example 1

[0356] The bodyside layer had a basis weight of 500 gsm and comprised 50% 53C superabsorbent, a superabsorbent commercially available from Dow Chemical, and 50% HPF2 mercerized pulp, a material commercially available from Buckeye Corp. The tau value for Dow 53C superabsorbent is 8.5 minutes; the capacity for FAULZ is 33 g / g; and the 0.3 psiMAUL value is 26.2 g / g. like image 3 and 3A As shown, the bodyside layer extends over the area of ​​the 48 layer region and is densified to 0.2 g / cc.

[0357] The outer layer in the area covered by the bodyside layer 48 has a basis weight of 200 gsm and the remaining area has a basis weight of 500 gsm, the total area covering the entire pad-shaped area (area of ​​layer area 50). This material consisted of 25% SXM880 superabsorbent, a superabsorbent available from Stockhausen, and 75% CR-1654 fluff pulp available from Alliance Forest Products, a company located in Coosa Pines, Al. SXM 880 superabsorbent has a tau value of 4 minutes; FAULZ...

Abstract

A distinctive absorbent article includes an absorbent core having multiple absorbent layers, wherein the absorbent layers interact in such a manner which preferentially locates absorbed liquid in an appointed, high saturation wicking layer. The localization of the liquid within this wicking layer increases the potential of this layer to move liquid through capillary action due to the higher saturation level and increased amount of liquid available. In additional aspects, at least one primary layer region can have a non-uniform, selectively zoned basis weight distribution. Particular configurations of the at least one primary layer region can be constructed with a target area of the primary layer region having a basis weight which is less than a basis weight of another non-target portion of the primary layer region.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a layered absorbent structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a layered composite absorbent structure having individual layers constructed and arranged to selectively cooperate to provide desired performance parameters within the composite layered structure. Background of the invention [0002] Performance goals for disposable absorbent articles, such as baby diapers, include no leakage of the article, a dry feel to the wearer, and comfort over the life of the product. Accordingly, absorbent articles typically include absorbent cores that provide liquid handling and other absorbent functions required to meet product performance objectives. The absorbent core of absorbent articles generally comprises wood pulp fibers with superabsorbent material usually distributed within the absorbent core to enhance the absorbent capacity for liquids. The absorbent core is usually made into an hourglass shape,...
