Non-Woven Assembly

Nappies, feminine hygiene products, and adult incontinence items all use non-woven materials bonded together in multiple layers. Elastic attachment, absorbent core bonding, seam assembly, wing attachment – each component needs secure bonding whilst staying flexible and comfortable against skin.

The adhesive needs to be skin-safe and maintain its bond during active use. Heavy-duty adult incontinence products need stronger bonds than baby nappies because they’re under more stress for longer periods. Production speeds are high, so the adhesive needs to work quickly without compromising bond quality.

Production speeds are high – sometimes thousands of units per minute – so the adhesive needs to work quickly without compromising bond quality or comfort. The bond has to survive active use: movement, moisture, temperature changes from body heat. Skin-safe formulations are required since these products contact skin for extended periods.
