Sanitiser in polymer and its use in non-wovens

摘要

The invention provides a sanitiser incorporated in a polymeric composition which polymeric composition comprises vinylester and alkyl(metha)acrylate and/or ethylene and at least one post polymerisation crosslinkable monomer. Preferably the polymeric composition comprises vinylacetate and alkylacrylate (e.g. butylacrylate or 2-ethylhexylacrylate) and as crosslinkable monomer N-methylolacrylamide and/or an alkylester of N-methylolacrylamide. It is preferred that the weight ratio of vinylacetate : alkylacrylate: crosslinkable monomer is from 30 - 80 : 20 - 70 : 0.5 - 10. Preferably the sanitiser comprises a halogenated phenol derivative, especially 2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-dichloro-diphenylmethane (Panacide).
