NONWOVEN WEBS CONTAINING BACTERIOSTATIC COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

Nonwoven webs, such as coform webs, treated with a bacteriostatic composition are generally disclosed. The treated webs can attract and/or trap negatively charged matter, such as bacteria and other pathogens. The bacteriostatic composition can comprise a cationic polymer, a cationic oligomer, or particles coated with a cationic material. The bacteriostatic composition can be bonded to the fibers of the nonwoven web in a manner such that the bacteriostatic composition is not substantially transferable to the web's surrounding environment.
