Superabsorbent applications
We work with companies developing solutions for these and a wide range of other absorbent applications – view some of our case studies
Selecting a washable or disposable SAF™ Superabsorbent Fabric for use in period/sanitary and incontinence products, provides a discrete solution that is soft, conformable and highly absorbent.
SAF™ Absorbent Nonwoven Fabrics are already used widely within the medical market, predominantly as the absorbent layer in highly absorbent wound care dressings.
SAF™ Fibre is a key component in a wide range of superabsorbent fabrics, which are used in the production of food pads for retail packaging.
STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING
Our superabsorbent fabrics are used in the construction industry for structural waterproofing applications. Their self-healing properties give a cost-effective extra layer of protection against below grade water entry.
Using a SAF™ Spun Yarn or SAF™ Thermobond Fabrics can help protect power or telecommunication cables by rapidly absorbing any incoming water at the point of damage.
Water removal from oils and fuels is essential in certain industrial, hydraulic and automotive situations to reduce degradation, downtime and system failure. SAF™ Airlaid and Needlpunch Fabrics can be used as a Filter Media Fabric in such cases.
