Bonding Natural Substrates
Natural Substrate Challenges in the Baby Diaper and Feminine Care Markets
The challenge for many nonwoven hygiene producers is that natural materials, like cotton, can be more polar and swell during insult, putting more stress on the bond and leading to lower bonding performance, particularly in wet in-use conditions. Even with excessive coat weights, wet peel strength, and bonding performance can still be a challenge.
Innovation to Meet the Challenge of Natural Substrates
