Abstract: Wet wipes impregnated with a solution which includes a mono alkyl phosphate are described. In particular, the solution in the wet wipes includes a phosphate ester surfactant which includes a mono alkyl phosphate having the following structural formula: wherein R represents a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon group having an average of from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, x represents a number of 0 to 20, and each of Y and Z represents hydrogen, an alkali metal, ammonium or an alkanol amine. Such wet wipes have improved tactile properties and cleaning efficacy without excessive skin irritation or foaming when compared to conventional wet wipes.

Abstract: A wet wipe container having improved opening and improved tear resistance between the lid and the base among other features. The container includes a container base and a container lid that is connected to the container base. In one embodiment, the container lid has a guide ridge that extends downward into the interior of the container. The guide ridge permits the container lid to be in a partially open position and provides better alignment between the container lid and the container base during closing of the container. In another embodiment, the container includes a closure that has an upwardly extending tongue projection, a flattened grip area and an assistive region to increase the ease with which the container can be opened. The invention also relates to a container having a more tear resistant container lid. The container lid has a hinge channel of a primary thickness. The hinge channel has two end regions that are of a secondary thickness that is greater than the primary thickness.

Abstract: A container including a container base and a container lid that is connected to the container base. The container base includes a bottom and a front wall, a rear wall and a pair of opposed side walls that extend upwardly from the bottom to provide an interior for containing the wet wipes. At least one of the walls has a plurality of generally linear ribs formed therein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a liquid absorbent material that is particularly useful as a liner material for personal care absorbent articles such as diapers, training pants, incontinence garments, sanitary napkins, bandages and the like. The material contains a plurality of peaks across its surface at spaced-apart intervals separated by channels. Disposed within the peaks is a liquid absorbing material capable of absorbing body exudates and liquids in general. Due to the materials and the nature of the construction of the present invention, when used as a liner material for personal care absorbent articles such as diapers, it tends to reduce the total surface area in contact with the infant's skin and it also provides a plurality of air channels within the diaper from the front waistband to the back waistband of the diaper thereby providing a path for increased air circulation.

Abstract: A 3-dimension thermoformed bicomponent fiber nonwoven material comprising a lofty bicomponent material layer forming a plurality of peaks separated from one another by channels and having a basis weight in the range of about 0.5 to 7.0 ounces per square yard. The bicomponent material layer comprises a structural component and a heat activatable adhesive component suitable for thermoforming. Also disclosed are various configurations of this material suitable for use in absorbent personal care articles such as sanitary napkins, disposable diapers, incontinent-care pads and the like.

Abstract: Homogeneous antimicrobial compositions and antimicrobial wet wipes and lotions which include the antimicrobial compositions are described. The homogeneous antimicrobial composition includes at least about 50 weight percent water based on a total weight of the composition and an effective amount of a hydrophobic antimicrobial agent which is uniformly dispersed in the composition. The antimicrobial wet wipe includes from about 150 to about 600 weight percent of the antimicrobial composition based on the dry weight of the wipe. The homogenous antimicrobrial composition may include, based upon the total weight of the composition, (a) from about 0.01 to about 3.0 weight percent of a hydrophobic antimicrobrial agent; (b) from about 1.0 to about 15.0 weight percent of an amide; (c) from about 1.0 to about 30.0 weight percent of a surfactant; and (d) from about 50 to about 98 weight percent water.

Abstract: Methods of incorporating a hydrophobic substance into an aqueous solution in a manner which provides a homogeneous composition are described. The hydrophobic substance is at least partially dissolved in an amide to provide an active mixture. The active mixture is then combined with an aqueous solution to form a composition which may then be mixed for a sufficient amount of time to obtain a uniform dispersion. In a particular aspect, the aqueous solution may include a surfactant.
