20160074832 | AMINOPOLYCARBOXYLIC ACIDS USEFUL AS PROCESSING AIDS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF SUPERABSORBENTS - Described is the production of water-absorbing polymeric particles by polymerizing a monomer solution or suspension comprising a) at least one ethylenically unsaturated acid-functional monomer which is optionally at least partly present as salt, b) at least one crosslinker and c) at least one initiator, wherein the process further comprises drying the resulting polymer and also optionally grinding the dried polymer and sieving the ground polymer and also optionally surface-postcrosslinking the dried and possibly ground and sieved polymer, and wherein the polymerization is carried out in the presence of aminopolycarboxylic acids and/or salts thereof, in particular in the presence of ethylenediaminedisuccinic acid and/or a salt thereof | 03-17-2016 |
20160095764 | ADULT DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES AND ARRAYS COMPRISING IMPROVED PRODUCT LENGTHS - In one embodiment, an array of packages may comprise two or more different sizes of disposable absorbent articles. The Array Average Length Difference of at least the first and second absorbent articles in the array is less than about 65 mm and greater than about negative 10 mm. In another embodiment, a disposable absorbent article may have a Product Length is within about +/−40 mm of the Target Rise. | 04-07-2016 |
20160100997 | LENGTH-TO-SIDE AND HIP-TO-WAIST SILHOUETTES OF ADULT DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES AND ARRAYS - In one embodiment, an array of packages may comprise two or more different sizes of disposable absorbent articles, including a first size and a second size that is a larger size than the first size. The Product Length-to-Side Silhouette of a second absorbent article may be equal to or greater than a Product Length-to-Side Silhouette of a first absorbent article. And, an Array Average Product Length-to-Side Silhouette of first and second packages of the array may be from about 1.2 to about 1.6. Further, the second size may have a Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouette that is greater than the Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouette of the first size. | 04-14-2016 |
20220133555 | ABSORBENT STRUCTURE COMPRISING CO-FORMED LAYER - An absorbent structure is disclosed, which may be or form part of an absorbent core of an absorbent article. The structure has a caliper, a fluid-receiving side and a non-receiving side. The non-receiving side occupies a first x-y plane; the receiving side occupies a second x-y plane. The structure has a first zone constituting a first portion of the caliper proximate the non-receiving side, and a second zone constituting a second portion of the caliper proximate the receiving side. Each of the zones includes a co-formed blend of constituents. The blend may include AGM particles, spun filaments and/or cellulose fibers. In examples including AGM particles, particles in the first zone may have an average particle size smaller than that of particles in the second zone. In examples including filaments, filaments in the first zone may have an average filament size smaller than that of the filaments in the second zone. | 05-05-2022 |
