  • the fluid-entangled, nonwoven, flexible substrate sample is then laid out on a solid, flat surface.
  • a piece of two-sided 3M #409 tape is positioned over and attached to a substrate sample (lengthwise and aligned with the machine direction of the substrate) so that at least an 11 cm x 4 cm area of the substrate is covered by the tape in the specified alignment.

  • the substrate residue from each sample is the sum of the weight-increase of the removal tapes from the sandpaper and from the surface of the abraded sample as described above.
  • the Substrate Residue Value for defining the wet topical wipes of the present invention is then calculated.
  • the starting weight for each piece of release tape is subtracted from the ending weight with attached substrate residue as described above.

For any given substrate sample, the weight of residue collected from the sandpaper and the weight of residue collected from the abraded substrate are added together to obtain the total residue weight of lost from the sample during testing.
  • This sum value is converted to milligrams (mg) and then converted from absolute weight loss to weight loss per unit area by dividing the total sum value weight of collected residue by the size of the abraded area (44.0 cm 2 ) for the unit of mg/cm 2 ', which is then a Substrate Residue Value, which is then evaluated and averaged over a ten (10) specimen average to provide the Substrate Residue Value for purposes of defining the wet topical wipe and corresponding methods of the present invention.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des lingettes topiques humides pour application cutanée ainsi que des techniques d'utilisation desdites lingettes sur des zones rugueuses de la peau, comme la peau du visage chez l'homme ou les zones soumises au rasage. Ces lingettes topiques comprennent (a) un substrat souple non tissé à enchevêtrement par fluide, dont la valeur de résidu est comprise approximativement entre 0,1 mg/cm2 et 1,2 mg/cm2, et (b) un support aqueux contenu dans le substrat souple. Ces lingettes topiques humides présentent une souplesse améliorée et permettent de réduire la quantité de résidu de substrat visible (p. ex. fibres ou peluches) restant sur la peau après application, en particulier lorsque la lingette topique est appliquée sur des zones rugueuses comme la peau du visage chez l'homme, les zones soumises au rasage ou toute autre zone similaire.
