Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable covering sheet which is moisture vapour permeable and liquid impermeable and has odour control properties and, if desired, also active agent releasing properties. The disposable covering sheet comprises at least a moisture vapour permeable layer and a liquid impermeable but moisture vapour permeable film layer of thermoplastic compositions. The disposable covering sheet such as, for example, a mattress cover or a pillow cover gives a better comfort to the user by providing odour control properties and, if desired, also active agent releasing properties. The disposable covering sheet of the present invention can find a variety of applications wherein moisture vapour permeability and liquid imperviousness combined with specific odour control properties and preferably also active agent releasing properties are desirable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a disposable covering sheet which is moisture vapour permeable and liquid impermeable and contains active agent or agents. The disposable covering sheet comprises at least a moisture vapour permeable layer and a liquid impermeable but moisture vapour permeable film layer of thermoplastic compositions. The disposable covering sheet such as, for example, a mattress cover or a pillow cover gives a better comfort to the user by providing active agent releasing properties. The disposable covering sheet of the present invention can find a variety of applications wherein moisture vapour permeability and liquid imperviousness combined with long lasting active agent releasing properties are desirable.

Abstract: Disposable covering sheet for bedding articles that is moisture vapour permeable and liquid impermeable and comprises at least a moisture vapour permeable fibrous layer and a liquid impermeable but moisture vapour permeable film layer of preferred thermoplastic compositions. Use of the disposable covering sheet as, for example, a mattress or pillow cover provides increased comfort to the user. The disposable covering sheet disclosed herein can be used in a variety of applications, particularly when the benefits of moisture vapour permeability, liquid imperviousness, disposability and increased in-use comfort are desired.

Abstract: The present invention relates to thermoplastic hydrophilic polymeric compositions for making a liquid impermeable moisture vapour permeable structure, for example by forming the composition into a layer or film. The thermoplastic compositions comprise preferred thermoplastic polymers and suitable hydrophilic tackifying resins that provide the thermoplastic hydrophilic composition with a desired adhesiveness or tackiness level, without impairing the moisture vapour permeability of films or layers made from the thermoplastic hydrophilic polymeric compositions. The layers made from the thermoplastic hydrophilic polymeric compositions of the present invention can find a variety of applications wherein liquid imperviousness and moisture vapour permeability are desirable.
