Description

  The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles.

  Absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, etc. have improved basic performance due to many years of technical development, and leaks etc. after absorbing excretion such as menstrual blood compared to before. It is becoming less common, and at present, there is a demand for further enhancement of functionality, for example, a feeling of wearing close to underwear.

Further, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses an absorptivity including an effective amount of a lotion coating that is semi-solid or solid at 20 ° C. and partially movable to the wearer's skin on at least a part of the outer surface of the topsheet. The article is listed. Also, the lotion coating comprises (i) 10-95% having a plastic or flowable consistency at 20 ° C., a petroleum-based emollient, a fatty acid ester emollient, an alkyl ethoxylate emollient, and mixtures thereof A substantially water-free emollient comprising one selected from: (ii) 5 to 90% of an immobilizing material that allows the emollient to be immobilized on the outer surface of the topsheet. The immobilizing material has a melting point of at least 35 ° C., preferably at least 40 ° C., and is polyhydroxy fatty acid ester, polyhydroxy fatty acid amide, C ₁₄ -C ₂₂ fatty alcohol, C ₁₂ -C ₂₂ fatty acid, C ₁₂ -C ₂₂ fatty alcohol ethoxylates, and include to those selected from the mixtures thereof.

Japanese National Patent Publication No. 10-509896

  In Patent Document 1, an immobilizing substance having a melting point of 35 ° C. or higher crystallizes at room temperature (25 ° C.) in a lotion coating, and has an action of immobilizing the lotion coating by increasing the viscosity of the lotion coating.

  However, when the lotion coating is immobilized (high viscosity) using an immobilizing substance, there is a problem that the “emollient agent” as an active ingredient is hardly released from the lotion coating. Even if the lotion coating is immobilized (high viscosity), the lotion coating moves to the inside of the absorbent article (such as the voids in the fibers of the top sheet) under high pressure such as body pressure. Is difficult to continue to act on the wearer's skin.

  Therefore, this indication aims at providing the absorptive article which discharge | releases the lotion which protects a wearer's skin continuously to a wearer's skin.

  The present disclosure is an absorbent article comprising a liquid-permeable layer, a liquid-impermeable layer, and an absorbent layer between the liquid-permeable layer and the liquid-impermeable layer, wherein the absorbent article is The gel lotion containing a gelling agent and a lotion in at least a part of the region in contact with the skin of the wearer, the gelling agent contains a styrenic elastomer, and the lotion contains a hydrocarbon, And the said gel lotion discovered the absorbent article characterized by having a compression stress at the time of 50% strain of 1-100 kPa.

  The absorbent article of the present disclosure continuously releases a lotion that protects the wearer's skin into the wearer's skin.

FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an absorbent article 1 according to one of the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an absorbent article 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

The absorbent article of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.
The absorbent article of the present disclosure includes a liquid permeable layer, a liquid impermeable layer, and an absorbent layer between the liquid permeable layer and the liquid impermeable layer.
The absorbent article of the present disclosure has a gel lotion including a gelling agent and a lotion in at least a part of a region in contact with the wearer's skin, that is, a skin contact region.

[Gel lotion]
In the absorbent article of the present disclosure, the gel lotion includes a gelling agent and a lotion.
The gelling agent is a component for holding the lotion and includes a styrene elastomer.

The styrenic elastomer preferably has a hard segment and a soft segment, and the hard segment is preferably a polystyrene block, and the soft segment is preferably a polyolefin block.
The polystyrene block includes not only a block made of styrene homopolymer (ie, polystyrene block) but also a block made of homopolymer of α-methylstyrene (ie, poly α-methylstyrene block), and styrene and α-methyl. And blocks made of copolymers with styrene.

Examples of the polyolefin block include a block made of a homopolymer of polyolefin, such as a polyethylene block, a polypropylene block, a polybutylene block, and a polybutadiene block, and a block made of a copolymer of polyolefin, such as ethylene, propylene, butylene, and butadiene. The block which consists of a copolymer of these is mentioned.
In this specification, butadiene is also handled as an olefin monomer for convenience.

  The soft segment also includes a hydrogenated product of a polybutadiene block and a hydrogenated product of a block composed of butadiene and a copolymer of ethylene, propylene, butylene, butadiene, and the like.

As said styrene-type elastomer, it is preferable to have a hard segment in both ends and to have 1 type or multiple types of soft segment between them.
Specific examples of the styrene-based elastomer include the following.
(I) Polystyrene-block-poly (ethylene-co-propylene)
(Hereafter, it may be abbreviated as “SEP”.)
(Ii) Polystyrene-block-poly (ethylene-co-propylene) -block-polystyrene (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “SEPS”)
(Iii) Polystyrene-block-poly (ethylene-co-butylene) -block-polystyrene (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “SEBS”)
(Iv) Polystyrene-block-polyethylene-block-poly (ethylene-co-propylene) -block-polystyrene (hereinafter may be abbreviated as “SEEPS”)

The styrenic elastomer preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 5,000 to 500,000, more preferably 10,000 to 400,000, and even more preferably 50,000 to 300,000. If the weight average molecular weight is less than 5,000, the styrenic elastomer tends to be difficult to maintain a gel structure, and if the weight average molecular weight exceeds 500,000, 50% strain of the gel formed is reduced. There is a tendency that the compressive stress increases and the feeling of wear decreases.
In addition, the measuring method of a weight average molecular weight is mentioned later.

  The styrenic elastomer preferably contains 10 to 50% by mass of polystyrene block and 50 to 90% by mass of polyolefin block, more preferably 15 to 40% by mass of polystyrene block and 60 to 85% by mass of polyolefin. And more preferably 18-35% by weight polystyrene block and 65-82% by weight polyolefin block.

  When the amount of the polystyrene block is less than 10% by mass, it tends to be difficult for the polystyrene block to form a micro layer separation structure described later. When the amount of the polystyrene block exceeds 50% by mass, the amount of the polyolefin block that can hold the lotion decreases, and as a result, the amount of the lotion that can be held tends to decrease. In addition, the amount of the micro-layer separation structure of the polystyrene block increases, the gel lotion formed becomes hard, and there is a tendency to be inferior in wearing feeling.

  The reason why the styrenic elastomer produces gel lotion is as follows. The hard segments of the styrenic elastomer aggregate together to form a domain and act as a crosslinking point. On the other hand, a soft segment plays the role of the network which connects those bridge | crosslinking points. As a result, the styrene elastomer functions as an elastic body.

When the styrenic elastomer is mixed with the lotion, particularly hydrocarbons, the soft segment of the styrenic elastomer retains the lotion while the hard segment remains forming a domain. As a result, the mixture (gel lotion) of the styrene elastomer and the lotion functions as an elastic body having a compressive stress lower than that of the styrene elastomer alone.
In addition, the said lotion is only hold | maintained at the loose network of the soft segment of a styrene-type elastomer, and can move to the surface of a gel lotion.

  The lotion contains a hydrocarbon. In the present specification, “hydrocarbon” means a compound composed of carbon and hydrogen. Examples of the hydrocarbon include chain hydrocarbons such as paraffinic hydrocarbons (not including double bonds and triple bonds, also called alkanes), olefinic hydrocarbons (including one double bond, alkenes). ), Acetylene hydrocarbons (including one triple bond, also referred to as alkyne), and hydrocarbons including two or more bonds selected from the group consisting of double bonds and triple bonds, and cyclic carbonization Hydrogen, for example, aromatic hydrocarbon and alicyclic hydrocarbon can be mentioned.

The hydrocarbon is preferably a chain hydrocarbon and an alicyclic hydrocarbon, more preferably a chain hydrocarbon, a paraffinic hydrocarbon, an olefinic hydrocarbon, and two double bonds. More preferred are hydrocarbons (not including triple bonds), and more preferred are paraffinic hydrocarbons.
The chain hydrocarbon includes a straight chain hydrocarbon and a branched chain hydrocarbon.

The hydrocarbon preferably has a kinematic viscosity at 40 ° C. of 0.01 to 80 mm ² / s, preferably has a water content of 0.01 to 4.0% by weight, and less than 1,000 It preferably has a weight average molecular weight. This is because the hydrocarbon can act as a body fluid lubricity imparting agent described later.

  In the gel lotion of the present disclosure, a certain amount of lotion (eg, hydrocarbon) is bleed on the surface of the gel lotion. When the lotion that bleeds on the surface moves to the wearer's skin or slips into the absorbent body together with body fluid such as menstrual blood and urine, the lotion newly bleeds from the gel lotion. Thus, the gel lotion can release the lotion continuously.

  The lotion preferably contains 50 to 100 mass%, more preferably 60 to 100 mass%, and still more preferably 70 to 100 mass% of the hydrocarbon. This is from the viewpoint of gel formation.

The said gel lotion can further contain the component known as a lotion in this technical field other than the above-mentioned hydrocarbon as said lotion.
In addition to the above-described hydrocarbons, the gel lotion has an IOB of more than 0.00 and not more than 0.60, a kinematic viscosity of 0.01 to 80 mm ² / s at 40 ° C., and 0.01 to 4 It is preferable to further contain a fluid lubricity-imparting agent having a water retention of 0.0% by mass and a weight average molecular weight of less than 1,000.

The body fluid lubricity-imparting agent is a component similar to the “blood modifying agent” described in International Publication No. 2012/133724, which is an application of the present applicant, and also International Publication No. 2013/129236 pamphlet. It is the same component as the “blood slipperiness imparting agent” described in 1.
When the above-mentioned gel lotion contains the above-mentioned body fluid lubricity-imparting agent, the body fluid lubricity-imparting agent is continuously released from the gel lotion, and the body fluid that reaches the liquid-permeable layer over a long period of time is absorbed inside the absorber. Can slide down quickly.

Table 1 below summarizes the organic and inorganic values of the major groups by Mr. Fujita.

  The kinematic viscosity is measured according to JIS K 2283: 2000 “5. Kinematic Viscosity Test Method” using a Canon Fenceke reverse flow viscometer at a test temperature of 40 ° C.

In the present specification, the “water retention” means the ratio of water retained by a substance, and is measured as follows.
(1) Place a test tube, a rubber plug, a substance to be measured, and deionized water in a constant temperature room at 40 ° C. for 24 hours.
(2) In the temperature-controlled room, put 5.0 g of the substance to be measured and 5.0 g of deionized water into a 20 mL test tube.

(5) The petri dish is heated in an oven at 105 ° C. for 3 hours to evaporate water, and the whole petri dish is measured for mass: W ₁ (g).
(6) The water retention rate is calculated according to the following formula.
Water retention (mass%) = 100 × [W ₀ (g) −W ₁ (g)] / 3.0 (g)
The measurement is carried out three times and the average value is adopted.

  The action of the body fluid lubricity imparting agent is as described in WO 2012/133724 pamphlet, WO 2013/129236 pamphlet, etc., but the gel lotion contains the body fluid lubricity imparting agent as a lotion. In some cases, the following effects can be further obtained.

  The gel lotion continuously releases the body fluid slipperiness-imparting agent to the skin contact area of the absorbent article. For example, in order to release the body fluid slipperiness agent, the body fluid slipperiness agent and the body fluid slide down inside the absorbent product. Even if it does, new body fluid slipperiness | lubricity imparting agent will be supplied to the surface of a liquid-permeable layer from a gel lotion, and body fluid will continue to slide down inside an absorbent article. As a result, even when the absorbent article continues to be used for a long time, the liquid-permeable layer is hardly sticky, and the liquid-permeable layer is kept in a smooth state.

  The lotion preferably contains 0 to 50% by mass, more preferably 0 to 40% by mass, and even more preferably 0 to 30% by mass of the body fluid lubricity imparting agent. This is from the viewpoint of gel formation.

  The gel lotion is preferably 1 to 30 parts by weight and 70 to 99 parts by weight, more preferably 2 to 20 parts by weight and 80 parts based on a total of 100 parts by weight of the gelling agent and lotion. -98 parts by mass, and more preferably 3-15 parts by mass and 85-97 parts by mass. When the ratio of the gelling agent is less than 1 part by mass, the formed gel lotion becomes difficult to act as an elastic body, or may deform beyond the elastic limit of the gel lotion when body pressure is applied. is there. When the ratio of the said gelling agent exceeds 30 mass parts, the elasticity of the gel lotion formed is high and may be inferior to a feeling of wear.

The gel lotion has a compressive stress at 50% strain of 1-100 kPa, preferably a compressive stress at 50% strain of 1-80 kPa, and more preferably a compressive stress at 50% strain of 1.5-60 kPa. .
When the compressive stress at 50% strain is less than 1 kPa, the gel lotion may be deformed beyond the elastic limit when body pressure is applied, and may be destroyed, and when the compressive stress at 50% strain exceeds 100 kPa, The elasticity of the gel lotion is high, and when the body pressure is applied, the gel lotion is not easily deformed, and the wearer may feel uncomfortable.

  Conventional lotion coatings, skin care agents, and the like employ a technique of increasing the viscosity (viscosity) of active ingredients in order to fix them in place. However, when they are made highly viscous, active ingredients (emollients and the like) are trapped inside lotion coatings, skin care agents and the like, making it difficult to exhibit their functions. In addition, conventional lotion coatings, skin care agents, etc. are only viscous bodies, and when body pressure such as wearing pressure is applied, they are not fixed in place and move to the inside of the absorbent article to the wearer's skin. There is a problem that it is difficult to continue to work.

  On the other hand, the gel lotion behaves as an elastic body in a range where body pressure or the like is applied. Therefore, even if a high body pressure is applied to the gel lotion, the gel lotion remains elastically deformed and is not pushed in between the fibers of the top sheet. Return to). Accordingly, the lotion contained in the gel lotion can perform its function at a desired position.

In this specification, the compression stress at 50% strain of the gel lotion is measured as follows.

The gel lotion may further contain a lubricant in addition to the gelling agent and the lotion. Examples of the lubricant include silicone oil, silicone resin, alkyl acrylate copolymer, surfactant, and long chain aliphatic ester. When the gel lotion contains an anti-friction agent, friction between the gel lotion and the wearer's skin at the time of wearing is reduced, and an effect of preventing the wearer's skin from being rashed is expected.

The gel lotion preferably has a static friction coefficient of 0.01 to 1.00, more preferably 0.02 to 0.50, and even more preferably 0.03 to 0.03. This is because the wearer's skin irritation is difficult.
In order to achieve the static friction coefficient, the gel lotion preferably contains 0.01 to 20 parts by mass of the anti-friction agent with respect to 100 parts by mass of the gel lotion (100 parts by mass of the gelling agent and the lotion). More preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by mass, and more preferably 0.1 to 7 parts by mass.

The absorbent article 1 shown in FIG. 1, more specifically a sanitary napkin, includes a topsheet 2 as a liquid-permeable layer, a backsheet (not shown) as a liquid-impermeable layer, and a topsheet 2. And the absorber 3 as an absorptive layer between a back sheet | seat (not shown). The absorbent article 1 shown in FIG. 1 also has a side sheet 4 and an embossed portion 5.

  The top sheet 2 includes a gel lotion 6 in the skin contact region, and a plurality of line-shaped gel lotions 6 are applied along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1. In other words, the topsheet 2 includes a plurality of linear gel lotions 6 that are parallel to each other and extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 1.

  FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an absorbent article 1 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the absorbent article 1 shown in FIG. 2, more specifically, a sanitary napkin, the top sheet 2 includes a gel lotion 6 in its skin contact region, and a plurality of dot-like gel lotions 6 are staggered. It is coated in a shape. In other words, the top sheet 2 includes a plurality of dot-like gel lotions 6 arranged in a staggered manner.

  In the absorbent article of the present disclosure, the area to which the gel lotion is applied is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of not impairing the breathability of the absorbent article, preferably 1 of the region in contact with the wearer's skin. It is applied to an area of -50%, more preferably 3-40%, and even more preferably 5-30%.

  Further, in the embodiment in which the gel lotion is applied to the liquid permeable layer, the gel lotion is liquid permeable so long as the liquid permeable layer overlaps with the absorbent layer in the thickness direction of the absorbent article. It is preferably applied to a region of 1 to 50% of the area of the layer, more preferably applied to a region of 3 to 40% of the area of the liquid permeable layer, and More preferably, it is applied to a region of 5 to 30% of the area.

  If the gel lotion is applied to less than 1% of the area of the liquid-permeable layer, the effect of the present disclosure tends to be difficult to exhibit. If the gel lotion is applied to an area exceeding 50% of the area of the liquid permeable layer, the area where the gel lotion is applied does not absorb body fluid, resulting in a narrow area for absorbing body fluid. , The absorbency tends to decrease.

In order to achieve the coating region, the liquid permeable layer has the gel lotion, preferably 1 to 30 g / m ² , in a range overlapping with the absorbent layer and the thickness direction of the absorbent article. More preferably ^{2 to 20} g / m ² , and still more preferably 3 to 10 g / m ² basis weight.
