A molding compact (20) for forming a transdermal absorption sheet (40) on which a needle-shaped protruding part is arranged is a molding compact that is a laminate of: a first member (17) having a needle-shaped recessed part (16) formed on a front surface thereof, the needle-shaped recessed part being an inverse of the needle-shaped protruding part; a second member (18) provided on a back surface of the first member, the second member being composed of a waterproof and moisture-permeable material; and a third member (19) provided on a back surface of the second member, the third member being composed of a rigid body. Provided are a molding compact that makes it possible to prevent leakage of a drug-containing solution filled into the needle-shaped recessed part, and a manufacturing method for a transdermal absorption sheet using the molding compact.

A method of forming composite components is described in which a composite lay-up is created using varying fibre types across the lay-up. This can adapt the lay-up to forming processes in regions of the lay-up to be formed and uses fibre types which give the greatest strength benefits in areas which do not need to be formed. Regions not requiring forming may have binders in them activated prior to a forming step or steps, after which the formed regions may be impregnated with a matrix and the component cured.

The invention refers to a disposable absorbent article such as a diaper, a pant or a sanitary napkin. The disposable absorbent article further comprises a structure which is able to elongate and simultaneously convert from an initial flat configuration into an erected configuration.

Hollow body comprising a thermoplastic wall and a fibrous reinforcement welded on at least one portion of the surface of said wall, the fibrous reinforcement comprising a thermoplastic similar to or compatible with that of the wall of the hollow body and having a thickness of at least 1 mm and comprising from 30 to 60% in weight of fibres.
