A strong and secure seal between the top sheet and back sheet is critical for proper diaper construction. TECHNOMELT® DM adhesives work with the substrate coatings and enhancements to provide excellent bond strength at low coating weights.
To stabilize the diaper core, TECHNOMELT® adhesives are used, offering secure use for varying fluff/SAP ratios while increasing absorbency. This improves the length of wear and discretion for active adults.
The superior shear strength of TECHNOMELT DM is critical to fastening components in tab attachment applications to assure they stay secure with adult movement.
The shear strength of TECHNOMELT® DM adhesives is critical for strand attachment, keeping the fit around the wearer’s legs and prevent leakage. Better adhesion of the elastic strands increases comfort for the wearer.
