Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9945876A1] The present invention is a fluid handling member having improved balance of permeability, ability to release fluid both at full and partial saturation. This member has (i) a sufficiently open structure with a permeability of at least about 1 Darcy at 100 % saturation, (ii) the ability readily release the fluid contained therein by having a low Capillary Sorption Desorption Height (CSDH 50) of less than about 150 cm, and (iii) a permeability at 50 % of their saturation, which is more than about 14 % of the permeability at 100 % saturation. A preferred execution of such materials comprises an open celled foam material, such as of a High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) type. Such materials are particularly useful for absorbent articles, such as diapers, adult incontinence articles, or feminine hygiene articles.
