Abstract: The present invention relates to hydrogel adhesives for attachment to mammalian skin which exhibit particularly good compatibility with skin, in addition to excellent attachment and painless removal properties including in excess moisture conditions. Such adhesives comprise 20-60 wt % of a cross-linked hydrophilic polymer, 5-80 wt % of a water-soluble nonionic humectant, and 10-85 wt % water. The hydrophilic polymer comprises 1-50 mole % of one or more strong-acid monomers having a pKa below 3 and 50-99 mole % of one or more weak-acid monomers, having a pKa above 3, the strong-acid monomer being essentially in its salt form, and the weak-acid monomer being at least 50 mole % in its acid form, and at least 5 mole % in its salt form. The pH of the hydrogel adhesive is from 3 to 6, preferably from 3 to 5.5, most preferably 3.5 to 5.

Abstract: The invention is a disposable absorbent article for topical adhesive attachment to a wearer. The article has a wearer facing surface and a garment facing surface and comprises an absorbent core. The article comprises an adhesive on at least the wearer facing surface. The adhesive has a dynamic elastic behaviour so that the difference between G′37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec and G′37 at a frequency of 100 rad/sec is not greater than 150% of G′37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec. The adhesive has a dynamic viscous behavior so that the difference between G″37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec and G″37 at a frequency of 100 rad/sec is not greater than 10,000 Pa. The ratio G′37 over G″37 in the frequency range 1-100 rad/s is greater or equal to 3.3.
