Definitions

  • the invention relates to an absorbent hygiene article for single use, in particular a diaper, sanitary napkin or incontinence pad, with an at least two-layer absorbent body, which has a liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer facing the body during use of the article, and a storage layer provided on the side thereof facing away from the body Contains at least 50 wt .-% of superabsorbent polymer materials.
  • the invention further relates to a method for manufacturing a liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer in the course of the manufacture of a hygiene article of the type mentioned.
  • the high proportion of superabsorbent polymer materials in the storage layer which faces away from the body during use serves for the permanent storage of the absorbed liquid, in that the superabsorbent polymer materials bind aqueous liquid and are thereby converted into a gel-like state. Since the time required for this is relatively long compared to the dispensing time of the liquid during the urination by the carrier of the hygiene article, a liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is provided in a known manner, which is arranged on the side of the storage layer facing the body.
  • this liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is to provide a sufficiently high absorption rate for the gushing impingement of liquid in order to prevent liquid from running in the transverse or longitudinal direction over the hygiene article and getting outside the hygiene article, what would impair its functionality.
  • the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is intended to guide the liquid, which is relatively concentrated, to other areas of the absorbent body in order to remove the liquid present there To be able to use liquid absorption capacity.
  • Intra-crosslinked cellulose fibers which are also referred to as "curled fiber" were preferably used for use in the body-facing distribution layer.
  • a distribution layer consisting of intra-crosslinked cellulose fibers or comprising such fibers to a considerable extent retains a relatively large liquid absorption volume even after wetting and, in contrast to a layer formed from natural non-crosslinked cellulose fibers, does not collapse when wet ("wet collaps").
  • the present invention seeks to improve an absorbent hygiene article of the generic type in that its Liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer without at least a considerable proportion of intra-crosslinked cellulose fibers, at least as good a liquid absorption, distribution and
  • Latch characteristic comprises as' the aforementioned hygiene articles.
  • the extruded layer provides a receiving volume of preferably at least 30 ml, dimensioned in accordance with the degree of foaming, which is preferably greater than 50% and in a particularly preferred manner greater than 100%, even after in particular repeated gushing liquid exposure when using the hygiene article.
  • the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is preferably essentially free of superabsorbent polymer materials, which should be understood to mean that it is preferably less than 10, in particular less than 5% by weight, and particularly preferably less than 1% by weight. of superabsorbent polymer materials.
  • Ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers and halogenated polyolefins can be used.
  • other thermoplastic polymers are also suitable for producing the absorbent structure according to the invention, for example those from the group of styrene polymers.
  • Additives for example 3 to 30 Ge. %, in particular 10 to 20% by weight, can be provided in the form of fibers, preferably polyester fibers. By adding fibers whose melting or decomposition temperature is higher than the melting temperature of the thermoplastic polymer used, channels are formed during the extrusion process, which allow the penetration and distribution of aqueous liquid into the structure and within the structure as well as the transfer of the liquid to the one below promote arranged storage layer.
  • the invention allows in a particularly advantageous manner that the basis weight, d. H. the thickness of the liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer can be varied in the longitudinal direction and / or in the transverse direction, the longitudinal direction being intended to coincide with the direction of extrusion.
  • Appropriate design of an extrusion opening, in particular an extrusion slot allows any cross-sectional structures to be achieved per se.
  • the thickness of the absorbent structure could be greater in the middle and decrease in any way according to the structure of the extrusion opening.
  • the width the extruded layer varies in the longitudinal direction; In this way, profiled layers such as an hourglass shape can be created in the top view.
  • the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer can also comprise a surface-active substance, in particular a hydrophilizing agent, in a proportion of preferably 0.2 to 10% by weight.
  • a hydrophilizing agent in a proportion of preferably 0.2 to 10% by weight.
  • This agent is fed together with the other starting materials to an extrusion device or injected into the already melted polymer mass; it is therefore already mixed with the polymer melt before it is extruded.
  • a further mechanical treatment e.g. B. stretching, pressing (rolling) and / or one Expose perforation with a fine needle tool.
  • a possibly closed pore can enter into liquid communication with other pores and contribute to the absorption capacity, but also to the distribution and forwarding function, or be activated.
  • Multi-stage rolling of the extruded structure is particularly advantageous.
  • a multi-stage rolling enables the use of several temperature and / or pressure stages.
  • the extruded structure can thus be changed / optimized in a more targeted manner with regard to the requirements of its later use.
  • a temperature in the calendering stage of 40-90 ° C., in particular 45-70 ° C., in particular 50-60 ° C., has proven to be suitable.
  • the extruded absorbent structure can then advantageously be pressed in a second calender stage, which is carried out cold, in particular at temperatures of 0-30 ° C., in particular at 15 -25 ° C.
  • the storage layer is also produced as an extruded foamed structure.
  • granular particles of superabsorbent materials together with thermoplastic polymer are introduced into an extrusion device and the thermoplastic polymer materials are melted at temperatures below the decomposition temperature of the superabsorbent polymer materials and extruded together with them.
  • both the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer and the storage layer within the production machine could be produced by direct coextrusion.
  • a liquid-impermeable film layer provided on the side of the storage layer facing away from the body can also be produced by coextrusion with the above layers. It can then advantageously on a fixative such.
  • B. a hot melt adhesive can be dispensed with, since the extruded layers can be fixed with one another, but also with respect to other layers and / or elements of the hygiene article in the course of their production by extrusion.
  • the liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer extending on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the hygiene article and in the direction of the user has upstanding wall sections that form a leakage barrier. These wall sections then take on the function of cuff elements which rise up towards the user and which, in the case of known hygiene articles, are usually formed from nonwovens with incorporated elasticizing agents.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for producing a liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer in the course of the production of a hygiene article with the features of claims 1 to 11.
  • C0 2 is preferably used as the blowing agent, but also saturated, unsaturated, cyclic hydrocarbons and halogenated hydrocarbons and noble gases such as argon, helium, or nitrogen or a water / air mixture or water itself, preferably in the form of moisture in or in the extruded materials would be conceivable.
  • Such an overpressure is preferably built up within the extrusion device that the blowing agent is in a so-called “supercritical" state in which the phase boundary between the liquid and gaseous state of matter disappears and only a single homogeneous phase is present.
  • This range is at C0 2 at temperatures above about 31 ° C and pressures above about 73.5 bar.
  • the blowing agent can be optimally mixed with the melted thermoplastic polymer in preparation for a physical foaming process. If this mixture is then passed through an extrusion opening into a region of lower pressure, the blowing agent evaporates as the temperature decreases, and the foamed open-pore structure of the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is formed.
  • temperatures of 80 to 200 ° C. are created within the extrusion device.
  • the extrusion cross section is changed in a correspondingly oscillating manner. This is done across the direction of extrusion, in the laydown direction, which varies the thickness of an extruded sheet, or across the laydown direction, which varies its width.

In this way, an operating pressure in the interior 4 depending on the blowing agent used in the extrusion process, generally above 70 bar, adjusted and maintained during the extrusion process.
  • a polyolefin in particular a polypropylene and / or polyethylene granulate, can be used, for example, as the thermoplastic polymer to produce the liquid absorption, distribution and intermediate storage layer.
  • These granules can be mixed with additives such as Fibers to be mixed.
  • the mixture thus obtained is fed into the interior 4 via the input device 2.
  • the mixture is brought to such an operating temperature by the heating devices 12 that the thermoplastic polymer melts.
  • a blowing agent for example CO 2
  • CO 2 is introduced into the interior 4 via the injection devices 20, 22 mentioned, so that there is an operating pressure which is suitable for extruding the partially melted mixture via the extrusion tool 16. Since the blowing agent should lead to foaming of the thermoplastic polymer in the course of extrusion, it is preferably introduced into the interior 4 in the so-called “supercritical state”.
  • the blowing agent expands and the mixture is foamed, that is to say, the expanding and generally escaping blowing agent forms communicating pores or cavities.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show a top view and a sectional view on or through a two-layer absorbent body 30 of a hygiene article according to the invention.
  • the absorbent body 30 comprises a liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer 32 facing the body and a storage layer 34 provided on its side facing away from the body, which comprises a proportion of at least 50% by weight, in particular at least 80% by weight, of superabsorbent polymer materials which can be embedded, for example, in a fiber structure (thermoplastic or natural fibers).
  • the liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer is formed from a thermoplastic polymer foamed by extrusion with the addition of a blowing agent.
  • the polymer comprises polyethylene and / or polypropylene.
  • hydrophilizing agents can be contained in the form of alkyl sulfonates, fatty acid derivatives or fluorochemicals.
  • the longitudinal and transverse dimensions of the layer 32 are smaller than those of the storage layer 34 located underneath such that the layer 32 is arranged on all sides inside the storage layer 34. In this way, impinging liquid cannot pass over the edges of the storage layer 34 due to the distribution effect within the layer 32.
  • the area portion of the layer 32 is preferably approximately 55-90% of the area of the storage layer 34.
  • any other geometrical configuration of the layer 32 would also be conceivable, in particular the layer 32 could have the same length in the longitudinal direction as that Storage layer 34, which would be advantageous in terms of manufacturing technology.
  • FIG. 4 shows a plan view of a further embodiment of a suction body 30, the body-facing liquid absorption, distributor and intermediate storage layer 32 having a varying width b in the longitudinal direction 36, which also corresponds to the extrusion direction. In the case shown, it is hourglass-shaped.
