Introduction:
Diapers are one of the essential products for modern parenting, providing babies with a comfortable and dry experience. However, to make a high-quality diaper, a variety of finely selected materials are needed. This article will introduce the key materials required for making diapers, including surface non-woven fabrics, acquisition layer, leg cuff, fluff core, backsheet film, elastic waistband, front tape, side tape, structure hot melt glue.
Surface Non-woven Fabric
The surface non-woven fabric is the outer layer of the diaper, which is mainly used to contact the baby’s skin and has the characteristics of breathability, softness and comfort. Common surface non-woven fabrics include spunbond non-woven fabrics, perforated non-woven fabrics, hot air-through non-woven fabrics and embossed 3D non-woven fabrics.
Acquisition Layer
The diversion layer is used to quickly absorb urine and disperse it throughout the diaper to keep the baby’s skin dry. Common diversion layer materials include hot air through non-woven fabrics and spunbond non-woven fabrics.
Leg Cuff
The leg cuff is a key part of the diaper, used to prevent urine leakage. It is usually composed of water-repellent non-woven fabric and elastic waistban, providing a comfortable fit and reliable protection.
Fluff Core
The core is the absorbent layer of the diaper, which is used to absorb urine and prevent backflow. It is composed of materials such as wood pulp, SAP (super absorbent polymer) and tissue paper to ensure that the baby stays dry for a long time.
Backsheet Film
The backsheet film is the bottom layer of the diaper and plays a leak-proof role. Common backsheet film materials are PE film and compounded film, which are waterproof and effectively prevent urine penetration.
Elastic Waistband
The elastic waistband in diapers is usually used for waist circumference and leg openings, providing good fit and leak-proof effect.
Front Tape
The front tape is located at the front of the diaper and is used to adjust the waist size and fix the diaper. Common front tape materials include PP frontal tape, Mechanical loop, Brushed loop, non woven loop
Side Tape
The side tapes are used to adjust the leg circumference of the diaper. Common materials include PP side tape and velcro side tapes / hook.
Elastic Waistband
The elastic waistband of diapers provides a comfortable fit and maintains the stability of diapers. It is often made of elastic non-woven fabrics.
Structural Hot Melt Glue
Structural adhesive plays a role in fixing and bonding different parts in the production process of diapers. Commonly used structural adhesives include rubber adhesive, urine-disclosing adhesive and composite adhesive.
