Abstract: A fluid management cover system of launderable and durable character including at least one fluid transport layer with at least one absorptive reservoir layer disposed in underlying relation to the fluid transport layer. The upper surface of the absorptive reservoir layer is characterized by a greater capillarity than the adjacent surface of the fluid transport layer such that fluid is drawn away from the fluid transport layer and is held within the absorptive reservoir layer. At least one pressure distribution layer incorporating material that at least partially recovers following compression is disposed at a position below the absorptive reservoir layer. An optional skin contacting layer may be disposed above the fluid transport layer and an optional backing layer may be disposed in underlying relation to other layers.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions comprising naphthalimide derivative colorants themselves comprising naphthalimide backbones with specific water-solubilizing pendant moieties attached. These pendant moieties are based upon aryloxypolyoxyalkylene groups which provide the desired solubility to the naphthalimide colorant compound. Furthermore, the aryloxypolyoxyalkylene groups facilitate the further addition of other pendant groups to the base compound which increase or decrease the solubility of the resultant naphthalimide derivative colorant as well. Such modified naphthalimides are useful as fluorescent colorants, particularly for and within other liquid media (such as liquid detergents). The particular types of compositions encompassed within this invention include aqueous and non-aqueous media, such as, without limitation, liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, fabric softeners, light duty liquid cleaning compositions, paint strippers, cleaning solvents, and the like.
