The invention includes a hot melt adhesive composition based on polyolefin polymers that can be used for construction applications in a disposable absorbent article. The olefin based hot melt adhesive composition has surprisingly good cohesive strength and a low odor.

High cohesive strength polyolefin construction adhesive

This invention claims low application temperature hot melt adhesive compositions including at least about 15% by weight of a first styrene block copolymer with a melt flow rate of at least about 15 g/10 minutes (190&#xb0; C., 2.16 kgs) and a diblock content of no greater than about 10% by weight.

Low application temperature hot melt adhesive composition

This invention claims a disposable article including at least two bonded regions, one of the regions has elastic properties; the other region is different from the first.

Disposable article including at least one elastic bonded region

A hot melt pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes ABA block copolymer(s), a midblock resin, a plasticizer, and optionally, an endblock resin. The A block is derived from styrene and B block is derived from butadiene or its hydrogenated version. The block copolymer(s) has an average styrene content of from about 15% to about 35%, an average diblock content of no less than about 20%, and an average solution viscosity of less than about 1,000 cps.

High shear pressure sensitive adhesive composition

This invention relates to a non-contact coating method for producing a continuous coating and articles constructed therefrom. This invention further relates to a method for producing a textile material with a moisture-impermeable barrier layer and to a method for producing a moisture-absorbing article of hygiene which has such a barrier layer. This invention particularly relates to a textile material and hygienic disposable articles comprising a body fluid impermeable barrier layer produced from said coating method. Preferably, the thermoplastic composition used in the method for producing the barrier layer exhibits certain rheological characteristics.

Method for producing a continuous thermoplastic coating and articles constructed therefrom

Disclosed are adhesives and processes for preparing the same, comprising at least one first homogeneous ethylene/&#x3b1;-olefin interpolymer, and optionally at least one tackifier, and optionally at least one plasticizer. The claimed adhesives are useful as adhesives such as are employed in various applications, such as in masking tape, clear office tape, labels, decals, bandages, decorative and protective sheets (such as shelf and drawer liners), floor tiles, sanitary napkin/incontinence device placement strips, sun control films, the joining of gaskets to automobile windows, packaging, bookbinding, construction of nonwoven articles, and insulation bonding.

Adhesives comprising olefin polymers

The invention is directed to a radiation curable adhesive composition comprising at least one vinyl modified block copolymer having a first polyvinyl aromatic block and a second polydiene block having vinyl functionality, and at least one tackifier. Optionally, the composition may comprises at least one second block copolymer that has not been vinyl modified, at least one platicizer, and at least one wax. The invention is also directed to a double-faced label formed from the composition and the method of producing said label.

Radiation curable adhesive compositions comprising block copolymers having vinyl functionalized polydiene blocks

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a thermoplastic component and at least one superabsorbent polymer, methods of use for such composition, and articles comprising such composition. The composition may be formed into a film layer or applied to an article with various hot melt adhesive application techniques. The composition is useful for a variety of end-uses, particularly for use in disposable absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, feminine napkins and medical dressings.

Compositions comprising a thermoplastic component and superabsorbent polymer

This invention relates to water responsive thermoplastic compositions and articles constructed thereof. This invention particularly relates to thermoplastic copolyester compositions useful for the manufacture of disposable-articles such as disposable diapers and feminine napkins. More particularly, this invention relates to thermoplastic copolyester compositions that are useful as a raw material in the manufacture of nonwovens, barrier films or coatings and as well as for various improved hot melt adhesives compositions useful for incorporating hydrophilic features into disposable articles.

Non-woven application for water dispersable copolyester

The present invention is directed to compositions that are useful for forming breathable film layers and articles constructed therefrom. The composition comprises at least one thermoplastic polymer compounded with at least one diluent or a radiation curable composition. The composition is impermeable to fluids and exhibits a water vapor transmission rate of at least 100 g/m /day.

Breathable film layer compositions

Adhesive compositions are disclosed that include a block copolymer that includes monomers selected from the group consisting of styrene, isoprene, butadiene, and combinations thereof, from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight surfactant, and a tackifying agent. The adhesive composition has a surface tension of at least about 34 dynes/cm,.
