Primerjalna analiza digitalnih in aplikatorskih higienskih tamponov

Pregelj, Patricija (author), Demšar, Andrej (mentor)

Namen diplomske naloge je predstavitev in primerjava lastnosti klasičnih (digitalnih) ter aplikatorskih ženskih higienskih tamponov, primerjava obnašanja tamponov med razslojevanjem ter primerjava dveh metod razslojevanja. V teoretičnem delu sta predstavljena oba tipa tamponov in do zdaj objavljene raziskave, povezane s tema dvema vrstama tamponov. V eksperimentalnem delu so predstavljene uporabljene laboratorijske metode za preizkušanje lastnosti higienskih tamponov: masa tampona, dimenzije tampona (dolžina, premer), stabilnost tampona, pretrg vrvice, absorpcija tampona in razslojevanje tampona (Tosamina metoda, UL metoda). Izvedena je bila tudi primerjava dveh metod za določanje razslojevanja tamponov. V poglavju Rezultati z razpravo so podani rezultati meritev in razprava o pomenu rezultatov. Na podlagi izvedenih meritev je bilo mogoče slediti spremembam lastnosti tamponov kot posledici sprememb proizvodnih pogojev. Na podlagi dobljenih rezultatov je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila izboljšava v izdelavi tamponov ustrezna. Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da je metoda razslojevanja razvita v Tosami primernejša za preizkušanje razslojevanja kot metoda razvita v Underwriter Laboratories.

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is the presentation and comparison of the properties of digital and applicator women's hygiene tampons, the comparison of tampon behaviour during stratification and the comparison of the two methods of stratification. The theoretical part presents both types of tampons and the research published so far related to these two types of tampons. The experimental part presents laboratory methods that are performed to test the properties of hygienic tampons: tampon mass, tampon dimensions (length, diameter), tampon stability, cord extraction, tampon absorption and tampon stratification (Tosama method, UL method). The comparison of the two methods to determine tampon stratification was also performed. The chapter Result with the discussion presents the results of the measurements and discusses their meaning. Based on the measurements it was possible to track the changes in tampon properties in accordance with the changes in production conditions. Based on the obtained results it was established that the improvement in the manufacturing process was appropriate. It was also confirmed that the Tosama method is more appropriate to test tampon stratification than the UL method.
