Application & Compatibility Guidance

Material Position in Production

This SAP powder is intended for use as a superabsorbent component within the absorbent core of disposable hygiene products. It is typically mixed with fluff pulp or used in core-forming processes for baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence pads.

Compatibility & Process Considerations

• Substrate Compatibility: Designed to work with standard absorbent core materials such as tissue, nonwoven, and fluff pulp.
• Absorbency Integration: The high retention capacity and vortex speed support rapid liquid uptake and distribution within the core structure.
• Handling: The powder form and particle size distribution are important for dosing accuracy in your existing core-forming equipment.
• Quality Checkpoints: Monitor bulk density and particle size upon receipt to ensure consistent blending and core formation.

Production Line Considerations

When integrating this SAP into your line, verify that your dosing equipment can handle the specified particle size distribution and bulk density. We recommend conducting a trial run with your production team to optimize the blend ratio and check final product softness and absorption speed.
