Patent number: 9962324Abstract: A composition including a buffered lactic acid having a pH within the range of from 3.0 to 6.5 is disclosed. The composition is a lubricant composition and has a water activity of from 0.03 to 0.60. The friction between the absorbent product and the skin/mucous membrane of the user is reduced when in contact with the skin or mucous membrane of the user. An additional advantage is that the composition has a pH in the acidic range which is close to the pH of the skin and/or mucous membrane.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: SCA HYGIENE PRODUCTS ABInventors: Ulrika Husmark, Ulla Forsgren Brusk, Chatrine Stridfeldt

Patent number: 9801765Abstract: The present invention relates to an odor control material consisting of a water-insoluble particulate odor control agent and a thermoplastic water-soluble carrier matrix encapsulating the odor control agent. The carrier matrix dissolves when in contact with an aqueous solution, such as urine and the odor control material is obtained by means of thermoforming. The invention relates also to a method for the preparation of the odor control material and the use of the odor control material in absorbent products. The present odor control material minimizes dusting problems caused by particulate odor control agents in production processes.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: SCA HYGIENE PRODUCTS ABInventors: Ulla Forsgren Brusk, Chatrine Stridfeldt, Kent Malmgren
