Abstract
Disclosed herein is a synthetic fecal fluid composition which is useful with respect to the development of personal care devices such as diapers, training pants and incontinence garments which serve to collect and contain fecal matter. The synthetic fecal fluid composition of the present invention has a greater ability to retain liquid thereby improving its simulation of the actual material. As a result, this material is an improvement over prior materials which dewatered too quickly and therefore acted as poor supplements for use in the testing and development of personal care products. the composition contains a mixture of approximately 70 to 90% by weight of liquid such as water and approximately 10 to 30% by weight of solids including both water-soluble and water-insoluble components.
