Absorbent and Hygiene Products
Active comfort, for every age and lifestyle.
What’s expected from today’s absorbent and hygiene products? Softness. Comfort. Fit. Discreetness. Aesthetics. Strength. Sustainability. And, of course, protection.
That’s what we mean when we talk about “active comfort” for nonwoven and fiber, elastic, top and backsheet film and hot melt adhesive solutions.
With options for breathable and non-breathable blown and cast films – plus extrusion coating – our polyethylene resins enable development of lightweight, flexible, high-performance films that combine barrier, durability, discreetness, and more.
Our elastomeric polymers offer excellent comfort stretch, body fit, breathability, and discreetness to deliver waistbands, panels, ears, and landing strips that meet the needs of even the most active infants and toddlers.
Ultra-soft, cloth-like comfort; enhanced breathability; and low noise are just a few of the advantages offered by our ethylene-based materials for nonwovens and fibers
Our polyolefin elastomer-based materials for HMAs offer more efficient bonding; thermal and color stability; clean, consistent application; and reduced odor.
Feminine hygiene products demand ultra-thin, lightweight, flexible, and quiet films that still deliver excellent barrier performance. Our polyethylene options for breathable and non-breathable blown and cast films…plus extrusion coating…are definitely up to the challenge.
Our ethylene-based resins help produce nonwovens and fibers with ultra-soft, cloth-like aesthetics; low noise; and enhanced breathability for softer, quieter, and more comfortable feminine hygiene products.
The exceptional bonding; thermal and color stability; clean, consistent application; and reduced odor of our polyolefin elastomer-based HMA resins offer confidence and peace of mind to both manufacturers and consumers.
Users of adult incontinence products need to be comfortable and move freely. Our polyolefin elastomer-based materials help bring excellent comfort stretch, body fit, breathability, and discreetness to both large and small elastic components.
Our ethylene-based polymers help produce nonwovens and fibers that fulfill consumer desires for ultra-soft, cloth-like comfort; discreetness; improved skin health; and more.
Our polyethylene resins allow the development of high-performance barrier films that are thin yet durable, tough yet discreet. And extremely versatile too – with processing options that include breathable and non-breathable blown and cast films, as well as extrusion coating.
Extremely efficient bonding; thermal and color stability; clean, consistent application; and reduced odor mean our polyolefin elastomer-based HMA materials are well prepared for the challenges of adult hygiene products.
With a rich portfolio of surfactants, solvents, amines, chelants, rheology modifiers, and more, we’re ready to help meet the unique performance, processing, and regulatory needs of nonwoven wipes.
Substrates made with our ethylene-based polymers offer excellent potential for development of nonwoven wipes that combine outstanding softness and reliable performance with enhanced sustainability, shorter supply chains, and lower overall costs.
Our proven binder technologies – including APE-free, ultra-low formaldehyde products – offer outstanding performance and value for nonwoven wipe applications.
Materials for absorbent and hygiene applications
Softness is only the beginning
From cloth-like softness and comfort stretch to clean, virtually odor-free adhesives and lightweight, breathable and non-breathable films, we offer materials that help improve comfort and skin health. That help people of all ages move freely with confidence. And that are helping work toward a more sustainable, circular economy.
Innovation through collaboration
Strong knowledge of material science and expertise in developing hygiene applications allow us to partner with customers on exciting new solutions.
Pack Studios ̶ our exclusive, global network of technical experts, equipment and testing capabilities – supports these efforts, helping bring innovations to market faster and more cost efficiently. In-house hygiene development tools include sensory labs, as well as small-scale fabrication and testing of lamination, bonding, fiber spinning, compounding and more.
Driving real change
We believe that teamwork allows us to make a greater positive impact on the future. We’re designing for recyclability; developing thinner, lighter mono-material solutions; helping reduce waste and improve recycling streams. We’re also investing in bio-based feedstocks and investigating other advanced technologies.
We’re excited to continue moving toward a more sustainable, circular economy. And we’d love to help make your absorbent and hygiene applications part of the solution. Let’s move forward together.
