ABSORBENT ARTICLES WITH STRETCH ZONES COMPRISING SLOW RECOVERY ELASTIC MATERIALS

摘要

An absorbent article having at least one stretch zone comprising a slowrecovery elastomer wherein said slow recovery elastomer exhibits a normalizedunload force of greater than about 0.04 N/mm2 at 37~C; and said slow recoveryelastomer exhibits at least about 20% post elongation strain at 22~C after 15seconds of recovery from a 400% strain. The absorbent article may additionallycomprises at least one feature selected from the group consisting of a liquidpermeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core, an ear,a side panel, a waist feature, a fastener component, a leg cuff, a gasketingcuff, a barrier cuff, and combinations thereof; wherein the feature comprisesat least a part of the stretch zone.
