Abstract
Fibrous absorbent articles such as disposable diapers, catamenial devices, wound dressings, bandages, incontinence pads, wipes, underwear, shoe inserts and the like, contain an effective amount of crystalline, siliceous molecular sieve having pore diameters of at least about 5.5 Angstroms and a relatively low capacity for adsorbed water, and exhibit enhanced deodorizing properties with respect to the body fluids intended to be absorbed.
Claims20
A fibrous absorbent article for absorbing body fluids comprising a fibrous material defining a structure suitable for absorbing body fluids and an effective amount to reduce odors from the body fluids of crystalline siliceous molecular sieve in which at least about 90 percent of the framework tetrahedral oxide units are SiO.sub.2 tetrahedra, having pore diameters of at least about 5.5 Angstroms and having a capacity for adsorbed water not greater than 10 weight percent when measured using a water vapor pressure of 4.6 torr at a temperature of 25.degree. C. and for a time of two hours.
