ABSORBENT ARTICLES WITH STRETCH ZONES COMPRISING SLOW RECOVERY ELASTIC MATERIALS

摘要

An absorbent article having at least one stretch zone comprising a slow recovery elastomer wherein said slow recovery elastomer exhibits a normalized unload force of greater than about 0.04 N/mm2 at 37°C; and said slow recovery elastomer exhibits at least about 20% post elongation strain at 22°C after 15 seconds of recovery from a 400% strain. The absorbent article may additionally comprises at least one feature selected from the group consisting of a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core, an ear, a side panel, a waist feature, a fastener component, a leg cuff, a gasketing cuff, a barrier cuff, and combinations thereof; wherein the feature comprises at least a part of the stretch zone.
