An absorbent article comprising a hotmelt adhesive comprising a styrene-block-copolymer (SBC), an amorphous polyolefin and optionally a tackifier. The SBC is preferably selected from the group of SEBS, SEPS and SEP polymers, and the amorphous polyolefin is preferably a propylene-based copolymer (PbP) having a weight-average molecular weight Mw of less than 10 000 g/mol. The hotmelt adhesive bonds two components of the article, for example SAP particles on the core wrap.

Absorbent articles comprising a SBC based hotmelt adhesive

A hotmelt composition comprising, a low molecular weight metallocene-catalyzed polymer, a high molecular weight polymer, an amorphous polyolefin and a tackifier. The hotmelt composition is particularly useful in absorbent articles such as diapers. The hotmelt composition provides especially good nonwoven-film bonds but can also be used for nonwoven-nonwoven bonds.

Tackified hotmelt adhesive composition

Described herein is an absorbent article having an absorbent core. The absorbent core includes a superabsorbent polymer material and a superabsorbent polymer immobilizing material. The superabsorbent polymer immobilizing material includes from about 20% to about 70% of a first polymer and from about 30% to about 80% of a second polymer. The superabsorbent polymer immobilizing material has a Shear Viscosity at 10 (1/s) at 230&#xb0; C. of from about 300 mPa&#xb7;s to about 10,000 mPa&#xb7;s.

Absorbent cores comprising a superabsorbent polymer immobilizing material

The invention relates to thermoplastic molding compounds having melt viscosities of less than 30,000 mPas for use as a hot-melt adhesive, comprising the components A and B, wherein component A comprises one or more C/Ccopolymers each produced with metallocene catalysts and each having a melt viscosity at 170&#xb0; C. of less than 20,000 mPas, measured according to DIN 53019, and a molecular weight Mof 1000 g/mol to 50,000 g/mol, and component B comprises one or more C/Ccopolymers each produced with metallocene catalysts and each having a melt flow index MI of 1 to 100 g/m in, measured at 190&#xb0; C./2.16 kg, according to ASTM D 1238, and a molecular weight Mof 50,000 g/mol to 300,000 g/mol. Said thermoplastic molding compounds, because of the viscosity and mechanical properties thereof, are suitable for fiber mesh applications.
