ABSTRACT:
A composition for increasing the resistance to removal by an aqueous liquid of surfactants from a polymeric fabric including fibers having a plurality of fiber-fiber interstices at junctions of two or more fibers. The composition includes water, a first surfactant, and a second surfactant which is structurally dissimilar to and less soluble in water than the first surfactant. One of the first and second surfactants has a solubility in water at 20.degree. C. no greater than about 5 percent by weight, based on the weight of the water. In certain embodiments, the first and second surfactants are adapted to preferentially locate in the fiber-fiber interstices and resist removal therefrom by aqueous liquid. The preferential location of the surfactants in the fiber-fiber interstices of the fabric is accomplished by working the fabric after application of the composition to the fabric. The resulting fabric is wettable and demonstrates increased resistance to removal of surfactants by an aqueous liquid, compared to similar fabrics which have not been worked. The wettable fabrics are especially suited for incorporation in such disposable absorbent articles as diapers, feminine care products, such as sanitary napkins and tampons, incontinent care products, training pants, wipes, and the like.
