  • Absorbent articles with improved odor control
    Patent number: 9012716
    Abstract: A technique for incorporating odor control agent particles into an absorbent article is provided. More specifically, the odor control particles are “homogenously” distributed (e.g., in a substantially uniform manner) within an airformed fiber matrix of an absorbent core of an absorbent article. An absorbent core containing such a homogeneously distributed odor control particles may possess a greater surface area for contacting malodorous compounds, thereby increasing the likelihood of odor reduction.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2010
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2015
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.
    Inventors: David Arthur Fell, Megan Lan, William Anthony Georger, Kelly Davis Arehart, Bao Trong Do, Stephanie Michelle Martin
