Diapers

We supply polymers and compounds that are utilized to make elastic films for use in both infant and adult disposable diaper applications.

Elastic films are also gaining importance in the medical, packaging and hygienic market segments. They provide softness combined with elasticity and strength. Thermoplastic SBC based elastomers provide the best balance of these properties, and can be processed in blown and cast films equipment, either as a monolayer, or in combination with other polymers and fabrics. PE and PP are very compatible and thus they can be thermally bonded together. These films can be used in waist bands, closure tapes, side panels, and backsheets.

We can also help you to introduce elasticity into non woven fabrics. Non woven fabrics are flat, flexible, porous sheet structures, produced by interlocking layers of fibers or filament structures. The technical criteria for disposable nonwoven includes sufficient strength and extensibility to withstand high-speed converting processes.

They provide a balance of softness and rigidity to accommodate the intended use as well as processing and transportation. Fabrics produced by extrusion techniques are referred to individually as spunbonded, meltblown, textured or apertured film nonwovens or generically as polymer laid nonwovens.  Furthermore they are manufactured to engineering specifications and compete with industrial woven and other textile fabrics.
