Patent No. EP3941407 (titled "Absorbent Articles And Methods Of Making") was filed by Ontex on Mar 20, 2020. The application was issued on Nov 6, 2024.
An absorbent core for hygiene articles, such as diapers and sanitary napkins, comprising one or more channels that enhance fluid distribution and rewet performance. The core features a unique channel design that enables efficient fluid transport and prevents pooling, while maintaining optimal acquisition speed. The channels are strategically positioned to direct fluid flow away from the discharge region, promoting even distribution throughout the core. This design enables exceptional dryness and comfort while maintaining the core's ability to absorb and retain fluids.
