Abstract
Description
- This application claims priority to and benefit of provisional filed patent application Nos. 62/048047 and 62/048066 filed on Sep. 9, 2014 and provisional patent application No. 62/171129 filed on Jun. 4, 2015.
- Adhesives are often used to bond substrates together. In the area of industrial adhesives, hot melt adhesives are commonly used to bond together a wide variety of articles including disposable absorbent articles comprising non-woven substrates e.g. diapers, training paints, surgical garments, swim wear, absorbent underpants, adult incontinence products, sanitary napkins and medical dressings (e.g. wound care products).
- There can be multiple hot melt adhesives used in the manufacture of a disposable absorbent article. For example, in the manufacture of a disposable diaper, hot melt adhesives are used for construction (e.g. bonding the backsheet to the nonwoven and optionally the absorbent pad), elastic attachment (e.g. bonding the elastic material to the backsheet in for example the leg or waist area), and for the core stabilization (e.g. applying a hot melt adhesive to the absorbent core to increase the strength of the core).
- Hot melt adhesives can also be used to form elastic composites that are useful in disposable articles. Currently, elastic composites are often formed in a 5-layer configuration including the following layers: nonwoven, hot melt adhesive, elastic material, hot melt adhesive, nonwoven. The hot melt adhesive bonds the non-adhesive elastic to the nonwoven to form a composite.
- Alternately, a hot melt adhesive with elastic properties can replace both the elastic material and the adhesive layers to form a simplified 3-layer elastic composite that can impart stretch to various portions of the disposable article.

The low viscosity further makes it possible to apply the hot melt adhesive within the disposable article manufacturing line.
- The elastic composite can include a first substrate and a hot melt adhesive composition. The hot melt adhesive composition imparts elasticity to the first substrate.

The nonwoven can be formed by a number of different methods, including e.g. airlaid, wetlaid, spunbound or meltblown. The fibers can be carded (e.g. run through a comb) so that they are oriented in a particular direction.

- Test procedures used in the examples and throughout the specification, unless stated otherwise, include the following.
- Viscosity is determined in accordance with ASTM D-3236 entitled, “Standard Test Method for Apparent viscosity of Adhesives and Coating Materials,” (Oct. 31, 1988), using a Brookfield Thermoset viscometer Model RVDV 2 and a number 27 spindle. The results are reported in centipoise (cps).
- The hot melt adhesive is tested (in the molten state) to determine Molten Gardner Color by comparing the color of the sample against the Gardner Color Standards as set forth in ASTM D-1544. The comparison is made using a Gardner Delta Comparator equipped with an Illuminator available from Pacific Scientific (Bethesda, Md.).
- Test laminations were prepared by continuous slot coating the elastic hot melt adhesive composition between two nonwoven* substrates at an application temperature of 177° C. (350° F.), a nip pressure of 10.5 Newtons/centimeter (N/cms) (6 pounds per linear inch (PLI)), and a run speed of at least 6.1 meters/min (m/min) (20 feet/min). Laminations were prepared with an adhesive coat weight of 100 grams per square meter (gsm) and the width of the adhesive was at least 7.6 cms (3 inches). A sufficient amount of laminate was prepared such that at least 1.5 m (60 inches) of representative lamination was collected for testing. *The nonwoven used is carded, hydroentangled and comprises 50/50 (PET/PP). It has a basis weight of 29 g/m2, a cross direction tensile strength of 93 grams/cm2 (600 grams/in2), a CD elongation at break=217% WSP Method 110.4, and an elongation ratio (CD/MD)=4.3.
- Test laminates were prepared by coating adhesive between two substrates according to the Test Lamination Preparation method above. Peel force is determined using ASTM D1876-01 entitled; “Test Method for Determining Peel Resistance of Adhesive (T-Peel Test Method),” with the exception that the test is run at a rate of 30.5 cms per minute (12 inches per minute), instead of 25.4 cms per minute (10 in per minute), over a period of 10 seconds, and 7 replicates are run instead of the 10 specified in ASTM D1876. The samples are run on on INSTRON type-test instrument. The test samples are 2.54 cms (1 inch) in width and at least 10.16 cms (4 inches) in length. The average peel force over 10 seconds of peeling is recorded, and the results are reported in grams. The initial peel force is measured at least 24 hours after the laminate is prepared.
- Test laminates were prepared by coating hot melt adhesive between two substrates according to the Test Lamination Preparation method above. Test samples are prepared by cutting the laminates in cross-web direction, with 1 inch in width and at least 3 inches in length. The test is conducted at least 24 hours after the non-woven laminate is prepared.
- The strips prepared are extended to a certain strain (e.g. 50%, 100%, 150% or 200%) and then retracted to their original dimension. Subsequently the specimen goes through a second extension-retraction cycle with the same deformation. The cross head speed is set to 50.8 cms per minute (20 inches per minute). There is no holding time between extension and retraction. The samples are run on an INSTRON type-test instrument with at least 3 replicates. The permanent set after each cycle is determined by the tensile strain on the retraction curve when the tensile stress reduces to 5 gram force. The peak loadlstress at maximum deformation, and percent energy loss between each cycles are also recorded.
- Rheological Creep and Recovery was run on a Texas Instruments AR-G2 rheometer using parallel plate geometry with a 8 mm plate. The test was run isothermally at 38° C. with a gap of 300 um.
- Once equilibrated at 38° C., a pressure of 26,800 Pa was applied. The sample was held at this pressure for 20 minutes (creep portion of test). The pressure was then released to 0 Pa for 20 minutes (recovery portion of test).
- The strain was measured. Values at specified intervals are reported in the table.
