| abstract |
The invention is directed to a substrate, in particular a textile material, to which one or more antimicrobial and / or hydrophilic agents and / or stain removing agents are adhered. The agent (s) are adhered / adhered to the substrate in such a way that they are not removed from the textile material, even if the textile is wetted or washed, so that the textile is reusable. The wash resistance and / or usefulness of the textile is improved when one or more hydrophilic and / or stain removing agents are adhered to the textile. The backing sheet can be used, for example, in a reusable sanitary napkin or other hygiene product. The structure of a hygiene product is described, as well as a method of joining together different layers of a hygiene product by means of ultrasonic welding. In addition, the invention relates to a method for finishing a substrate by applying to the substrate and binding antimicrobial and / or hydrophilic agents and / or stain removing agents such that these agents are substantially irreversibly adhered to the finished substrate. |
