1. Hydrophilic Top Sheet

It is a non woven with Hydrophilic treatment, which have strong affinity with water.

It enables to have quick absorption of water from the surface.

It acts like a bridge between the surface and the core.

It provides the soft touching to the skin.

2. Absorption Core

It is the main component of absorbing liquid. It combined by mixing of SAP and virgin wood pulp.

Our long term SAP partners are Sumitomo from Japan and BASF from Germany.

Our long term virgin wood pulp partners are Weyerhaeuser and International Paper from USA.

Double Core enables to concentrate the absorption in the middle of the core.

3 water channels enhance the absorption speed.

You may change the amount and ratio of SAP and wood pulp to alter the absorption performance.

3. Water Proof Layer

The raw material is Polyethylene (PE).

It prevents the leakage from the bottom of the diaper.

It can be divided into 2 classes, ‘breathable’ and ‘non breathable’. The breathable PE enable the air go thru the water proof layer while non breathable PE cannot.

The breathable PE is softer and have a non woven layer outside, it results a cloth touch of the diaper.

The non breathable PE is also soft but the appearance is plastic only.

Both types can be printed with color logo.

Closure system can be divided into 2 types, PP and velcro.

The sticky side tapes stick on the PP frontal tape by adhesive, and the velcro side tapes can stick on the frontal tape by hook and loop combination.

Both types are refastenable for many times, but the performance and appearance of velcro is better than PP.

5. Anti-Leak Leg Cuff

It enables to avoid water passing through.

It acts like a anti-leak barrier and retain the water in the core.

6. Acquisition Diffusion Layer
