As women seek a more diverse range of products that they can not only rely on, but that suit their lifestyle choices, the feminine hygiene sector has begun to witness a move away from the dependence on single-use disposables.<\/p>\n

Finding a product that feels and fits like underwear \u2013 yet still offers the performance and reliability of the more common disposable options \u2013 is the aspiration of many. In addition, a growing sensitivity by both consumers and manufacturers to protect the environment through the development \u2013 and use \u2013 of more sustainable products, it is no surprise that interest in washable solutions \u2013 pads and pants \u2013 has soared.<\/p>\n

New entrants and established players alike are active in this growing market area with many looking for alternative fabric technologies to enhance absorbency and retention performance within their product range. At Technical Absorbents, we have engineered a portfolio of discreet, high performing fabrics \u2013 containing our Super Absorbent Fibre (SAFTM<\/sup>) \u2013 that are both superabsorbent and capable of being washed and dried multiple times. This makes them perfect as the absorbent core in reusable products.<\/p>\n

SAFTM<\/sup> is superior in its ability to absorb and immobilise body fluids when compared with conventional fibres. Its use has previously been limited to within single-use disposable products \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n

To balance the various performance parameters of the finished product, our fabrics are typically a SAFTM<\/sup> and other synthetic fibres. Our fabric range starts with a discrete thickness of 1.5mm at 190gsm, with options for anti-microbial functionality and\/or additional laminates to one or both sides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

External testing has shown that products containing a SAFTM washable fabric still retain a high level of functionality after undergoing a year\u2019s worth of weekly wash\/dry cycles \u2013 even when using an elevated wash temperature of up to 60\u00b0C. However, to help preserve energy and water \u2013 and reduce emissions \u2013 it is recommended that products containing our fabrics are washed using reduced temperatures or even by hand.<\/p>\n

The fabrics are designed to be used as the core layer, allowing the customer to tailor the outer layers to suit their end product requirements. Technical Absorbents doesn\u2019t supply these but can assist customers along their development journey. The fabric technology can also be used in other product applications including incontinence, sweat management, cooling, nursing and maternity.<\/p>\n
