As it enters the new decade, the development and promotion of its fabric portfolio continues to be the focus of Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF\u2122) manufacturer Technical Absorbents Limited (TAL). At the end of March, the UK-based company will take its latest products \u2013 including a new range of superabsorbent fabrics that provide a higher gel strength when wetted \u2013 to the INDEX Nonwovens Exhibition in Geneva.<\/p>\n
High Gel Strength (HGS) SAF\u2122 fabrics are a new range from Technical Absorbents that incorporate more robust HGS SAF\u2122 fibres. The fibres have been developed to allow the design and manufacture of materials that offer greater integrity and robustness in more demanding absorbent applications.<\/p>\n
\u201cHGS SAF\u2122 fabrics can only be brought from Technical Absorbents \u2013 it does not sell the HGS SAF\u2122 fibres commercially,\u201d explains Product Development Director Dr Mark Paterson.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fibres are manufactured in-house and can be integrated into its needlefelt and thermo-carded fabrics for added durability. They provide decreased levels of absorbency compared to standard SAF\u2122 fibres but still high absorbency compared to other available technologies. Resulting fabrics will also absorb less but in certain applications this can be beneficial, e.g. in some washable applications the fabrics durability is more important that its ability to absorb large volumes of liquid.\u201d<\/p>\n
A number of HGS SAF\u2122 nonwovens have already been developed to aid the sampling process for prospective customers. Technical Absorbents can then manufacture bespoke fabrics containing HGS fibres to meet customers\u2019 specific requirements.<\/p>\n
