The application is respectively at application of submitting in December in 1996 on June 27th, 3 days 1 and on August 8th, 1,997 08/766386,08/884069 and 08/908852 continuous part application.Application 08/884069 is the continuous application of the application 08/345159 (now being United States Patent (USP) 5463588) of submission on November 28th, 1994.

The present invention relates to have the band absorbent device of (comprising elastic leg cuff), as diaper, training pants, adult-incontinence articles, sanitary towel, undies etc.More particularly, the present invention relates on band or band and top flat, be distributed with the absorbent device of skin care compositions and methods.By the motion and/or the body heat of normal contact and/or wearer, said composition can be transferred on the skin of wearer.Skin care compositions and methods disclosed by the invention is selected to keep and/or to improve in the use in case the skin health of wearer when shifting; as protective layer of skin is provided or treats benefit; thereby make minimum red stain or the skin irritation of not producing of frictional force between the skin of wearer of band and its contact, improve BM cleaning action on the skin or improve the barrier propterty of band.

Absorbent device such as disposable diaper and incontinence are absorptions or hold bodily exudate with the major function of medicated underpants or underwear.Therefore, the purpose of these class articles for use is medicated clothing or other articles for use that prevent that bodily exudate from making dirty, getting wet or pollution contacts with wearer, as bedding.When body exudates when the thigh of articles for use and wearer or the gap between the waist leak on the adjacent medicated clothing, this series products can not play its most common effect, reason is that body exudates can not be absorbed by articles for use immediately, absorbent device can not keep very next to the shin with wearer, and the result has produced the slit makes effluent leak out this articles for use.For example, urine is tending towards being deposited on the top flat to shove, and urine is moved to the slit between articles for use and the wearer as a result, and urine contacts then with medicated clothing or other article and is absorbed there.In addition, be difficult for by the loose Excreta that absorbent device absorbs often " float " and the surface of Body contact enter slit between articles for use and wearer thigh or the waist then.

Disposable diaper now comprises top flat, egative film, absorbent cores and one or more bands that are positioned and contact with wearer thigh and/or waist, is generally the elasticity band.These elasticity band proofs can prevent usually effectively from holding fluidic diaper wicking and overflowing to the medicated clothing that touches with the diaper side edge, this is because the elasticity band provides a barrier layer between diaper edge and the clothes that is in contact with it, in addition, usually shank or the waist at wearer provides the liner effect on every side, thereby keep the sealing of shank and waist, make the slit minimum.Yet, because concentrating on a narrow and small zone, the power that elastomeric element produces cause local pressure excessive, these elasticity bands more tend to make the skin of wearer to produce indenture and vestige.Because skin is easy to damage even to the slight pressure or the sensitivity of rubbing action, these skin effects are for the product especially severe of baby and the old adult's wearing of incontinence.Because the skin that is caused by this series products blocks, these skin effects further add certificate.Diaper may cause the excessive hydration of skin to the obstruction that skin produces.Therefore, excessively the skin of hydration is more vulnerable to because proper motion and the damage that causes with friction that elastic cuffs strap band produces.Usually known, excessively the skin of hydration is easier to cause cutaneous disorder, comprises diaper rash, erythema, heat rash, scratch, pressure speckle and the loss of skin protection layer.The skin of abrasive excessive hydration has reduced protective, thereby further causes the increase of diaper rash.21 C.F.R 333.503 diaper rash is defined as " cause the inflammation skin condition at diaper position (perineum, buttocks, lower abdomen and interior strand) by following one or more factors: moisture content, obstruction, stimulation, with urine and/or fecal matter or both Continuous Contact or machinery or chemical stimulation ".In order to solve the problem of the cutaneous disorder relevant with other absorbent device with dressing diaper, wearer is before using absorbent device, and nursing staff or wearer use skin care and/or treatment product usually at buttocks, genitals, anus or other position.This method often comprises that caregiver is applied to the skin care product on the skin that is coated onto wearer on hand then.For eliminate this waste, easily make dirty, the time-consuming and step easily forgotten, attempt preparation contains skin-care substances on the articles for use top flat absorbent device.

Being used for diaper products is mineral oil with the material of giving soft protective layer.Mineral oil (being also referred to as Albolene) is the mixture of various liquid hydrocarbons that distills the petroleum distillate of high boiling point (that is, 300 ℃-390 ℃).Mineral oil room temperature for example 20 ℃-25 ℃ be liquid, when being administered on the diaper, have relative fluidity and mobility.Because mineral oil is fluid and movably in room temperature,, enter diaper inside but move so be difficult for remaining positioned on the diaper surface.Therefore, need on diaper, use the mineral oil of higher amount so that desired treatment that obtains or protective layer effect to be provided.This not only makes the cost up of the diaper products that these are treated, and produces other illeffects, comprises the absorbability that reduces lower floor's absorbent cores.

Even do not increase the amount of mineral oil,, coating mineral oil has other harmful effect in case being easy to animal migration.For example, the mineral oil that applies is transferred to the packaging material of treated diaper products or enters and pass through this packaging material.This just needs the protection type packaging film to make dirty or seepage from diaper products to be avoided mineral oil.

People's such as Duncan United States Patent (USP) 3 489 148 has been described a kind of baby diaper that comprises hydrophobicity and oleophobic property top flat, and wherein a part of top flat scribbles the discontinuous film of oil-containing material.The major defect of the disclosed diaper of this article is hydrophobicity and oleophobic property top flat in that to promote urine to transfer to aspect lower floor's absorbent cores slower.

Except the migration problem that is put in fluid composition on the top flat to be run into, prior art do not recognize and uses the caused skin nursing harm of band, thereby do not recognize that the mode of handling band makes the skin care compositions and methods that distributes it on remain on the band and transfers to effective dose on the skin of user with the raising skin care benefits yet.Prior art does not recognize that the top flat of individual processing articles for use may not necessarily transfer to compositions all main region of wearer skin yet.

Therefore, the absorbent device that need provide a kind of and have band, be distributed with skin care compositions and methods on band is to improve particularly in use the skin care benefits with the contacted skin area of wearer.This skin care compositions must be able to be transferred on the skin of user so that these skin benefits to be provided, and can't suppress the function of band in these products.

Therefore, need provide the diaper products or other absorbent device that have one or more bands, be distributed with skin care compositions on band, these class articles for use (1) have ideal treatment or overcoat benefit; And/or (2) do not need a large amount of relatively skin care compositionss of liquid (as mineral oil) that at room temperature are; And/or (3) can not produce adverse influence to the diaper products hygroscopicity; And/or (4) need not special packing or packaging protective material.

Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of diaper or absorbent device with one or more bands, on band, be distributed with skin care compositions, wherein at least a portion compositions is transferred on the skin of wearer to provide desirable skin protection benefit (comprise and reduce skin irritation and red stain), treatment benefit (to comprise and reduce erythema and/or diaper rash and/or reduce the caking property of BM to skin, thereby improve the easiness of BM cleaning.Band held/safeguard function when another object of the present invention was improvement use hydrophobicity skin care compositions.

Use the present invention can reach these and other objects, read after hereinafter open, it is clearer that these purposes will become.

The present invention relates to a kind of absorbent device such as disposable diaper that has one or more bands, be distributed with (scribble or transportable) skin care compositions in the surface of band.Importantly, skin care compositions used herein is easy to transfer on the skin of wearer by common contact, wearer motion and/or body heat.In case transfer on the skin, skin care compositions just can provide ideal treatment and/or overcoat benefit, produces the caking property of red stain, erythema, diaper rash, skin irritation and/or reduction BM and wearer skin hardly, thereby makes BM be easy to clean.If use the hydrophobicity skin care compositions, described herein skin care compositions can improve holding/barrier propterty of band, thereby improves its leakage barrier.Therefore this hydrophobicity skin care compositions can have motility because the another kind of method that obtains ideal holding/barrier propterty is provided when using non-woven material design band, cause material cost to reduce.

The term of this paper " band " comprises all or some combination in lower limb hoop (comprising protective band, liner band, its combination and distortion), horizontal band and pocket/backing plate, side plate and waist hoop (comprising that the waist wing, belt, waist are buckled (waistcap) and whole waist is buckled/belt) and these bands.

Main is that the skin that in a single day skin care compositions as herein described transfers to wearer just can provide protection and/or treatment benefit afterwards, comprises and reduces erythema and/or diaper rash.The effect of this skin care compositions can also make band drop to minimum with scratch between its skin area that is contacted, thereby reduces erythema and/or skin irritation.In addition, the protective layer on the wearer skin can reduce the cohesive of BM and skin, thereby is easy to clean BM.

As discussed below, skin care compositions of the present invention preferably has fusing and distributes, and the result is in their relative fixed of room temperature and be confined on the band, under body temperature, can be transferred on the wearer, and under extreme storage requirement and not exclusively be liquid.In these embodiments, need less skin care compositions to produce the skin protection benefit of wishing.In addition, when the treated product of packing the present invention, need not special overcoat or packaging material.

Figure 11 shows the crown figure in sanitary towel 1120 cross sections with treated band of the present invention, and this sanitary towel is positioned on the wearer medicated underpants 1102 on one's body when using.More detailed description with the sanitary towel that stops band can be authorized Roberts on July 22nd, 1997; Find among the US 5 649 917 of Mancel, this patent is incorporated herein by reference.As shown in figure 11, sanitary towel 1120 comprises the center absorption pad, and this absorption pad comprises top flat 38, egative film 42 and the absorbent cores between top flat 38 and egative film 42; The wing 1104 (industrial being referred to as " flank " or " sheet ") that extends along each vertical limit 1130 of center absorption pad, each wing 1104 has at least one flexible axle, preferably have first flexible axle 1106 and second flexible axle 1108, thereby the elasticity in the medicated underpants 1102 cosily pulls to the wing 1104 near second flexible axle 1108 facing to health in use, and the result obtains a double-walled barrier that holds menstruation; Comprise the treated band that stops band 1162 (barrier), the described band that stops has proximal edges 1164 and far lateral side 1166, and proximal edges 1164 links to each other (in this scheme, preferably linking to each other with the wing 1104) to hold body exudates with sanitary towel.

Skin care compositions 1172 is distributed in and respectively stops on the band 1162 so that described skin protection benefit to be provided.Although skin care compositions can be coated on whole band, its a certain surface or its any part, but shown in scheme in, skin care compositions is applied to one or more belt-like form on the part that stops band 1162 surfaces, preferably near far lateral side 1166.In addition, shown in the scheme, can be with second skin care compositions 1172 ' be distributed on each wing 1104.The 3rd skin care compositions 1172 ' ' be distributed on the top flat 38.Be distributed on the wing that second skin care compositions, the 1172 ' preferred distribution on the wing 1104 contacts with wearer in use that part of, be generally on the wing adjacent that part of with second flexible axle 1108.Second skin care compositions 1172 ' can be distributed between first flexible axle 1106 and second flexible axle 1108 and/or be distributed between the far lateral side 1110 of second flexible axle 1108 and the wing.Being applied to the prescription that stops the skin care compositions on band, top flat and the wing can be inequality, and the different piece in wearer skin can provide different skin protection benefits like this.Shown in scheme in, the skin care compositions on being distributed in top flat, the wing and stopping band has identical prescription.

The B skin care compositions

Although the concrete skin care compositions (this paper is called skin care compositions and methods or compositions) according to conveying of the present invention is a key factor for reaching ideal skin effects, preferred skin care compositions provides the non-occlusion function (as barrier layer liquid-tight relatively but saturating steam) of protection to avoid the excessive hydration of skin or to be exposed in the contained material of bodily exudate.This compositions should also provide and makes the minimum function of friction to reduce the skin irritation of band and wearer skin contact area; Or contain the reagent of direct or indirect transmission skin protection benefit.For example, indirect benefit comprises improving and removes skin stimuli such as feces or urine.Said composition can various forms, includes, but not limited to emulsion, washing liquid (lotion), frost, ointment, ointment, powder, suspension, capsule, gel etc.

Term used herein " skin care compositions of effective dose " refers to a certain amount of particular composition, when it is coated onto or moves on the surface of (being distributed in) band, friction between the skin that can reduce band effectively and be contacted, when its when band transmits, the barrier layer of protectiveness can be provided and/or realize the skin protection benefit; And/or reduce the cohesive of BM and skin.Except as otherwise noted, in these preferred schemes, the description of the skin care compositions that distributes on the relevant band is applicable to the compositions that is distributed on the top flat.Certainly, the compositions that is distributed in the effective dose on the band depends on used specific skin care compositions to a great extent.But the amount that is distributed in the skin care compositions at least a portion of band surface is preferably from about 0.05mg/ square inch (0.0078mg/ square centimeter) to 80mg/ square inch (12mg/cm ²), 1mg/ inch more preferably ²(0.16mg/cm ²)-Yue 40mg/ inch ²(6mg/cm ²), more preferably about 4mg/ inch ²(0.6mg/cm ²)-Yue 26mg/ square inch (4mg/cm ²), these scopes are illustrative, and those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the character of compositions will determine to distribute amount on it to reach desirable skin benefits, from the angle of disclosure thing, can determine these consumptions by normal experiment.

Although the amount of the skin care compositions that distributes is a key factor, more the most important thing is when using the band of one or more processing, to be delivered to the amount of the compositions on the wearer skin on band.Though be transferred to the aequum that desirable skin benefits is provided on the skin depends on composition therefor on some degree character, the applicant finds to transmit lower amount but still desirable skin benefits can be provided.For preferred compositions, all the more so as those compositionss described in the embodiment.

Thereby another benefit of the present invention is using of control skin care compositions to be transmitted lower but the desired composition of effective dose.This is with usually to use the situation of compositions with hands brokenly opposite, and under described common situation, care-giver/user is normal to use the amount more much bigger than required amount.Manual added excess material is handled fluidic character to absorbent device adverse influence, this be because these materials from cutaneous metastatic on the articles for use.In fact, for some material, as vaseline, in fact manual added amount causes blocking effect, and the result has damaged skin.Benefit of the present invention is to provide a protective barrier to surface moisture, can avoid skin to block (promptly keeping skin permeability) again simultaneously.Therefore, the present invention can be delivered to the compositions of amounts of optimization on the skin, thereby remain to/or improve skin health.

(generally to dress the time) transferred to regard to the amount of the skin care compositions on the wearer on daytime with regard to dressing a treated absorbent device about 3 hours, for as embodiment 1 described preferred skin care compositions, preferably at least about the 0.01mg/ inch ²(0.0016mg/cm ²), more preferably at least about the 0.05mg/ inch ²(0.0078mg/cm ²), more preferably at least about the 0.1mg/ inch ²(0.016mg/cm ²) during dressing in 3 hours, transfer on the skin.Generally, the amount of the compositions transmitted in the phase at 3 hours wearings of treated articles for use is about 0.01mg/ square inch (0.0016mg/cm ²) to about 8mg/ square inch (1.24mg/cm ²), preferably about 0.05mg/ square inch (0.0078mg/cm ²) to about 6mg/ square inch (0.93mg/cm ²), 0.1mg/ square inch (0.016mg/cm more preferably from about ²) to about 5mg/ in2 (0.78mg/cm ²).

People will recognize that, in the used various materials, those think that skin protectant is the used inevitable material of the present invention safely and effectively in the skin care compositions that is delivered to according to the present invention on the skin.This class material comprises that food and medicine management board of the United States Federal (FDA) is about defined I class active substance in the provisional final regulation (21 C.E.R. § 347) of Over-the-Counter human skin care medicine; it mainly comprises: alantoin, gel aluminum hydroxide, smithsonite, cupu oil, polydimethylsiloxane, cod liver oil (mixing), glycerol, Kaolin, vaseline, lanoline, mineral oil, shark liver oil, white vaseline, Talcum, local starch, zinc acetate, zinc carbonate, zinc oxide etc.Other can applicable material be a food and medicine management board of above-mentioned the United States Federal (FDA) about the III class material defined in the provisional final regulation (21 C.F.R. § 347) of Over-the-Counter human skin care medicine, and it mainly comprises: active yeast cell derivative, aldioxa, aluminum acetate, microporous fibre element, vitamin D ₃, colloidal oatmeal powder, cysteine hydrochloride, pantothenylol, Peru balsam oil, albumen hydras, racemic methionine, sodium bicarbonate, vitamin A etc.People will recognize that one or more these optional material can be used in combination with other material described herein.

As mentioned below, though the useful skin care compositions of the present invention needn't preferably have fusing point and distribute, but make at room temperature the said composition relative fixed be confined to the surface (surface) that band contacts with wearer, at least a portion compositions is transferred to wearer under body temperature, and, under extreme storage requirement, still not exclusively be liquid.Preferred said composition is easily transferred on the skin by normal contact, wearer motion and/or body heat.Because the preferred basic fixed of said composition is on band wearer contact surface, so the skin care compositions that only needs to hang down consumption is relatively given desirable skin protection benefit.In addition, when packing articles for use of the present invention, need not special protection (obstruct) or packaging material.

In preferred scheme, skin care compositions of the present invention is that room temperature is solid, is more typically semisolid at 20 ℃." semisolid " refers to that said composition has the rheological characteristic of pseudoplastic behavior or plastic liquid.If do not apply shearing, the outward appearance of said composition is semi-solid, but improves with shear rate, and compositions becomes mobile.Although this is that it also comprises some small amount of liquid components because said composition mainly comprises solid constituent.

Preferably, the zero-shear viscosity of the present composition is about 1.0 * 10 ⁶Centipoise is to about 1.0 * 10 ⁸Centipoise, more preferably 5.0 * 10 ⁶To 5.0 * 10 ⁷Centipoise.Term used herein " zero-shear viscosity " refers to the viscosity that (for example 1.0/ second) is measured with dish and cone viscosimeter under very low shear rate; A kind of suitable instrument is by New Castle, and the TA instrument company of DE buys with CSL 100 models.Those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other component that can use except that high melting point component (as described below) so that comparable mensuration viscosity to be provided because comprise these components this based composition can by with its viscosity to the curve extrapolation of shear rate to measuring in about 20 ℃ zero shear rate.

Preferred compositions at least at room temperature is that semisolid is so that the compositions migration is minimum.In addition, the final fusing point of preferred composition (100% liquid) be higher than may " harshness " storage requirement (greater than 45 ℃) (for example, the car body of the warehouse of Arizona, Florida etc.).Particularly, preferred compositions has following fusing point distribution:

Characteristic preferable range most preferred range
	% liquid 2-50 3-25 is at room temperature (20 ℃)
% liquid 25-95 30-90 is at body temperature (37 ℃)
	Final fusing point (℃) 〉=38 〉=45

Owing at room temperature be solid or semisolid, thus preferred compositions flow to and transfer to the trend in undesirable absorbent device zone can be very not big.This means only needs less skin care compositions just can reach ideal treatment, protection and/or conditioning benefit.

In order to increase the stationarity of preferred compositions, the viscosity of composition prepared should be high as much as possible, thereby prevent to flow to undesirable zone in the diaper by band.Unfortunately, in some cases, the viscosity height may be transferred on the skin of wearer by composite inhibiting, and is difficult to use and brings processing problems.Therefore, viscosity should reach a balance; The enough height of viscosity so that compositions be fixed on the surface of band, again can be too not high and hinder and transfer on the skin of wearer.The viscosity that compositions is suitable is generally about 1-5000 centipoise, preferred about 5-300 centipoise, more preferably from about the 5-100 centipoise adopts rotary viscosity measuring (a kind of suitable viscometer can be by Melrose Park, and the Lab Line instrument company of IL buys with 4537 models) at 60 ℃.This viscometer uses 2 axles to operate under 60rpm.

C. handle the diaper top layer with lotion composition

When preparation treated band product of the present invention, preferably skin care compositions is applied on the surface of band (i.e. the surface that contacts with wearer).But, because some skin care compositions herein can see through or through some band material transitions described in the invention, also skin care compositions can be applied to the medicated clothing face of band, like this at the skin care compositions of health face distribution effective dose.In fact, in some cases, though only be applied to a surface, this may be a preferable methods with the benefit of the band of fully being handled (two sides processing).

The coating process that can use any distribution to have the lubriation material of fusion or liquid consistency is applied to skin care compositions on the band.Suitable coating process comprises: coating (for example intaglio plate or narrow slit coating), spraying, printing (for example hectographic printing), extrude or the combination of these coating processes, or other coating process, for example skin care compositions is sprayed on the surface such as felt wrapped roll of rotation, said composition is transferred on the surface of diaper band again through contact then.If need, skin care compositions can be applied to the both sides of band.

The mode that applies skin care compositions to band should be as the criterion by the skin care compositions supersaturation with band.If band is handled with excessive skin care compositions, migration of skin care composition may appear so to the undesirable position of articles for use, for example, enter the inside of articles for use, will produce negative interaction to the absorbability of following absorbent cores like this.In addition, the benefit for the skin care compositions that obtains treatment and/or protective also need not to make band saturated.

The minimum dosage that is applied to the skin care compositions on the band is for reducing erythema, diaper rash, erythema, chafing or other harmful dermopathic least effective dose (LED) (compositions also reduces BM and adheres on the wearer skin).The effective dose of skin care compositions depends on used specific skin care compositions to a great extent.Because the lubricant basic fixed on the surface of band, therefore, for giving desirable skin care benefits, only needs a spot of skin care compositions.The compositions of described relatively small amount is enough to give the treatment of band with described hope and/or the benefit of the skin care compositions of protective.

One or two surface that skin care compositions evenly can be applied to band go up or part surface on.Preferably, wait with certain pattern form such as strip, square shape, point or helical form and apply skin care compositions.The band section aligned that will contact with wearer in preferred skin care compositions and the use.Most preferably, described in embodiment hereinafter, skin care compositions is coated the locus of discontinuity of band with strip, as usually the tablet of 1.4 inches wide (diapers laterally, cover the far lateral side of band) and 11.75 inches long (diaper vertical) being positioned over the crotch area of band surface.

In addition, skin care compositions also can be applied on one or two surface of band unevenly." inhomogeneous " refers to, and the consumption of skin care compositions, the pattern of distribution etc. can change on the band surface.Some surface treated of band part skin care compositions that can have more or less amount for example comprises in its surface the surface portion without any skin care compositions.

Can skin care compositions be applied in any step of assembly process on the fabric of a band or a formation band part.For example can before packing, skin care compositions be applied on the band of Manufactured goods.Also can skin care compositions be applied on band or the fabric in addition at skin care compositions with before other material combination becomes final products, or with other combination of components of articles for use before the repacking position or as pretreated raw material.

Normally the lotion composition with molten condition is applied on the band.Because just fusion of skin care compositions apparently higher than room temperature the time, therefore, the form with heating coating is applied to it on band usually.Usually, be in application to before the band, skin care compositions is heated to about 100 ℃ of about 35-, about 90 ℃ of preferred 40-.After the fusion skin care compositions is applied to band, allow its cooling curing, so that on the band surface, form cured coating or thin film.Preferably will apply the cools/solidifies that process is designed to help compositions.

When being applied to skin care compositions of the present invention on the band, preferred narrow slit coating, extrusion coated method, intaglio plate coating, spraying.Fig. 5 has illustrated a kind of preferable methods, and this method comprises, is reequiping operating period, by the narrow slit coating skin care compositions is applied to diaper continuously or discontinuously and stops on the band.With reference to figure 5, conveyer belt 1 moves and gets back to conveyer belt 2 according to the arrow indicated direction on slewing rollers 3 and 4.Conveyer belt 1 is delivering the diaper 5 that does not add skin care liquid and is contacting with narrow slit coating station 6, here use heat, fused (for example 65 ℃) skin care compositions is coated with stopping band spare 7.After leaving narrow slit coating station 6, diaper 5 has become and has had the treated diaper that stops band 8.Transferring to the amount that stops the skin care compositions on the band spare 7 can following method control: (1) is by the speed of the skin care compositions of narrow slit coating station 6 coating fusings; And/or (2) are in the speed of service of narrow slit coating station 6 lower conveyor belts; And/or the contact position of (3) narrow slit coating station.If be necessary, the position of coating station should be that coating stops band spare 7 and top flat 38 parts, makes on band and the top flat and is distributed with skin care compositions.

Fig. 6 explanation was coated with skin care compositions narrow slit of the present invention another program on the touching diaper band before being assembled into final products at band and other raw material.With reference to figure 6, nonwoven band fabric 1 uncoiling (according to arrow 2a indicated direction rotation) and advance to contact narrow slit spraying workshop section 6 from the female roller 2 that stops band sprays the one side of this fabric with hot, fused (for example 65 ℃) skin care compositions in spraying workshop section.After leaving narrow slit spraying workshop section 6, nonwoven barrier fabric 1 has become the treated band net that stops by 3 expressions.Make the treated band fleece 3 that stops walk around guide roller 4 and 8 then, be wound on then (according to the rotation of arrow 10a indicated direction) on female roller 10.Thereby treated fabric web is used on the diaper base and forms the band spare that stops that stops band in the repacking operation.

Skin care compositions on D, top flat and the band

As shown in Figure 7, first kind of skin care compositions can be applied to top flat, simultaneously second kind of skin care compositions be applied on one or more bands.Find now on top flat and band, to add simultaneously that skin care compositions is better than independent result of use.Treated top flat and band be in conjunction with making the skin care compositions transmission area bigger, and to remain on the probability of health status bigger for all parts of wearer skin like this.

As mentioned above, the prescription of first and second kinds of skin care compositionss can be identical or different.But find if first and second kinds of skin care compositions differences then can be designed to diaper to have specific skin effect at specific skin region.For example because top flat in use often contacts with the buttocks sheet with genitals, so can with specifically be mixed with provide the prevention and or the treatment diaper rash first kind of skin care compositions be distributed on the top flat.Because band then often contacts with shank with the waist of wearer, reduce to rub and or the benefit of erythema so second kind of skin care compositions specifically can be mixed with to provide.The skin care compositions that the specific part of diaper can have concrete preparation makes the specific zone of skin reach skin-care and treatment and maintenance.In the diaper design, have great motility like this, make manufacturer can provide the product of specific design to satisfy the needs of different in a large number consumers.

The another kind variation of skin care compositions prescription is the functions of components by the said composition that distributes thereon.For example, band can be designed to hold and limit runny BM in urine and the diaper usually.It is desirable to band is hydrophobicity, particularly liquid-impermeable, crosses these materials to prevent flow of liquid.If skin care compositions is a hydrophobicity, can help band to prevent that liquid from passing through band.On the contrary, top flat needs the liquid permeability of height to enter absorbent cores so that top flat is passed in urine and menstruation fast.Being distributed with the hydrophobicity skin care compositions on the top flat can make the effect of top flat descend.Better is distribution hydrophilic skin care compositions on top flat, to keep the function of top flat.Therefore, in some versions, the skin care compositions that it is desirable to the small part top flat is to be made to promote liquid (as urine) to pass through top flat fast by hydrophilic material.Similarly, skin care compositions should have enough wettabilitys to guarantee the liquid top flat of flowing through fast.In addition, also can use the hydrophobicity skin care compositions, need only the liquid handling performance that can fully keep top flat when it is used.For example, compositions anisotropically is used for top flat and can realizes this purpose.The heterogeneity examples of applications is disclosed in the U.S. Patent application 08/908852 (P﹠amp that people such as Roe submitted on August 8th, 1997; G case 5494CR), exercise question is " diaper with top flat of skin lotion processing ", and this patent is incorporated herein by reference.

If wish to obtain hydrophilic compositions, depend on the specific component of using in the compositions, can need or need not the hydrophilic surfactant active to improve wettability.For example, the HLB value of some fixative such as N-coco group-N-methoxy-propyl grape sugar amide is at least about 7 and can be fully moistening under the situation of not adding hydrophilic surfactant.When compositions was applied on the top flat, other HLB value was lower than about 7 fixative such as C ₁₆-C ₁₈Aliphatic alcohol adds the hydrophilic surfactant active with needs, so that improve wettability.Similarly, if wish to obtain hydrophilic compositions, hydrophobic lubricant such as vaseline need add the hydrophilic surfactant active.Be hydrophobicity or fully keep the liquid handling performance of material if wish the wearer contact surface considered, then do not have the problem of wettability by alternate manner (as, non-homogeneous application).

Suitable hydrophilic surfactant preferably can be miscible with other component of skin care compositions, so that form mixture.Because use the disposable absorbent products that is coated with compositions may make skin sensitivity, therefore, it is quite soft and non-irritating that these surfactants are also tackled skin.Usually these hydrophilic surfactants are non-ionic, and they are not only to the skin nonirritant, and can also avoid other structure of treated diaper is produced undesirable effect.For example reduce the tensile strength of laminated paper products, the adhesive power of binding agent etc.

Suitable non-ionic surface active agent is nonmigratory basically after compositions is applied on the top flat, and has usually from about 4-20, preferred about 7～20 HLB value.Become nonmigratoryly, these non-ionic surface active agents will have usually and be higher than in the higher fusion temperature of temperature that stores, transportation, transaction and disposable absorbent article were suffered between the operating period, for example at least about 30 ℃.In this regard, these non-ionic surface active agents preferably will have the fusing point that is similar to the aforementioned fixation agent.
