MULTI-LAYERED ABSORBENT MATERIAL - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18278090 titled 'MULTI-LAYERED ABSORBENT MATERIAL
The absorbent material described in this patent application consists of an intake layer and an absorbent layer, with specific characteristics such as a saturation capacity greater than 125 grams, a second intake time of less than 50 seconds, and a wet thickness of less than 17 mm according to the Modified Fluid Intake Under Pressure Test.
- The integrated material includes an interface between the intake layer and the absorbent layer, with fibers of both layers mixed together.
- The absorbent material is designed to efficiently absorb liquids with high capacity and fast intake times.
Potential Applications: - Hygiene products such as diapers and sanitary napkins - Medical applications for wound dressings or incontinence products
Problems Solved: - Improving the efficiency and performance of absorbent materials - Enhancing the user experience with products that require high absorbency
Benefits: - Increased absorption capacity - Faster intake times for improved performance - Reduced wet thickness for enhanced comfort
Commercial Applications: - Manufacturers of hygiene and medical products can benefit from incorporating this innovative absorbent material into their products, providing better performance and user experience.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the interface between the intake layer and the absorbent layer contribute to the overall performance of the material? 2. What specific industries or products could benefit the most from this advanced absorbent material?
Original Abstract Submitted
Absorbent materials described herein can include an intake layer and an absorbent layer. The absorbent material can include a saturation capacity greater than 125 grams, and a second intake time of less than 50 seconds and a wet thickness of less than 17 mm according to the Modified Fluid Intake Under Pressure Test as described herein. In some aspects, the intake layer and the absorbent layer can provide an integrated material including an interface between the intake layer and the absorbent layer. The interface can include at least some fibers of the intake layer mixed with at least some fibers of the absorbent layer.
