A thermoplastic elastomer compound includes a polyolefin elastomer blend of at least two different polyolefin elastomers, styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer, and plasticizer. The compound has a Melt Flow Rate (230&#xb0; C., 2.16 kg) of no less than about 5 g/10 min and a Melt Flow Rate (190&#xb0; C., 2.16 kg) of no less than about 1 g/10 min. Elastomeric films formed from the compound can be used in place of elastomeric films based on styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) block copolymers to make components of disposable hygiene articles.

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for permanently or temporarily re-designing, decorating, and/or re-coloring a surface. The compositions useful in the present disclosure include a d&#xe9;cor product formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. If desired, the d&#xe9;cor product may be substantially removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. If a user desires to remove the d&#xe9;cor product, the d&#xe9;cor product may be removed by, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. If the user desires to affix the d&#xe9;cor product to the surface in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, the d&#xe9;cor product may be affixed by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The d&#xe9;cor product may also be part of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the d&#xe9;cor product to a surface.

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for permanently or temporarily re-designing, decorating, and/or re-coloring a surface. The compositions useful in the present disclosure include a d&#xe9;cor product that is formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. If desired, the d&#xe9;cor product may be substantially removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. If a user desires to remove the d&#xe9;cor product, the d&#xe9;cor product is formulated to be removed by a number of methods including, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. If the user desires to affix the d&#xe9;cor product to the surface in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, the d&#xe9;cor product may be affixed to the surface by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The d&#xe9;cor product may also be utilized in the form of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the d&#xe9;cor product to create, for example, a pattern on the surface.

Composition for application to a surface

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for applying a colorant to a surface. Compositions are formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. The compositions may be substantially removed from the surface to remove a portion or substantially all of a stain before being affixed to the surface. The compositions are formulated to be removed by a number of methods including, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. Compositions may be permanently or semi-permanently affixed to the surface by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The compositions may also be utilized in the form of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the composition to create, for example, a pattern on the surface.

Devices for applying a colorant to a surface

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for permanently or temporarily re-designing, decorating, and/or re-coloring a surface. In one embodiment, a kit may include a stencil with a low-slip bottom layer and a colorant composition. Useful compositions include a d&#xe9;cor product that is formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. A d&#xe9;cor product may be removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. Permanent or semi-permanent affixation of the d&#xe9;cor product to the surface may be accomplished by applying heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical.

Kit including multilayer stencil for applying a design to a surface

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for permanently or temporarily re-designing, decorating, and/or re-coloring a surface. In one embodiment, a stencil is provided that has an embossed top layer and a low-slip bottom layer that has a static coefficient of friction between about 0.2 to about 1.2 and/or a kinetic coefficient of friction that is between about 0.1 to about 1.1 as measured against another surface having the same bottom surface as the stencil. Compositions useful in the present disclosure include a d&#xe9;cor product that is formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. If desired, the d&#xe9;cor product may be substantially removed from the surface before being affixed thereto. If a user desires to remove the d&#xe9;cor product, the d&#xe9;cor product is formulated to be removed by a number of methods including, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. If the user desires to affix the d&#xe9;cor product to the surface in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, the d&#xe9;cor product may be affixed to the surface by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The d&#xe9;cor product may also be utilized in the form of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the d&#xe9;cor product to create, for example, a pattern on the surface.

Multilayer stencils for applying a design to a surface

Compositions, methods, apparatuses, kits, and combinations are described for neutralizing a stain on a surface. The compositions useful in the present disclosure include a composition that is formulated to be applied and affixed to a surface. If desired, the composition may be substantially removed from the surface to remove a portion or substantially all of the stain before being affixed to the surface. If a user desires to remove the composition from the surface, the composition is formulated to be removed by a number of methods including, for example, vacuuming, wet extraction, chemical application, and the like. If the user desires to affix the composition to the surface in a permanent or semi-permanent manner, the composition may be affixed to the surface by applying energy thereto in the form of, for example, heat, pressure, emitted waves, an emitted electrical field, a magnetic field, and/or a chemical. The compositions may also be utilized in the form of a kit or in conjunction with a design device, such as a stencil, to control the application of the composition to create, for example, a pattern on the surface.
