An absorbent article has a skincare composition applied on at least a portion thereof so as to be transferable to the skin of the wearer. The composition is solid at 21&#xb0; C. and includes at least three constituents, being chosen according to their melting behavior, and characterized, in particular, by the presence of a crystallization accelerator.

Absorbent article containing a skincare composition and method of making and using same

Methods for imparting softness to polyolefin-containing articles are described wherein the methods comprise: (a) providing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds of the general formula (I) and compounds of the general formula (II):A-B-C-B-A&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)A-B-Acyl&#x2003;&#x2003;(II)wherein each A independently represents a R&#x2014;C(O)O&#x2014; group wherein R represents an alkyl group having from 7 to 21 carbon atoms; each B independently represents a &#x2014;(CHO)&#x2014; group wherein n represents a number of from 2 to 4 and k represents a number of from 1 to 15; and C represents an alkylene group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms; (b) combining the at least one compound and a polyolefin-containing material to form a mixture; and (c) subjecting the mixture to further processing to form an article.

Internal softening additives for polyolefin-containing materials and methods of using the same

The invention relates to hydrophilic additives for synthetic fibres containing polyolefin; said additives are represented by general formula (I): A&#x2014;B&#x2014;C&#x2014;B&#x2014;A wherein A is a radical R&#x2014;COO, wherein R represents a saturated, cross-linked or non-cross-linked alkyl radical having 7&#x2013;21 C atoms, B represents a group (CHO), wherein n is a whole number from 2&#x2013;4 and k can have a value of 1&#x2013;15, C represents a linear or cross-linked alkylene radical having at least 2 and at the most 6 C atoms and the radical C can be, optionally, interrupted by oxygen atoms.

Hydrophilic additives

A process for antibacterially finishing a polymeric substrate involving: (a) providing a polymeric substrate made from a compound selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin, a polyester, and combinations thereof; (b) providing an antibacterial finish composition containing: (i) from about 0.1 to 10% by weight of at least one monoester of glycerol and a Cfatty acid; and (ii) from about 0.01 to 10% by weight of chitosan, all weights being based on the weight of the composition; and (c) applying the composition onto the polymeric substrate.

Method for providing fibers or non-woven fabric with an anti-microbial finish

Polymers having increased hydrophilicity are made by adding to the polymer an effective amount of an additive which is a di-C fatty acid ester of polyethylene glycol.
