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/m 2 and 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.

Claims (22)

1. A liquid management layer for a personal care absorbent article, the liquid management layer comprising:

a plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the form of a spunbond nonwoven web, wherein the plurality of thermoplastic fibers are randomly oriented and uncrimped, wherein the liquid management layer has a maximum void volume of 25 cc/g and a web density of at least 0.05 g/cc, wherein the liquid management layer has a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm, a basis weight of at least 30 g/m 2 and a rewet value of less than 0.4 g according to test method WSP 70.8, and wherein 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 wherein 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.

2. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a maximum compressibility of 30%.

3. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the fibers comprise polypropylene, and wherein all of the fibers in the liquid management layer are in the spunbond nonwoven web.

4. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a basis weight between about 30 g/m 2 to about 100 g/m 2 .

5. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the fibers exhibit an average fiber diameter ranging from about 40 to about 80 microns.

6. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the average fiber diameter is at least 45 microns.

7. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the average fiber diameter is at least 55 microns.

8. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the spunbond nonwoven web is stabilized by thermal point bonding.

9. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a permeability factor of at least 11.

10. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein less than 5% by count of the plurality of thermoplastic fibers in liquid management layer have an absolute fiber diameter less than 30 microns.

11. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein at least 95% of the plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the liquid management layer have an absolute fiber diameter of at least 30 microns.

12. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the fibers comprise polypropylene, and wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a basis weight at least 40 g/m 2 and is stabilized by thermal point bonding, and wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a maximum compressibility of 30% and a permeability factor of at least 11.

13. The liquid management layer of claim 1 , wherein the average fiber diameter is at least 55 microns, wherein the fibers comprise polypropylene, wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a basis weight of at least 40 g/m 2 and is stabilized by thermal point bonding, and wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a maximum compressibility of 30% and a permeability factor of 11 or greater.

14. A personal care absorbent article comprising:

a bottom sheet, a liquid management layer, and an absorbent core positioned between the liquid management layer and the bottom sheet, wherein the liquid management layer comprises a plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the form of a spunbond nonwoven web, wherein the plurality of thermoplastic fibers are randomly oriented and uncrimped, wherein the liquid management layer has a maximum void volume of 25 cc/g and a web density of at least 0.05 g/cc, wherein the liquid management layer has a maximum thickness of 1.5 mm, a basis weight of at least 30 g/m 2 and a rewet value of less than 0.4 g according to test method WSP 70.8, and wherein 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 wherein 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.

15. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , further comprising a top sheet, wherein the liquid management layer is positioned between the top sheet and absorbent core.

16. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , wherein the average fiber diameter is at least 45 microns.

17. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , wherein the average fiber diameter is at least 55 microns.

18. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , wherein less than 5% of the plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the liquid management layer have an absolute fiber diameter less than 30 microns.

19. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , wherein at least 95% of the plurality of thermoplastic fibers in the liquid management layer have an absolute fiber diameter of at least 30 microns.

20. The personal care absorbent article of claim 14 , wherein the fibers comprise polypropylene, wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a basis weight at least 40 g/m 2 and is stabilized by thermal point bonding, and wherein the liquid management layer exhibits a maximum compressibility of 30% and a permeability factor of at least 11.
