  • Wipes including microencapsulated delivery vehicles and phase change materials
    Patent number: 7914891
    Abstract: Microencapsulated delivery vehicles comprising an active agent are disclosed. In one embodiment, the microencapsulated delivery vehicles are heat delivery vehicles capable of generating heat upon activation. The microencapsulated heat delivery vehicles may be introduced into wet wipes such that, upon activation, the wet wipe solution is warmed resulting in a warm sensation on a user's skin. Any number of other active ingredients, such as cooling agents and biocides, can also be incorporated into a microencapsulated delivery vehicle.

  • Multilayer approach to producing homofilament crimp spunbond
    Patent number: 7025914
    Abstract: A multilayer laminate is produced with in-line fabric deposition. One layer of the multilayer laminate has stable, heat-set, helically crimped fibers which are uncompacted and therefore retain their loft.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: April 11, 2006
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.
    Inventors: Jeffrey David Shelley, Kurtis L. Brown
  • In-line heat treatment of homofilament crimp fibers
    Patent number: 6632386
    Abstract: Stable, heat-set, helically crimped fibers are economically produced with in-line fabric deposition and heat setting and are uncompacted to retain their loft.

  • Helically crimped, shaped, single polymer fibers and articles made therefrom
    Publication number: 20030104748
    Abstract: There is provided a nonwoven fabric for use in personal care absorbent articles where the fabric is made from single polymer, helically crimped fibers. Such a fabric provides economical production since it uses only one polymer. These fabrics have superior void volume and resilience and are useful in a number of applications, including as outercovers, liners, surge layers and even as an absorbent core.

  • Shaped capillary production of homofilament crimp fibers
    Publication number: 20020098762
    Abstract: Robust homofilament fibers are meltspun from specially shaped capillaries to induce differential shear to induce crimping. Crimping may further be aided by directed quenching and drawing of the fibers.
