preparation example Construction

[0008] The components and method of making an antimicrobial nonwoven wet wipe bonded with a nonionic VAE adhesive according to the present invention will now be discussed in detail. Percentages of materials recited herein are by weight unless the context indicates otherwise.

[0009] VAE copolymer

[0010] Unless otherwise stated, the weight percentages of the monomers mentioned herein are based on the total weight of all monomers in the polymerization reaction used to make the VAE copolymer, and the weight percentages of the monomers add up to 100% in each case.

[0011] The VAE copolymers used as adhesives according to the invention comprise polymerized units of vinyl acetate, ethylene, N-methylol functional monomer and (meth)acrylamide, ie acrylamide and / or methacrylamide. Vinyl acetate is typically copolymerized in an amount of at least 65 wt%, or at least 70%, and up to 94.5 wt%, or up to 85%. Ethylene is typically copolymerized in an amount of at least 5 wt%, or at le...

Embodiment

[0043] Measurement of Tg

[0044] The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the copolymer was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a Mettler-Toledo DSC1 dynamic differential scanning calorimeter according to ASTM D3418-82 as the starting temperature at a heating rate of 10 °C per minute . Onset of glass transition was evaluated in the second heating cycle.

[0045] Measurement of Viscosity-Brookfield

[0046] The Brookfield viscosities of the copolymer dispersions and adhesive compositions were measured using a Brookfield Viscometer Model LVD with a #3 spindle at 60 rpm at 25°C unless otherwise stated. The viscosity of polyvinyl alcohol is the Hoeppler viscosity of a 4% by weight aqueous solution measured according to DIN 53015 at 20°C.

[0047] The following vinyl acetate ethylene dispersions copolymerized with NMA and acrylamide were prepared and tested:

Embodiment 2

[0053] The following ingredients were mixed together: 811.5 g of 10% polyvinyl alcohol-co-vinylamine aqueous solution (88:12 vinyl alcohol:vinylamine molar ratio, 4 wt% aqueous solution viscosity 4-6 mPa.s) and 100.0 g deionized water . The pH of the mixture was adjusted to 3.5 using 33.8 g of a 50 wt % aqueous phosphoric acid solution, and then 2.1 g of a 5 wt % aqueous ammonium ferrous sulfate solution was added to the mixture. This mixture was added to a one gallon (3.8 L) stainless steel pressure reactor that had been purged with nitrogen, and 1100 g of vinyl acetate was added with stirring (200 rpm).

[0054] The reactor was purged with ethylene, agitation was increased to 1000 rpm, and 245 g of ethylene was added to the reactor. The temperature was then raised to 32°C and 7.3 g of a 4.75 wt% aqueous sodium erythorbate solution (pH adjusted to 4.5 with 50% phosphoric acid) was added to the reactor. A 1.50 wt% hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution and a 4.75 wt% sodium eryt...

Abstract

An antimicrobial nonwoven wet wipe includes i) a fibrous nonwoven substrate bonded with a cross-linkable VAE dispersion stabilized with one or more cationic protective colloids out of the group of cationic vinyl alcohol -N-vinyl amine copolymers, and ii) absorbed in the nonwoven substrate, an aqueous lotion including one or more cationic disinfectants. No anionic surfactants are present in the antimicrobial nonwoven wet wipe. A method of producing the antimicrobial nonwoven wet wipe includes a) applying a first aqueous composition including a cross linkable VAE dispersion stabilized with one or more cationic protective colloids out of the group of cationic vinyl alcohol-N-vinyl amine copolymers to a nonwoven substrate; b) drying the composition; and c) applying a second aqueous compositionto the product of step b). At least one of the first and second aqueous compositions includes one or more cationic disinfectants.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a nonwoven wet wipe comprising a nonwoven substrate and an aqueous antimicrobial lotion, wherein the nonwoven substrate is bonded with a cationic adhesive. Background technique [0002] Self-crosslinking dispersion binders suitable for the airlaid nonwoven industry are usually stabilized with some amount of anionic surfactant. US 5,109,063 A discloses a method of preparing vinyl acetate ethylene N-methylolacrylamide (NMA) copolymer emulsions for nonwoven adhesive applications. The emulsifying system consists of a salt of alkyleneoxy poly(ethyleneoxy)sulfate. This type of binder is typically used in lotionized wet wipe applications where the lotion is compatible with the anionic nature of the self-crosslinking binder used to provide integrity to the nonwoven . [0003] However, if the lotion contains charged cationic compounds, as is the case with quaternary ammonium sanitizers, commonly referred to as quats, such as ...
