoplastic resin fibers, and cellulosic fibers, at least a portion whereof configures a plurality of fiber masses; the non-woven fabric further comprises a plurality of spaces which are adjacent to first regions of each of the plurality of fiber masses, said first regions facing the first face; and each of the plurality of fiber masses is not bonded to the thermoplastic resin fibers.

An elastic fiber of the present invention having an elastic fiber treatment agent attached to the fiber surface, comprises: a hydrocarbon resin (A) having a structure in which a polymer including a structural unit whose monomer is at least one selected from aromatic olefins and aliphatic diolefins as the main structural unit is partially or fully hydrogenated; and a hydrocarbon oil (B). In this way, an elastic fiber and a fiber structure comprising the same are provided that are suitable for obtaining an elastic sheet that has excellent elastic fiber unraveling properties and adhesiveness to hot melt adhesives, and that exhibits good adhesiveness even when processed at a high draft, and for obtaining a sanitary product that is soft to the touch.
