Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood. The absorbent core has at least two layers. A first layer having cellulose fibers that is substantially free of absorbent gelling materials; and a second layer having fibers and an absorbent gelling material and is substantially free of cellulose fibers.

Absorbent core having improved structure

Absorbent products for feminine protection, for example sanitary pads, pantiliners or tampons, comprising a cationic modified starch. The starch is modified by a cationizing agent comprising an ammonium group, wherein the degree of substitution of the cationizing agent is from about 0.070 to less than 0.50.

Absorbent product comprising a cationic modified starch

Absorbent articles provided with an odor control system. The odor control system includes at least two classes of odor control materials, wherein one class acts on malodors or a malodorous substance in the absorbent article and a second class acts on nose receptors. The classes of odor control materials may be selected to provide a synergistic effect in terms of malodor reduction.

Absorbent articles including an odor control system

Absorbent articles for the absorption of proteinaceous or serous body fluids, particularly menses. The absorbent article has a better handling towards such fluids, both in terms of retention capacity and absorption rate, by comprising a selected polyacrylate based material.

Absorbent article having increased absorption and retention capacity for proteinaceous or serous body fluids

Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood.

Thin absorbent core substantially free of cellulose fibers

Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles. The core comprises a substrate layer and a non uniform layer of absorbent material comprising an absorbent polymer material and a first and second surface. The non uniform layer of absorbent material comprises a layer of a thermoplastic material comprising a layer of thermoplastic material first surface and a layer of thermoplastic material second surface. The non uniform layer of absorbent material second surface is in at least partial contact with the substrate layer. Portions of the layer of thermoplastic material second surface are in direct contact with the substrate layer first surface and portions of the layer of thermoplastic material second surface are in direct contact with the non uniform layer of absorbent material first surface. The substrate layer comprises a fibrous material substantially free of cellulose fibers, the substrate layer having a basis weight from about 25 g/mto 120 g/m.

The present invention relates to a liquid bleaching composition comprising a hypohalite bleach, a trimethoxy benzoic acid or a salt thereof and a compound selected from the group consisting of bleach-unstable brighteners, and bleach-unstable coloring-agents and mixtures thereof.

Bleaching composition comprising an alkoxylated benzoic acid

The present invention relates to articles suitable for controlling odors, especially odors associated with bodily fluids, which comprise a cationic polysaccharide, preferably chitosan material, together with an odor controlling agent, preferably an odor absorbent agent and/or a chelating agent. This combination provides synergistic reduced odor control towards malodors associated with bodily fluids like menses.

Articles having an odor control system comprising a cationic polysaccharide and an odor controlling agent

The present invention relates to articles, preferably disposable absorbent articles like sanitary napkins and pantiliners, which comprise a chitosan material and an anionic absorbent gelling material. Such disposable absorbent articles deliver improved odor control performance and improved fluid handling properties/absorption performance, especially in case of electrolytes-containing fluids like menses.

Articles comprising chitosan material and an anionic absorbent gelling material

The present invention relates to breathable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, nursing pads and baby diapers, having a breathable backsheet, and comprising a chitosan material. Absorbent articles are provided that deliver not only initial high performing breathability but also maintain effective breathability in use as well as high protection level while delivering also effective odor control towards odor associated with bodily fluids.

Breathable absorbent articles comprising chitosan material

The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent articles like sanitary napkins and pantiliners having a peroxyacid for controlling odors associated with body fluids. The disposable absorbent article includes a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core intermediate to the backsheet and said topsheet and a peroxyacid. One of the peroxyacids utilized in the disposable absorbent article is epsilon-pthalimido peroxyhexanoic acid.

Articles with odor control

The present invention relates to a bleaching composition suitable for use in laundry applications comprising a pre-formed peroxycarboxylic acid, amine oxide and a co-surfactant or hydrotrope or mixtures.

Bleaching compositions

The present invention relates to a process for the stabilisation of an insoluble pigment in a hypohalite-containing composition and hypohalite-containing compositions comprising such stabilised pigment.

Process for stabilisation of coloured bleaching compositions

The present invention relates to a liquid bleaching composition comprising a peroxycarboxylic acid having at least one aromatic group and a co-agent selected from organic acids, homo or copolymers of acidic monomers and mixtures thereof.

The present invention relates to activated carbon free absorbent articles comprising an improved odor control system. The odor control system comprises the combination of silica and zeolite.
