New adhesives for ultra-thin nonwovens

HB Fuller will present new additions to its Full-Care range of adhesives for ultra-thin hygiene products at the SINCE 2013 global nonwovens exhibition later this month, which it says can lower costs all round.

Billed as being designed to meet the ongoing challenges of the nonwovens industry, HB Fuller Full-Care adhesives for hygiene manufacturers are said to potentially decrease in-use cost.

Weelim Shie, business director greater China, said: “We create new adhesives that don’t just hold thinner products together, but improve their performance overall. In nonwovens, that means more comfort and mobility for the end consumer. Not to mention more diapers on the shelf, lower transportation costs and less material use.”

HB Fuller technical experts will give a presentation at SINCE 2013 on Adhesives for Thinner Diaper Core Design, October 23, from 14.35 – 15.05.

The presentation is set to cover the role adhesives play in achieving core integrity, how consideration of the adhesive solution in the early stages of design can make a significant difference to the size, performance and competitiveness of the final product. 

Current Full-Care platforms from HB Fuller include Full-Care 5650, said to meet low odour requirements in hygienic disposables, combined with cost effectiveness and flexibility for use with a variety of nonwovens and films in product construction.

In addition, Full-Care 8500 is a hot melt adhesive for demanding elastic attachments and stretch laminate applications, providing bonding in high stress applications.
