Abstract: A dispersible wet wipe includes a layer of cellulosic fibers. In one embodiment, a first binder is applied in a coating comprising randomly distributed deposits of the binder. A second binder is applied in an intermittent pattern on the surface to define first regions on the surface that include first binder but no second binder and to define second regions on the surface that include both first binder and second binder. The first and second binders can have the same chemical composition. In a second embodiment, a first binder is applied to a web surface in a first pattern, and, after applying the first binder, a second binder is applied to the web surface in a second pattern that is different than the first pattern. In a third embodiment, a binder is applied to a web surface in a pattern, the pattern having first regions and second regions, wherein the add-on level of the binder in the first regions is lower than the add-on level of the binder in the second regions.

Abstract: A tea-making appliance comprising a lidded vessel (10) adapted to contain water, an electric heater for heating to a pre-set temperature water contained in the vessel, an apertured container (12) adapted to contain tea (leaves), means suspending the container (12) from the lid (14) of the vessel and electrically powered means (18) for lowering into and raising the container (12) out of the water in accordance with a start and finish respectively of a prescribed brewing programme and for agitating the container (12) during part at least of the brewing programme.

Abstract: A dispensing container for wet wipes includes a pop-up style dispensing means formed by a rigid port which surrounds a flexible, rubber-like material or sheet having one or more slits through which the wet wipes are dispensed. The configuration of the slits, in combination with the flexibility of the rubber-like material, enables the user to insert at least one finger through the slit to thread a wipe through the slit. The dispensing means has a Penetration Index of greater than 600 grams.

Abstract: Devices for treating wounds and methods of treating wounds are described. In use, the devices allow both mechanical force and negative pressure therapy.

Abstract: A dispersible wet wipe constructed of at two layers is disclosed. The first outer layer of the wipe substrate may have a density of between about 0.5 and 2.0 grams per cubic centimeter. The second outer layer may have a density of between about 0.05 and 0.15 grams per cubic centimeter. A triggerable binder composition binds said web substrate together. The wet wipe also includes a wetting composition including at least 0.3 percent of an insolubilizing agent.

Abstract: A single-ply dispersible wet wipe constructed from a single-ply wipe substrate containing a fibrous substrate and a binder composition is disclosed. The binder composition may be applied substantially to the outer surfaces of the fibrous substrate. The wet wipes also contain a wetting composition containing between about 0.5 and about 3.5 percent of an insolubilizing agent, such as salt. Upon agitation in water for ten minutes or less, the single-ply wipe substrate splits into two sections to enhance the dispersibility of the product.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to dispersible wet wipes. More particularly, the disclosure relates to a dispersible wet wipe constructed of a wipe substrate containing a tissue web consisting of cellulose fibers and a binder composition for binding said binder composition to said tissue web. The tissue web contains cellulose fibers that have a fiber length of 3 mm or less. The construction of the dispersible wipes may allow for a pass through percentage value calculates via a dispersibility shake flask test of at least about 70 percent for increased dispersibility. More desirably, the single-ply dispersible wet wipes may have a pass through percentage value of at least about 95 percent.
