Patent number: 11285239Abstract: Improved skin-adhesive compositions for bonding a substrate, such as an absorbent article, to skin are disclosed. More particularly, the skin-adhesive composition has an improved, yet gentle, adhesion to the skin of a user, while maintaining strong, effective bonding to various inanimate, non-skin substrates. In one embodiment, the skin-adhesive composition can provide one or more skin benefit agents to the user. The skin-adhesive composition may be applied to an absorbent article, such as a panty-liner, sanitary napkin, or an incontinence article, for directly adhering the article to the skin of a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Ali Yahiaoui, Candace Dyan Krautkramer, Margaret G.

Patent number: 9220646Abstract: Disclosed herein is a personal care absorbent article such as a feminine hygiene absorbent personal care article for receiving a body exudate such as menses. The article includes a topsheet layer, a backsheet layer, at least one absorbent core layer positioned between the topsheet layer and the backsheet layer, optionally a pair of wings, and a decolorization means associated with the article for altering the visual appearance and/or physical characteristics of the a body exudate. The use of the decolorization means provides several benefits to the end user including the creation of a visually smaller stain on the top surface of the topsheet layer and a possible reduction in staining of the wearer's apparel should the body exudate leak from or off of the article being worn.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: SangWook Lee, Shruti Aryal, Franz Aschenbrenner, JunMo Gil, Priscilla Eng Choo Goh, Kenneth G.

Patent number: 8987544Abstract: An absorbent article has a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction, a first major surface which forms a body-facing surface of the absorbent article, and a second major surface disposed distally from the first major surface which forms a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article. The article includes an absorbent core positioned between the first major surface and the second major surface. The article also includes at least one heat-activatable expandable structure. The at least one heat-activatable expandable structure is disposed on or below the first major surface. Application of heat to the heat-activatable expandable structure causes the heat-activatable expandable barrier structure to form distinctive designs, barriers and/or channels.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2010Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Simon Poruthoor, Rebecca Griffin, Lei Huang, Balaji K.

Patent number: 8895111Abstract: A printed nonwoven web having improved oil crockfastness when an ink composition is applied to an outer surface of the nonwoven is generally disclosed. For example, an ink composition that has improved resistance to rub off of the web, even if the ink composition contacts an oily substance (e.g., baby oil, lotion, etc.), can be printed on a surface of the web. The nonwoven web can be a layer in a laminate having at least a film layer and the nonwoven web layer. For example, the printed laminate can be used as the outercover of an absorbent article.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2007Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Simon Poruthoor, Lisa Sanabria, Ali Yahiaoui, Kelly Branham, Hue Scott Snowden, Olesya Sukhareva

Patent number: 8778386Abstract: An oxidizing anti-microbial treatment and products containing such treatment are described. The treatment involves, in part, preparing a substrate to accept an attachment of charged moieties, and a number of stabilized peroxide compounds on at least part of a surface of said substrate. When microbes, such as bacteria, having a net charge opposite to that of the charged moieties come in close proximity to the treated substrate surface, peroxide molecules from the substrate are activated and released to kill the microbes.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Kou-Chang Liu, David W. Koenig, Ali Yahiaoui, Alison Salyer Bagwell

Patent number: 8563017Abstract: A disinfectant wet wipe that contains a germicidal solution and a nonwoven web material is provided. The germicidal solution includes a peracid and peroxide, which can act synergistically together to be efficacious against pathogens when exposed thereto. To stabilize the solution over a period of time (e.g., during storage), a variety of aspects of the wipe are selectively controlled in accordance with the present invention. For example, the nonwoven web material used in the wipe is formed from a synthetic polymer and is relatively hydrophobic in nature. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that such materials possess a lower reduction potential for peroxides/peracids than cellulosic-based materials. In this manner, significant degradation of the peroxide or peracid contained in the germicidal solution is limited. To improve the wettability of the nonwoven web material, one or more surfactants are also employed in the germicidal solution.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2008Date of Patent: October 22, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Corey Thomas Cunningham, Victoria Elizabeth Encisco, Frances Luella Walsh, Gu Lou, Ali Yahiaoui

Patent number: 8551895Abstract: A laminate is generally provided having alcohol repellency properties. In one particular embodiment, the laminate includes a meltblown web bonded to a spunbond web (e.g., a SM laminate, a SMS laminate, a SMMS laminate, etc.). A fluorinated polymeric coating is attached to the surface of the spunbond web (e.g., grafted). The fluorinated polymeric coating comprises a perfluoroalkyl(alkyl) (meth)acrylate monomer polymerized on the surface of the spunbond web via exposure to a low frequency energy source. The perfluoroalkyl(alkyl) (meth)acrylate monomer has a perfluoroalkyl side groups comprising —(CF2)z—F, where z is an integer from 1 to 6. The laminate has an alcohol repellency of greater than 80%.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2010Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventors: Ali Yahiaoui, Anthony S.
