Industry Leaders in Absorbent Hygiene Adhesives
Experts in Absorbent Hygiene
For decades, Bostik has led the way in creating smart adhesives for your absorbent hygiene products. Our innovations have helped you implement evolutionary change within the industry. We’ve accomplished this by:
- Developing the first adhesive for diaper leg elastics
- Pioneering stretch adhesives
- Creating the first high-performance polyolefin elastic attachment adhesive
- Introducing a new test method for stay-in-place performance
- Releasing a line of adhesives centered around sustainable ingredients
Smart adhesives do more for you
Our product line includes solutions for:
- Construction. Holding everything in its place is essential for proper product performance, and helps ensure the wearer’s comfort as well. Make sure you have the right peel strength for each application.
- Elastic Attachment. Adhesives that flex and resist creep and shear enable your articles to stretch when they need to, and help maintain a secure fit.
- Core. Consistent core integrity—supported by the right adhesives and placement—enables proper absorption, re-wet protection, and skin health. In newer cores, adhesives also stabilise the SAP and keep channels in place.
- Pad attachment. Meet or exceed your consumers’ expectations for stay-in-place performance of their period care or incontinence pads, day or night, and with a wide variety of underwear fabrics.
- Hot-melt wetness indicators. A simple way to offer convenience for caregivers and avoid wasted articles, whether on baby diapers or adult incontinence products.
