INVESTIGATING COMFORT COMPONENTS OF NON-WOVEN SURFACES SUITABLE FOR THE SKIN LAYER OF SANITARY PADS

Abstract

In this study, characterization studies on the usability of regenerated cellulose-based products on the skin-contacting top layer of sanitary pads were reported. For this purpose, five different spunlace nonwovens with 100% viscose, viscose/polyester blend and 100% Tencel content, having no aperture, were selected. The square meter weights of the selected nonwovens vary between 42 -72 g/m2. The air permeability and water vapor permeability properties of the samples range between 856-2079 mm/s and 724-767 g/m2/day, respectively. According to the drying time test performed, it was determined that the nonwovens containing 100% viscose reached their initial weight after two hours. Surface structure and low-stress mechanical properties of nonwovens were evaluated with Tactile Sensation Analyzer which is a novel instrument developed to analyze tactile comfort of various textiles. It was detected that the viscose/polyester (50/50) blended sample has the lowest rigidity. No significant difference was observed between micro and macro surface variations of nonwovens. Considering the outputs of the current research, it was concluded that viscose and viscose/polyester blend nonwovens produced with low mass per unit area and thickness could provide higher comfort in top layer applications of sanitary pads.

Öz

Bu çalışmada, rejenere selüloz esaslı ürünlerin, hijyenik pedlerin cilde temas eden üst tabakasında kullanılabilirliğine yönelik karakterizasyon çalışmaları rapor edilmiştir. Bu amaçla %100 viskoz, viskoz/poliester karışımı ve %100 Tencel içerikli, su jeti ile birleştirilmiş apertürsüz beş farklı dokusuz yüzey seçilmiştir. Seçilen dokusuz yüzeylerin metrekare ağırlıkları 42 -72 g/m2 aralığında değişmektedir. Numunelerin hava geçirgenliği ve su buharı geçirgenliği özellikleri sırasıyla 856-2079 mm/s ve su buharı geçirgenliği 724-767 g/m2/gün aralığındadır. Gerçekleştirilen kuruma süresi testine göre %100 viskoz içeren dokusuz yüzeylerin iki saatin sonunda ilk ağırlığına ulaştığı belirlenmiştir. Çok çeşitli tekstil yüzeylerinin dokunsal konforunun analizi amacıyla geliştirilen yeni bir ölçüm cihazı olan Tactile Sensation Analyzer ile dokusuz yüzeylerin yüzey yapısı ve düşük yük mekanik özellikleri değerlendirilmiştir. Viskoz/poliester (50/50) karışımlı dokusuz yüzeyin en düşük rijitliğe sahip örnek olduğu saptanmıştır. Dokusuz yüzeylerin mikro ve makro yüzey varyasyonu değerleri arasında ise anlamlı bir fark gözlemlenmemiştir. Mevcut araştırmanın çıktıları göz önüne alındığında, düşük birim alan kütlesi ve kalınlıkta üretilen viskoz ve viskoz/poliester karışımlı dokusuz yüzeylerin hijyenik pedlerin üst tabaka uygulamalarında daha yüksek konfor sağlayabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.
