The various layers within a sanitary towel’s construction must be maintained in position and there must not be bunching within the layers. Henkel’s TECHNOMELT® sanitary towel construction adhesives are applied in a very efficient and sustainable way. Our menstrual hygiene materials provide a good adhesion ratio and reduce production flaws caused by material movement. Our adhesives are designed for top- and backsheet construction, top and bottom tissue, acquisition distribution layers and air laid/SAP paper.
Henkel developed adhesives specifically for positioning that keep sanitary pads where they are supposed to stay. Our TECHNOMELT® adhesives are used on sanitary towel wings (side flaps) and the backsheet. These advanced sanitary towel materials for positioning are specially designed for feminine care products to support both comfort and security for the consumer. TECHNOMELT® products provide high tack and good breathability to ensure a secure fit for wing application and release paper application.
Critical to the construction of sanitary towels is a stable and absorptive core. This keeps the integrity of the product and allows it to stay securely in place. Henkel’s TECHNOMELT® core adhesives are used to stabilise the towel core. They provide excellent wet strength, improved fluid handling and guaranteed discretion. Our sanitary towel materials provide the core efficiency and integrity needed for an active lifestyle.
