As Micro Nonwoven, we combine revolutionary innovations in the hygiene sector with advanced production technologies; we respond to the global standard expectations of baby diaper, sanitary pad, adult diaper, and bed protector manufacturers with superior performance.
Nonwoven fabrics, which form the basis of hygiene products, are critical components that come into direct contact with human skin. From the topsheet layer to the backsheet layer that provides liquid impermeability, and from the core wrap that holds the absorbent core to the leg barriers, all layers require specialized technical qualities. Our OekoTex certified PP Spunbond fabrics professionally meet these specific requirements with superior softness, flawless surface uniformity, and high absorption capacity.
Each hygienic product consists of multi-layered nonwoven structures with unique functions.
The hygiene sector is the leader in global nonwoven consumption. In diaper production, more than 5 different nonwoven layers are integrated into a single product; each of these has its own unique weight, texture, liquid permeability, and mechanical strength values.
Soft-textured fabrics treated with hydrophilic processes in the topsheet layer ensure that liquid is rapidly transmitted to the absorbent core. In the backsheet layer, hydrophobic fabrics offer complete protection by preventing liquid leakage. Leg cuff barriers stand out with their high elasticity and liquid retention capability. Fabrics preferred as core wrap allow for liquid transfer while maintaining the form of the absorbent core. We carry out production with a wide range of weights, applications, and width options for all these layers.
With our modern laboratory facilities and inline camera inspection systems, we ensure the strict quality standards demanded by the hygiene sector in every production batch with global quality assurance.
Areas of Use
Baby diapers (topsheet, backsheet, leg cuff, core wrap, dusting layer), feminine sanitary pads, adult incontinence products, bed protector sheets, underpads, fluff pulp carrier layers.
Technical Specifications
Width: 240–320 cm | Basis weight: 9–50 gsm (hygiene applications) | 100% PP Spunbond SS | Applications: Hydrophilic, hydrophobic, soft touch, antibacterial | Certificates: OekoTex Standard 100, REACH | Core diameter: 76–152 mm | 50+ color options
The topsheet is the top surface of the hygiene product that touches the skin; it is hydrophilically treated to quickly transfer liquid to the absorbent core and provide a dry feeling on the surface. The backsheet is the bottom surface of the product; it is a barrier layer with hydrophobic properties that prevents liquid from leaking out. The two layers complement each other to form the core function of the hygiene product.
The basis weights used in baby diaper components vary according to the layer. Ranges of 10–15 gsm for the topsheet, 12–20 gsm for the backsheet, 15–22 gsm for the leg cuff barrier, and 10–16 gsm for the core wrap are generally preferred. Basis weight optimization can be performed with our technical team according to specific project requirements.
A soft touch is achieved through a combination of fine denier filament usage, special calender pattern selection, and finishing applications. Our fabrics, which offer high opacity and a silky feel even at low basis weights, meet the requirements of premium-class hygiene products. Our OekoTex certificate guarantees the skin safety of these fabrics.
