Do you know about adult diaper raw material?
Adult diapers are made from several raw materials, each contributing to the absorbency, comfort, and overall functionality of the product. Here's a breakdown of the main diaper raw material commonly used in the production of adult diaper:
1. Top Sheet (Nonwoven Fabric)
Material: Typically made from polypropylene or a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene fibers.
2. Acquisition Layer (Optional in Some Diapers)
Material: Often made from a nonwoven fabric or air-laid paper.
3. Absorbent Core
The absorbent core is the key component that absorbs and holds urine. It consists of several materials:
Fluff Pulp (Wood Pulp):
Material: Primarily made from wood fibers (cellulose).
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP):
Material: SAP is a polymer, often sodium polyacrylate.
Other Fibers:
Materials like polyester and polyethylene may also be added to increase the strength, flexibility, and leak resistance of the core.
4. Distribution Layer
Material: Nonwoven fabric (similar to the top sheet) or sometimes a perforated film.
5. Back Sheet (Outer Layer)
Material: Typically made from polyethylene film or breathable films.
6. Elastic Waistbands & Leg Cuffs
Material: Spandex or polyurethane for elasticity, sometimes combined with nonwoven fabrics.
7. Adhesive Tapes/Straps
Material: Typically hot-melt adhesives or hook-and-loop fasteners (like Velcro).
8. Perfumed or Skin Care Additives (Optional)
Material: Aloe vera, Vitamin E, or antibacterial agents.
9. Other Materials (Optional)
Antimicrobial Agents: Sometimes included to reduce the growth of bacteria and prevent odor.
Breathable Film: Modern adult diapers often feature breathable films that allow moisture vapor to escape while still preventing leaks.
Each of these materials plays a crucial role in making the adult diaper functional, comfortable, and effective for managing incontinence.
