H.B. Fuller’s Product Presentation
Core Adhesive Solution enabling the use of Short Fibers in Hygiene Products
The hygiene industry has traditionally relied on long fibers for absorbent core applications due to their proven processability and performance. However, the growing demand for sustainable and cost-efficient alternatives has accelerated the adoption of short fibers derived from diverse and renewable sources. These alternative fibers offer compelling benefits, including up to lower water consumption, reduced fossil fuel usage, and a overall cost optimization.
Despite these advantages, short fibers present significant processing challenges. Their reduced length makes defibration more demanding, impacts uniform core formation, and complicates SAP distribution, ultimately affecting absorbent performance and product integrity.
This presentation introduces a purpose-designed core adhesive solution engineered to address these challenges. By optimizing adhesive formulation and application, the solution enhances fiber bonding, improves core integrity, and enabling efficient processing of short fibers on existing hygiene production lines. The approach allows manufacturers to unlock the sustainability and cost benefits of short fibers while maintaining high performance standards in disposable hygiene products.
Don’t miss the chance to hear from Karsten Voss, Global R&D Technical Director during his presentation titled, "Core Adhesive Solution enabling the use of Short Fibers in Hygiene Products” on May 20, 13:30 CET.
