Integrity, performance, and product types that fit various lifestyle needs are important for establishing consumer confidence and loyalty among disposable hygiene users. To help achieve these critical goals, look for adhesives that offer:
- Reliable bleedthrough performance so products won't stick to each other in the package
- Clean cut-off to ensure the adhesive goes only where it is intended, increasing product quality
- Powerful creep performance for superior fit and leakage prevention, which is especially important for active wearers
- Reliable peel strength, so consumers can feel confident in product integrity and avoid product delamination
- A powerful shear strength for tabs and ear attachments, and high-stress applications like waistbands and cuff attachments, so consumers can feel confident in product integrity and avoid product delamination
- Low application temperature that enables the use of thinner substrates and elastics
Consumer confidence is just one of the benefits that the right adhesive selection can provide. It can also positively impact operational efficiency and better profitability. Understanding all three areas of impact can help product producers make informed decisions regarding adhesive selection for each application in the disposable hygiene market.
