TEXTILE ABSORBANT ET RÉSISTANT AU LAVAGE AYANT DES PROPRIÉTÉS ANTI MICROBIENNES ET/OU UNE FACILITÉ DE LAVAGE AMÉLIORÉE , EN PARTICULIER POUR UNE SERVIETTE HYGIÉNIQUE RE-UTILISABLE
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is directed to a textile material to which one or more antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered. The agent(s) is/are adhered to the textile material in such a manner that they are not released from the textile even if the textile is wetted or washed, so that the textile is reusable. Washability and/or usability of the textile are improved where one or more hydrophilic and/or stain release agents are adhered to the textile. The textile material can be used, e.g., in a reusable sanitary napkin or other hygiene product. The structure of the sanitary napkin is disclosed, together with a process of attaching the different layers of the sanitary napkin together by ultrasonic welding. The invention further relates to a method of finishing a textile material by applying and binding antimicrobial and/or hydrophilic and/or stain release agents to the textile material so that the agents are essentially irreversibly adhered to the finished textile material.
