Medical hygiene material manufacturers and suppliers collaborate to find low-cost thin products

As the demand for thinner diapers and products with lower pulp content increases, medical nonwoven manufacturers are aggressively "blocking" adhesive suppliers by sourcing distribution layer materials, films, nonwoven backsheets and tops, etc. to modify your product line. At the same time, adhesive suppliers for medical materials and manufacturers of hygiene products are struggling to find the best way to balance costs.
 
Fuller reduces the usage of absorbent cores
 
The inner core adhesive produced by the Fuller production line is mainly to restore the usage of the absorbent core in the fluff. Disposable healthcare manufacturers in Europe and around the world have introduced new ultra-thin diapers.
 
As consumers demand thinner nonwovens to improve the fit and comfort of an infant or adult wearer, "ingredient" adhesives need to keep wet The core is in place.
 
The thinning effect of sanitary products cannot be achieved by simply removing fluff pulp or reducing the amount of hairiness used, but it can be achieved by changing the design of the inner core. In March 2013, H.B. Fuller Company created a new product production line Fuller. The inner core adhesive produced by this production line is mainly to restore the usage of the absorbent core in the fluff to achieve the effect of making the product light and thin. Since the start of production of the line, new ultra-thin diapers have been introduced by European and worldwide producers of "disposable" healthcare nonwovens.
 
The Fuller line can act as an adhesive product driver to eliminate costs and reduce waste, and maintain a high level of sustainability awareness, resulting in less material usage and better for the environment. At the same time, HB Fuller has also been working on the development of the third-generation olefin-based nonwoven bonding technology, using rubber replacement as the basic technology, which is another measure to reduce costs.
 
Securance forms a porous topsheet to improve rewet performance
 
The low-adhesion properties can ensure that Securance forms a porous topsheet on the surface of the non-woven fabric, which improves the three-dimensional shape rewet performance and enhances comfort. Securance has become the perfect match for healthcare material manufacturers producing products with high aperture topsheets.
 
In order to meet the needs of manufacturers of medical and sanitary non-woven products, FEM Corporation of the United States launched Securance low-viscosity suture adhesive in April this year. This new adhesive offers superior performance, enabling lower grammage for medical nonwovens and the ability to absorb liquids even through perforated film topsheets. In addition, its low tack properties can ensure that it forms a porous topsheet on the surface of the non-woven fabric, which improves the three-dimensional shape rewet performance and enhances comfort. At present, Securance low-viscosity suture glue has become the best match target for medical and hygiene material manufacturers to produce thinner, more open, high-porosity topsheet products.
 
In general, manufacturers of medical hygiene products are reluctant to change the various applications of adhesives unless there is a clear benefit. But having said that, any method of reducing the total cost of producing an item is welcome, and FEM, as a promoter of adhesives for hygiene products, is focused on helping producers use less glue and can provide producers with More supply safety solutions to reduce the overall cost of adhesives.
 
"We're not only looking at future demand for medical pad positioning adhesives, but we're also looking at materials that will use this product in underwear," said Andrews, sales manager at FEM, which recently conducted a women's healthcare market study focused on adhesives. The positioning of the application. Underwear materials have changed not only in terms of design, but also in their fabric types. Of course, the bonding technology will also be appropriately innovated in this regard, but these factors must be taken into account to control the cost of the enterprise, so the modified application technology of the adhesive has become an important task for the enterprise.
 
ADL adhesive fully realizes the isolation of liquid and human body
 
High-loft ADL drainage adhesive provides better dryness through fast liquid absorption, diffusion and cushioning, especially suitable for ultra-thin/wood-free diapers, sanitary napkins and adult diapers.
 
Italian coil manufacturer Texsus is a company specializing in the production of high-loft ADL (distribution layer) materials, mainly using adhesive hot air penetration technology. Ms. Bulleri, the company's sales manager, said: "The development goal of diversion materials is to continuously reduce the thickness of the core layer. For this, the company has specially developed high-loft ADL diversion adhesives. Through rapid absorption, diffusion and cushioning of body fluids, Provides better dryness, especially suitable for ultra-thin/wood-free diapers, sanitary napkins and adult diapers. This high-loft ADL acts like a barrier to keep wet liquids away from human skin .” Acquitex is available in a wide variety of grammage weights, colors, fiber compositions, multi-layer structures, and biodegradable products.
