Absorbent products and components for use in absorbent products are disclosed. These absorbent products comprise pressure-sensitive adhesive microfibers and thermoplastic polymer microfibers, that when incorporated into absorbent products provide good liquid transport properties, resiliency, and attachment systems; and further mask odors associated with bodily fluids.
Claims34
An article comprising a substrate coated on at least one surface with pressure-sensitive adhesive microfibers at a weight of about 0.05 to about 2 ounces/square yard, wherein said pressure-sensitive adhesive microfibers comprise about 100 parts of an elastomeric component;
- about 20 to 300 parts of a resin component;
- and about 0 to about 70 parts of a plasticizer, with parts expressed in parts per one hundred parts by weight of the elastomeric component;
- and said microfibers have an average diameter of less than about 100 microns.
