Abstract: An improved material for liquid absorption including an absorbent material in particle form with a very low average particle size dispersed into a selected inert hydrophilic organic carrier which is solid at room temperature. The present invention also includes an improved process for manufacturing the material. Such liquid absorbing material can be utilized in the absorbent cores of disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, interlabial devices, tampons, disposable diapers, incontinence pads, wound dressings, nursing pads, and the like.

Abstract: Release sheet materials for use as packaging material for individually packaged disposable absorbent articles, typically sanitary napkins and the like, and release compositions to be used in said release sheet materials.

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles, typically for feminine protection, comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent element positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, and at least a fluid acquisition/distribution layer. The absorbent article also comprises edge barrier elements for intercepting fluids. The edge barrier elements comprise a liquid absorbent thermoplastic composition comprising a polymeric base material having particles of water-insoluble water-swellable absorbent material dispersed therein, and are comprised between the absorbent core and the at least one fluid acquisition/distribution layer.

The absorbent article also comprises edge barrier elements for intercepting fluids. The edge barrier elements comprise a liquid absorbent thermoplastic composition comprising a polymeric base material having particles of water-insoluble water-swellable absorbent material dispersed therein, and are provided with a basis weight gradient along their respective width or length in the liquid absorbing thermoplastic composition and/or in the particles of water-insoluble water-swellable absorbent material dispersed therein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for making liquid absorbing thermoplastic materials comprising a thermoplastic polymeric composition and an absorbent material in particle form dispersed in the thermoplastic polymeric composition. Such liquid absorbing thermoplastic material can be utilised in the absorbent cores of disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, interlabial devices, tampons, disposable diapers, incontinence pads, wound dressings, nursing pads and the like for completely or partially substituting said absorbent cores.
