Bostik Wetness Indicators Support Convenience, Efficiency, and Cost Savings
Bostik Wetness Indicators for Consumer Satisfaction
HMWI Benefits Your Consumers Want
Parents and caregivers (including those in institutional settings) appreciate wetness indicators because they:
- Make it easy to spot when a change is needed
- Are more sanitary than reaching in to check the diaper
- Promote skin health by showing when an insult is present
- Indicate how much the diaper has already absorbed
- Help avoid the product becoming over-full and causing leaks and skin damage
- Reduce waste from discarding diapers too soon, when the diaper is barely wet
- Save embarrassment for institutionalized wearers who may be unable to sense or to convey when a change is needed
But article manufacturers like you need to go beyond simply asking why consumers seek indicators. To make your products truly stand out, consider what shoppers are actually looking for in a wetness indicator.
The HMWI Performance They Prefer
Not all indicators are created equal. To effectively meet current consumer expectations, they must perform quickly, easily, and consistently. We recommend they possess—at a minimum—these specific attributes:
- Fast and clear color change after insult. It should be easily visible, even in dim light, such as when the wearer is sleeping.
- Resistance to humidity. This helps prevent premature or partial indications. These can otherwise occur during processing and storage, or even in use before insult.
- Reliable processability. HMWI should process cleanly on the production lines and apply neatly to the substrate.
- Thermal stability. The indicator must function even if the hot-melt spends several days in production line melt tanks. This is not uncommon, as often very little is used per diaper.
Bostik hot-melt wetness indicators for baby diapers and adult incontinence products meet all these key consumer needs … but they also address yours.
