Packages for absorbent articles

An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, wherein the intensive property is one or more of thickness, basis weight, or volumetric density, and wherein the first surface has a TS7 value different than a TS7 value of the second surface.

Shaped nonwoven

An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may include a plurality of discrete low bulk portions arranged in a pattern disposed along a longitudinal axis of the article, which facilitate z-direction movement of fluid through the topsheet and inhibit spreading of a fluid stain along the topsheet in the x and y directions.

A package containing polyolefin film having between about 10% and about 95%, by weight of the polyolefin film, of recycled polyolefin is described. The polyolefin film has an Average Hole Count between about 0.0 and about 10.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Gel Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Relative Gel Height between about 0.0% and about 150.0%. The polyolefin film has a Total Spot Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method.

Consumer product packages

The present disclosure is directed to a package configured to receive one or more absorbent articles. The package comprises a package material comprising natural fibers. The package comprises a plurality of panels comprising a consumer-facing panel and a back panel having one or more wicket holes in a portion thereof. The package is configured to be sealed such that the one or more absorbent articles are enclosed therein. The back panel comprises a first chamfered side edge and a second chamfered side edge in an area proximate to the one or more wicket holes. The package material comprises a barrier film layer disposed on an inner surface of the package material. The package is recyclable.

Recyclable packages

A cementitious composition including recycled superabsorbent polymer (RSAP) and a cementitious material. The RSAP has a purity level of at least 85 percent by weight of the RSAP. Also provided is a cementitious composition where the RSAP has substantially low levels of one or more residual drug entities. Also provided is a method for the construction of a self-sealing cement sheath, the method comprising: supplying a self-sealing slurry of a cementitious composition including cementitious material, an aqueous fluid, and RSAP into an underground geological formation, and allowing the self-sealing slurry of the cementitious composition to cure, thereby forming the self-sealing cement sheath. The RSAP is capable of swelling in the presence of fluid to seal any cracks formed in the self-sealing slurry during curing.

Cementitious compositions comprising recycled superabsorbent polymer

A polyolefin film having between about 10% and about 95%, by weight of the polyolefin film, of recycled polyolefin is described. The polyolefin film has an Average Hole Count between about 0.0 and about 10.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Gel Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Relative Gel Height between about 0.0% and about 150.0%. The polyolefin film has a Total Spot Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method.
