Adhesives Used for Adult Incontinence
- Core. Build the slimmer products your consumers want. Our core adhesives are compatible with thinner substrates and a wide range of materials, allowing you to enjoy greater flexibility in design and your manufacturing processes. Looking at alternative configurations such as channel and pre-compound cores? We have excellent options for forming channels and stabilizing superabsorbent polymer (SAP) to keep performance on target.
- Elastic attachment. Your consumers want to live life to the fullest. Bostik’s adhesives help your products stand up to every action. They are precisely formulated to give you predictable performance with whatever substrates and processes you choose to use. That means they are the only adhesives you need for all your elastic bonding applications.
- Construction. Formulated to create a strong bond even between dissimilar substrates. Adaptable enough to provide the performance you need regardless of line speed or product design. And don’t forget the benefits of less blocking and bleed through, plus reduced odor.
- Pad attachment. Pad fastening can be a concern for users of light urinary incontinence articles. A product that slips cannot absorb when it’s needed most. Moreover, a pad that bunches can be uncomfortable. With Bostik, you can give your consumers the fit and performance they need to go about their day—or night—with confidence.
- Wetness indicator. Enable caregivers—whether at home or in hospital and other institutional settings—to know exactly when a change is needed. This helps reduce wasted time and products, and promotes skin health with a reliable and clear color change. They’re also resistant to temperature swings, humidity, and even harsh shipping and storage environments.
Meeting User Needs More Sustainably
Absorbency and discretion aren’t the only concerns of incontinent adults. Many also want to be as eco-conscious as possible without sacrificing performance. At Bostik, we believe a sustainable adhesive is one that enables the socially responsible goals of our customers like you and consumers.
