Abstract:
Backsheet films are frequently employed in the hygiene sector to act as a protective layer against liquids in products like baby diapers, feminine hygiene items, and adult incontinence products, for certain applications these films can require to obtain certain levels of breathability to ensure skin health. This study is focused on improving the mechanical properties for breathable backsheet films at lower thicknesses, where certain levels of breathability must be ensured within the structure. In this work, it will be evaluated the use of new structures and resins to improve the mechanical properties of highly porous and stretched-type films while maintaining breathability.
