| Summary: | The present invention is directed to water-sensitive compositions having improved processability. In addition, the present invention is directed to a process of making water-dispersible thermoformable articles, such as fibers, films and fabrics, which maintain their integrity and strength when in use, but dissolve and disperse when placed in contact with large amounts of water, such as in a conventional toilet. Moreover, the present invention is directed to water-dispersible products, including flushable products such as personal care products, diapers, feminine napkins, wipes, incontinence products, release liners, product packaging, etc., which contain the above-mentioned fibers, films and fabrics.
The present invention is directed to thermoformable ion-sensitive compositions having improved processability. In addition, the present invention is directed to a process of making water-dispersible fibers, films and fabrics, which maintain their structural integrity and strength when in use, but dissolve and disperse when placed in contact with large amounts of water, such as in a conventional sink or toilet. Moreover, the present invention is directed to water-dispersible products, including flushable products such as personal care products, diapers, incontinence devices, release liners, feminine napkins, product packaging, etc., which contain fibers, films and fabrics formed from the water-sensitive compositions. |
