Methods for forming absorbent articles with nonwoven substrates

摘要

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a method of forming an absorbent article. The method comprises providing a nonwoven substrate comprising a plurality of fibers. At least some of the plurality of fibers comprise a plurality of fibrils extending outwardly from a surface of the fibers. The fibrils comprise a lipid ester having a melting point greater than 35° C. The method comprises incorporating the nonwoven substrate into the absorbent article.

主权项

1. A method of forming a component of an absorbent article comprising the steps of:
providing a nonwoven substrate comprising a plurality of fibers, wherein the plurality of fibers are formed from a composition comprising 11% to 35% of glycerol tristearate by weight of the composition; growing a plurality of fibrils out of at least some of the fibers post-nonwoven substrate formation under ambient conditions after a time period, wherein the time period is at least 12 hours post-nonwoven substrate formation; and incorporating the nonwoven substrate into the component of the absorbent article.
