Airlaid Wipes and Personal Care Nonwoven Production
topic
Airlaid wipes production uses wood pulp and viscose fibre blends at 50 to 150 grams per square metre with latex or bicomponent thermal bonding to produce wet wipes substrates with the absorbency, softness, and wet strength combination required for facial, personal care, and household cleaning wipes applications, with product differentiation through fibre blend, weight, softness finish, and embossing pattern that create the tactile experience consumers associate with premium wipes.
Role
Produces the primary substrate for the global wet wipes market where airlaid construction provides superior absorbency and softness compared to spunlace or carded nonwoven alternatives through the three-dimensional isotropic fibre structure, with airlaid wipes dominating the premium facial and baby wipes segments where absorbency, softness, and chemical compatibility with skin care lotion impregnation are the primary performance requirements.
