THERMAL BONDED SUPER ABSORBENT FOR MEDICAL PRODUCTS

Browse our range of Thermally Bonded Superabsorbent Fabrics below. These highly absorbent fabrics – all containing our Super Absorbent Fibres (SAF™) – are cost-effective, thin absorbent nonwoven materials that still provide high levels of absorbency and retention – even under load. This makes them ideal for use in medical dressings that require a thin, discreet absorbent layer.  

Our thermally bonded absorbent materials can also be used in a wide range of other applications that require a lightweight absorbent solution – capable of absorbing many times its own weight in liquid and locking it away.

All of our Thermal Bonded Nonwovens are lightweight, extremely flexible, and can be manufactured with a number of layers to enhance performance. 

These nonwoven webs can be bonded by hot air to create loftier fabrics with lower density and greater thickness, or can be passed through hot rollers or ovens to deliver a stronger, thinner structure.

We can achieve thermally bonded materials between 20-80gsm and they are typically a blend of SAF™ and other fibres.

Our  Thermal Bonded Nonwovens are supplied direct by us or one of our trusted global tolling partners.  We have a catalogue of fabrics readily available to sample, and can develop bespoke thermally bonded materials if required. 

You can find more about how Thermal Bonded Nonwovens are made on the EDANA website.
