Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional release sheet materials for disposable absorbent articles are noisy and prone to deformation during thermal curing, making them unsuitable for high-speed production and discreet use.

Innovation Solution

A flexible release sheet material composed of a polyolefin film with a thermal cured silicone based release composition, having a basis weight of 1 g/m² to 25 g/m² and at least 50% polyethylene content, which provides effective adhesion release without deformation and noise.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional release sheet materials are used for packaging disposable absorbent articles, then the packaging provides adhesive protection, but the materials produce noise and deformation during thermal curing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadhesive protectionVSAvoidnoise and deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameters by using a polyolefin film with specific properties (basis weight of 1-25 g/m², at least 50% polyethylene content) that can withstand thermal curing temperatures without deforming or producing noise, while still allowing the silicone-based release composition to cure effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite structure by coating a polyolefin film with a thermal cured silicone based release composition, combining the heat resistance and dimensional stability of the polyolefin substrate with the adhesive release properties of the silicone coating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Object-generated harmful factors

If thin release sheet materials are used to reduce noise, then discretion is improved, but heat resistance during thermal curing may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenoise reductionVSAvoidheat resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSTemperature

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the basis weight parameter to a specific range (1-25 g/m²) that is thin enough to reduce noise during use but thick enough to maintain dimensional stability and prevent deformation during thermal curing, combined with using at least 50% polyethylene content to ensure heat resistance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If high-speed production is implemented, then productivity increases, but material deformation during thermal curing becomes more problematic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction speedVSAvoidmaterial stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the material parameters by selecting a polyolefin film with specific basis weight (1-25 g/m²) and composition (at least 50% polyethylene) that maintains dimensional stability during rapid thermal curing in high-speed production, preventing deformation that would compromise manufacturing precision

Inventive Principle:
