GERUCHSINHIBITOREN ENTHALTENDES LATEX.

摘要

A nonwoven fabric repellent to body fluids and having reduced odor on sterilization by irradiation or steam is made by bonding nonwoven fibers with a latex, forming said nonwoven fabric, and sterilizing said fabric, said latex is prepared by polymerizing, in the presence of 0.1 to 2 weight parts of a free radical initiator and a sufficient amount of a nonionic or anionic emulsifier, 65 to 85 weight parts of a soft hydrophobic monomer having Tg of -80 DEG C to -20 DEG C, 10 to 30 weight parts of a hard hydrophobic monomer having Tg of +40 DEG C to + 120 DEG C, 0.1 to 5 weight parts of an unsaturated carboxylic acid containing 3 to 6 carbon atoms, and 0.1 to 5 weight parts of N-alkylol acrylamide or methacrylamide containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, said latex has post-added and admixed therein 0.01 to 5 weight parts of an odor inhibition agent selected from amine-type antioxidants and hindered phenols that function to reduce odor of said fabric on sterilization thereof.
