SUBSTRATES AND LAMINATES FOR ABSORBENT ARTICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520860 titled 'SUBSTRATES AND LAMINATES FOR ABSORBENT ARTICLES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure provides substrates and laminates for absorbent articles and absorbent articles comprising the substrates or laminates. The substrates and laminates may have three-dimensional elements, land areas, and increased permeability regions intermediate at least some of the land areas and at least some of the three-dimensional elements. The increased permeability regions may be positioned adjacent to the three-dimensional elements. The land areas may have a first basis weight and the increased permeability regions may have a second basis weight. The first basis weight may be greater than the second basis weight.

  • Substrates and laminates for absorbent articles with three-dimensional elements and increased permeability regions.
  • Three-dimensional elements, land areas, and increased permeability regions are key features.
  • Land areas have a higher basis weight than the increased permeability regions.

Potential Applications

The technology could be applied in:

  • Diapers
  • Sanitary napkins
  • Incontinence products

Problems Solved

  • Improved absorption in absorbent articles
  • Enhanced comfort for users
  • Better leakage prevention

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in absorbing liquids
  • Enhanced user experience
  • Reduced risk of leaks

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Manufacturing of absorbent articles
  • Medical and healthcare industries
  • Baby care products

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to:

  • Absorbent article substrates
  • Three-dimensional elements in absorbent products

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional absorbent article substrates?

This technology offers increased permeability regions, which may enhance absorption efficiency compared to traditional substrates.

What are the potential environmental impacts of using these substrates in absorbent articles?

The environmental impact of using these substrates in absorbent articles is not addressed in the abstract.
