LOW VISCOSITY THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITIONS FOR STRUCTURES WITH ENHANCED MOISTURE VAPOUR PERMEABILITY AND THE UTILISATION THEREOF IN ABSORBENT ARTICLES

摘要

The present invention relates to thermoplastic compositions for making a liquid impermeable moisture vapour permeable layer by coating the compositio n onto a substrate. The thermoplastic compositions comprise preferred thermoplastic polymers and suitable hydrophilic plasticisers that also enhan ce the moisture vapour permeability of films or layers made from the thermoplastic compositions. The layers made from the termoplastic compositio ns of the present invention can find a variety of applications wherein moisture vapour permeability is desirable, such as within absorbent articles for example diapers, sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence products, a nd also protective bedding covers, protective clothing and the like.
