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

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.
