The invention includes a hot melt adhesive composition including an olefin polymer and a high melt point hydrocarbon tackifying agent, such compositions unexpectedly provide improved bonding between the layers found in a disposable absorbent article. In particular, such compositions improve the bond between the nonwoven top sheet and the acquisition distribution layer.

Hot melt adhesive with high softening point tackifying agent

Disclosed is a disposable absorbent article including two substrates; and an adhesive composition including a first polymer that is propylene-based and has a Mw of no greater than about 75,000, and a second polymer that is propylene-based and has a Mw of at least about 100,000, where the adhesive composition is used for at least two applications in the disposable absorbent article and is delivered via a molten bulk tank.

Disposable absorbent article and a method for making the same

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

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.

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 which can be produced from a non-contact coating method. Preferably, the thermoplastic composition used for producing the barrier layer exhibits certain rheological characteristics and comprises at least one homogeneous linear or substantially linear interpolymer of ethylene with at least one C.sub.3 -C.sub.20 alpha-olefin, further characterized by each said interpolymer having a polydispersity less than about 2.5.
