Fabricating a Sanitary Napkin Performance Tester

ABSTRACT

With more and more research happening in the various dimensions of all the sanitary napkin components, various sanitary napkins are available in the market with enhanced functionalities. The increasing consumer awareness on eco-friendliness and the demanding expectations on disposable products to maintain a healthy environment have been the driving forces to initiate the research on improving the eco-friendliness of disposable hygienic product and producing low-cost sanitary napkins. The reasons for non-penetration of sanitary napkins in all strata of Indian markets are mainly due to financial non-affordability, lack of awareness about health, and hygiene etc. The efforts by the Government in the form of creating awareness and offering subsidiaries and supplying raw materials at low cost, low cost sanitary napkins are now available in the market. All these efforts will together guarantee the low cost of the sanitary napkin but still the quality is not ensured, the main reason for this is the higher cost of the testing apparatus. This project focuses on fabricating an economic and indigenous instrument for the accurate evaluation of selected performance properties of sanitary napkin. Varieties of sanitary napkins have been tested in this fabricated performance tester (SANPER tester) and analyzed.

摘要

本研究旨在开发以棉和eri丝为原料的针织牛仔布. 开发了三种3/1斜纹针织牛仔布组合. 采用100%棉、50%棉/50%eri丝、100%eri丝三种针织牛仔布, 生产了两种材料的棉纱30s和eri丝2/80 nm. 对开发的样品进行了水分管理性能测试. 与100%棉和50%棉/50%eri真丝针织牛仔布相比, 100%eri真丝针织牛仔布具有优异的累积单向传输指数和良好的整体水分管理能力. 结果表明, eri真丝针织牛仔布更适合于运动服装和功能性服装的应用.
