Description

Facing material and personal care product and sanitary towel containing same

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a facing material for personal care products and to a personal care product comprising the facing material.

Background

Personal care products, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, baby diapers, adult diapers, feminine menstrual pants, are generally composed of multiple layers having different properties and effects. For example, sanitary napkins typically include: a fluid permeable facing layer, a fluid directing layer, an absorbent layer, and a fluid impermeable substrate layer. The facing layer is typically made of a film or nonwoven material that contacts the user's skin to keep the wearer dry and comfortable by separating the skin from the underlying moist layer. Substrates containing natural fibers such as cotton, pulp or viscose have not previously been generally used as topsheets in personal care absorbent articles because of their wet feel generally when placed against the skin of the wearer.

In recent years, with the increasing living conditions, there has been an increasing quest for unsophisticated nature, and therefore 100% pure cotton hydroentangled substrates have been sought after in the market as topsheets for feminine care napkins. More and more producers are pushing products with pure cotton as the facing material, but these products do not meet the full needs of consumers in terms of performance.

Due to the uniform cotton coverage of the fibers and the hydroentangling process, cotton hydroentangled materials have the following disadvantages: 1) the cost is high: although natural cotton fibers are healthy and have low wearer irritation, the conversion cost is high and the efficiency is low due to the purchasing and traditional process limitation of the cotton fibers, so that the material cost is quite expensive; and 2) high humidity: due to the water-absorbent nature of cotton fibers, cotton facing materials can become very wet when wetted by the consumer during use.

Natural fiber substrates have higher absorbency in grams per gram (g/g) and higher cost than nonwoven or thermoplastic films currently used as facings. In view of consumer demand, manufacturers continue to desire the ability to use natural fiber materials as a facing layer in personal care absorbent articles and to increase protection and comfort while reducing product cost.

CN1164250C discloses a personal hygiene pad comprising a cover sheet, an absorbent core and a reinforced absorbent gauze located in the central part of the absorbent core, wherein the cover sheet may comprise a hydroentangled and hydroentangled spunlace material, preferably a homogeneous mixture of 70% rayon fibers and 30% PET polyester fibers, cotton fibers may be used instead of the rayon fibers, and the ratio of rayon fibers or cotton fibers to PET may be in the range of 10:0 to 0: 10. It does not solve the problems of high cost, high humidity and bad touch well in terms of its best embodiment, i.e., a uniform mixture of 70% rayon and 30% PET polyester.

There is a cotton-containing nonwoven fabric in the prior art which is prepared by fixing cotton fibers to a ready-made nonwoven fabric by a spunlace process, as disclosed in CN 103352323A. Fig. 8 is an electron micrograph of a cross-section of such a material formed by hydroentangling cotton directly onto chemical fiber cloth. Since this product uses a commercially available nonwoven fabric product as a base layer, although a cotton surface can be obtained by hydroentanglement, softness and touch of the whole are still poor.

CN106906569A discloses a preparation method of a natural fiber and chemical fiber multilayer carded composite non-woven fabric substrate, which comprises the following steps: a multi-layer carding process in which the outermost layer contains not less than 50% of natural fibers and the remaining layers are chemical fibers; a pre-welding step of pre-welding each layer of the chemical fiber web; a spunlace cloth forming procedure, wherein each layer of fiber net is entangled together to form a base cloth by adopting a spunlace process; and a drying and welding process, wherein the base cloth is dried and then is subjected to hot welding again. The preparation method comprises two thermal welding treatment steps, so that the chemical fiber web needs to adopt materials which are favorable for thermal welding treatment, namely one or a mixture of more of PP fibers, ES fibers, PE-coated PP fibers and PE-coated PET fibers, and most of high polymer fibers in the chemical fiber layer are thermally welded together, so that the obtained composite non-woven fabric base material has a natural fiber surface, but the whole softness and the touch feeling are not ideal.

CN107938162A discloses a double-layer spunlace nonwoven fabric for sanitary towels, wherein the fabric layer adopts a double-layer combination mode, and adopts a two-layer structure, namely, an upper layer is made of all-cotton fibers, and a lower layer is made of a mixed fiber structure through a spunlace process. The fabric layer specifically comprises the following three forming modes: 1) the upper layer is formed by 100 percent of all-cotton fiber, and the lower layer is formed by mixing and carding 50 percent of viscose fiber and 50 percent of lyocell fiber; 2) the upper layer is made of 100% of all-cotton fibers, and the lower layer is made of 50% of viscose fibers and 50% of polyester fibers through mixing and carding; and 3) the upper layer is made of 100% of all-cotton fibers, and the lower layer is made of 50% of lyocell fibers and 50% of polyester fibers through mixed carding.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a low cost facing material that is both soft and dry.

2. the percentage values in the table are in weight percent.

Fig. 2 is an electron micrograph of a cross section of a surface layer material prepared in example 1 of the present invention, in which the surface layer is marked as "21", the bottom layer is marked as "22", a single cotton fiber is marked as "211", and a single PET fiber is marked as "221"; the bonding layer in between the two layers is labeled "21 & 22". Fig. 3 is an electron microscope photograph of the surface layer of the facing material prepared in example 1 of the present invention, wherein the surface layer is marked as "31" and the single cotton fiber is marked as "311". Fig. 4 is an electron microscope photograph of the bottom surface of the facing material prepared in example 1 of the present invention, in which the bottom layer is labeled "42" and the single PET fiber is labeled "421". As can be seen from fig. 2 to 4, the relatively irregular waist-round shape in the figure is cotton fiber, and the relatively regular round-thread shape is PET fiber.

Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of a facing material made according to an embodiment of the present invention, drawn according to the situation of fig. 2, in which the surface layer is labeled "51", the bottom layer is labeled "52", the single cotton fiber is labeled "511", and the single PET fiber is labeled "521"; the bonding layer between the two layers is denoted by "51 & 52". Wherein the thickness of the bonding layer accounts for 75-80% of the thickness of the surface layer material.

From the fact that no PET fibers were found on the surface layer surface of fig. 3 and no cotton fibers were found on the bottom surface of fig. 4, it can be shown that the present invention precisely controls the conditions of the hydroentangling process so that the fibers in both layers do not penetrate the thickness of the entire face layer material, but only form a mutual entangled binding layer in the middle of both layers. The thickness of the tie layer may be from 20% to 99%, preferably from 30% to 95%, more preferably from 50% to 90% of the thickness of the facing material. In examples 1-3 of the present invention, the thickness of the bonding layer was made to be about 75% to 80% of the thickness of the facing layer material by controlling the conditions of the spunlace process. Can realize the effective combination between two-layer like this, difficult emergence is peeled off, can guarantee again that surface course material's surface has cotton sense of touch, and whole material soft covering or awning on a car, boat, etc. is loose, also can not feel vexed wet after being soaked.

FIG. 6 is an electron micrograph of a cross-section of the material made in comparative example 4, wherein the individual cotton fibers are labeled "611" and the individual PET fibers are labeled "621". Fig. 7 is an electron micrograph of the surface of the material prepared in comparative example 4, in which the individual cotton fibers are labeled "711" and the individual PET fibers are labeled "721". In comparative example 4, 55 wt% of cotton fiber and 45 wt% of PET fiber were uniformly mixed, and the same spunlace process as in example 1 was used to form a facing material having the same grammage as in example 1. As can be seen by comparing fig. 6 and 7 with fig. 2 to 4, the cotton fiber and the PET fiber of comparative example 4 are in a uniformly mixed state, and there is no surface of only the cotton fiber nor the PET fiber; whereas the cotton fibers and PET fibers of example 1 were entangled only in the middle region, and the two surfaces were pure cotton fibers and pure PET fibers, respectively.

By comparing the performance parameters of example 1 in table 1 and comparative examples 1-4 in table 2 as parallel comparative experiments, it can be seen that:

1. in comparison of absorption rates, the facing layer materials of the examples absorb more rapidly than most of the comparative examples, more facilitating rapid liquid absorption and downward penetration;

2. in the case of the rewet comparison, the facing material of example 1 had a lower amount of rewet and was drier than the control and comparative examples 1-3 and 5 (comparative example 4, which was a single layer blend, was not skin friendly and natural, although the rewet was low);

3. in comparison of wicking height, the example product wicks higher, indicating better diffusivity and better liquid conduction;

4. in the MD strength performance comparison, the example products had higher strength than the control;

5. the MD elongation of the surface layer material of the utility model is lower than that of the comparative example, which shows that the material of the utility model is not easy to deform;

6. in the MD and CD softness comparisons, the example test results were lower in value, indicating that the inventive facing material was softer.
