The basic component of tiie erqimimental system applied to this study was an absorbent material normally used in personal hygiene articles. In principle tiiis would be loose or bonded cellulose flufi possibly blen with cross-linked sodium polyacrylate granules (known as superabsorbent polymer, SAP) for enhanced liquid capacity. Cellulose fibers or whole composites served as carriers of known and potmitial urease inhibitors. These substances were physically attached to the absoibent core by exhaustion fiom their solutions and subsequent drying of the substrates. A few examples of materials treated this... 

Food-service items constitute another significant end use, including cutlery, plates, cups, trays, and plastic coatings for paper products like plates and cups. Markets include institutions (hospitals, schools, prisons, and the military), the fast-food industry, and the general public. Another end use category is consiuner products, including such products as diapers, personal care and hygiene articles, sports and recreation items, and others. 

BiodegradabUity issues have been gaining importance. It has been proposed to reduce the SAP content in hygiene articles. However, this strategy does not necessarily involve a SAP optimization (8). 

Using injection molding technology, polyester amide lends itself to the production of one-way flower pots, plant holders, and plant markers or flower binders. Oneway dishes and hygiene articles are also current applications. Thanks to its blowmolding capability, bottles, canisters, and wreath rings can be produced. Fiber... 

In handling EP(D)M, normal industrial hygienic procedures should be followed. It is advisable to minimi2e skin contact. The use of EP(D)M is permitted for food contact under the conditions given in the respective EDA-paragraphs 177.1520 for Olefin polymers, and 177.2600 for mbber articles intended for repeated use. 

Various polymers and latexes ai e used in manufacturing different articles for medical use. Safety measures in using such articles require strict control measures which provide for detecting toxic substances on hygienic standard levels or on the permissible migration level (PML) (mg/dm ). Chromatographic reaction methods ai e used to reveal formaldehyde, phenol, and epichlorhydrin.

Personal hygiene is also important in minimizing exposure levels to harmful chemicals. Contaminated clothing should be immediately removed and laundered or disposed of. Absorbent articles of clothing such as belts and shoes are particularly troublesome. Provisions should be made for storage, laundering, and disposal of contaminated clothing.

The most widely spread use of superabsorbent polymers is in personal hygiene products such as disposable infant diapers, feminine sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence articles. In particular, over 90% of the total superabsorbent polymers are sold as infant... 

Biocides are additives used in a variety of articles ineluding plasties. When used in plastics the annual bioeide sales volumes are in excess of 2,500 tons with a value of over 175 million (147). They are used traditionally to prevent degradation of the plastic itself or more reeently to impart an external anti-microbial or hygienic effect. They achieve this by killing or... 

Hygienic applications do not necessarily provide any protection to the plastic article itself, although by their nature could do so. They provide protection against organisms that may come into contact or settle on them, thereby limiting transmission of disease.
