Assignee:
Polymer Group, Inc. - Charlotte NC
International Classification:
D04H 1/00
D04H 13/00
D04H 3/00
B32B 5/26
US Classification:
442335, 442381, 442401, 428219
Abstract:
Nonwoven polymer materials and articles made therefrom. Materials of the invention include at least one nonwoven polymer web with at least one layer of at least about 50% by weight of a multi-lobal fiber. Materials and articles of the invention have improved properties, such as particle retention capacity, acoustic absorption, stiffness, crop color uniformity, and crop yield, when compared with nonwoven polymer materials and articles made with round fiber in place of all of the multi-lobal fiber.

US Patent:
8426671, Apr 23, 2013
Filed:
Feb 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/026059
Inventors:
John F. Steffen - Denver NC, US
Pierre D. Grondin - Mooresville NC, US
Assignee:
Polymer Group, Inc. - Charlotte NC
International Classification:
A61F 13/531
A61F 13/53
US Classification:
604370, 604367
Abstract:
A liquid management layer constructed from large diameter uncrimped fibers in the form of a spunbond nonwoven web is described. Embodiments of the liquid management layer can include a plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the form of a spunbond nonwoven web where the plurality of thermoplastic fibers are randomly oriented and uncrimped, where the liquid management layer has a maximum void volume of 25 cc/g and a web density of at least 0. 05 g/cc, where the liquid management layer has a maximum thickness of 1. 5 mm, a basis weight of at least 30 g/mand a rewet value of less than 0. 4 g according to test method WSP 70. 8, and where the liquid management layer has an average fiber diameter of at least 40 microns based on the number of thermoplastic fibers in the liquid management layer and where less than 10% by count of the plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the liquid management layer have an absolute fiber diameter less than 30 microns. Additional embodiments of the invention include a personal care absorbent article incorporating the liquid management layer over an absorbent core.

Breathable Nonwoven/Film Laminate

US Patent:
20020132547, Sep 19, 2002
Filed:
Jan 12, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/759845
Inventors:
Pierre Grondin - Mooresville NC, US
Paul Kamnikar - Mooresville NC, US
Valeria Erdos - Mooresville NC, US
Richard Witmeyer - Mooresville NC, US
Marlene Storzer - Mooresville NC, US
Charles Pearce - Mooresville NC, US
International Classification:
B32B003/00
B32B005/02
B32B009/00
B32B005/18
B32B005/22
D04H003/16
US Classification:
442/401000, 442/059000, 442/076000
Abstract:
A nonwoven fabric/film laminate material is particularly suited for use as a “housewrap”, or in like building construction applications. The laminate material comprises a spunbond polypropylene nonwoven fabric, and a breathable, polymeric film which is extrusion-coated onto the nonwoven fabric layer. Both the fabric layer and extrusion-coating can be formed in a cost-effective manner on conventionally available processing equipment. By appropriate selection of the nonwoven fabric layer and film properties, the present laminate material acts as an effective barrier to liquid water and air infiltration, while providing desirable permeability to water vapor.

Abstract:
A nonwoven fabric useful as a component in a personal hygiene product and a nonwoven personal hygiene component, which is substantially free or free of non-ribbon shaped (e.g., round-shaped) spunbond fibers and includes a meltblown layer between and in direct contact with ribbon-shaped spunbond layers. The meltblown layer has a basis weight of at least about 0.008 gsm and not greater than about 5 gsm, and the nonwoven fabric or component has a basis weight of at least about 8 gsm and not greater than about 40 gsm, a pore size of less than or equal to about 27 microns when measured at 10% of cumulative filter flow. The nonwoven fabric also can have a low surface tension liquid strike through flow of less than 0.9 ml per second, a ratio of low surface tension liquid strike through flow to air permeability of greater than or equal to about 0.016, or both. Personal hygiene articles can incorporate the nonwoven fabric or component.
