Legcuff SMMS non woven fabric is a composite nonwoven material engineered for reliable performance in disposable hygiene products. It combines spunbond and meltblown layers to deliver a balance of softness, strength, and water resistance, making it a dependable choice for leg cuff applications in baby diapers, sanitary napkins, and adult incontinence products.

Material Buying Guide

This SMMS (Spunbond + Meltblown + Meltblown + Spunbond) composite is an extension of standard SMS nonwovens, offering enhanced barrier properties for demanding hygiene applications. The material is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers seeking a consistent, high-performance component for leg cuff construction.

Key Specifications at a Glance

• Material Type: Composite SMMS nonwoven (Polypropylene based).
• Available Basis Weight Range: 10-100 gsm (typical leg cuff application: 10-18 gsm).
• Available Width: 90mm - 3200mm (slit to specification).
• Key Properties: Waterproof, soft hand-feel, high tensile strength.
• Color Options: White, blue, green.

Functional Benefits for Production

• Leakage Prevention: The meltblown core provides effective hydrostatic pressure resistance, helping to prevent liquid strike-through.
• Softness & Comfort: The outer spunbond layers offer a gentle, cloth-like texture suitable for direct skin contact.
• Process Reliability: Consistent basis weight and tension characteristics support smooth running on high-speed converting lines.
• Sterile Quality Base: Polypropylene is a key component contributing to the material's clean, inert nature.

Sampling & Packing

For evaluation, sample rolls can be provided to assess the material's performance on your specific production line. Standard packing is in rolls with protective wrapping. Loading quantity is approximately 5 tons per 20GP container and 11-12 tons per 40HQ container.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between SMS and SMMS?
A: SMMS adds an extra meltblown layer compared to SMS. This additional layer enhances barrier properties and overall strength, making it particularly suitable for leg cuff applications where leakage prevention is critical.

Q: Can the material be colored?
A: Yes, while white is standard, blue and green options are available to meet specific product branding or differentiation needs.

Application & Compatibility

This SMMS fabric is specifically positioned for use as a leg cuff material in the production of disposable hygiene products. Its structure is optimized for this function, providing a secure yet comfortable fit.

Compatible Product Types

• Baby Diapers
• Sanitary Napkins
• Adult Incontinence Products

Production Line Considerations

The material is supplied in roll form with a standard core inside diameter of 76±1 mm and a typical roll slit width of 115±2 mm, though widths can be customized. It is designed to perform consistently on standard converting equipment used for hygiene product assembly.

Quality Checkpoints

Incoming quality control typically involves verifying basis weight, tensile strength (MD/CD), and hydrostatic pressure to ensure the material meets the required specification for your application. The roll edge appearance should be neat and clean to prevent web breakage.

Quality Evidence & Traceability

WEIHONGLAI supports manufacturers with quality assurance processes designed to provide confidence in raw material consistency. Each production lot can be accompanied by a quality report that includes test results for key parameters.

Example of Supplied Test Data

The table below illustrates the type of data typically measured and reported, demonstrating the material's performance against defined specifications.

Packing & Storage

Rolls are packed to protect against damage and contamination during transit. For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Sample or Trial Guidance

We recommend a production-scale trial to fully evaluate the material's performance on your equipment. Our team can provide guidance on trial parameters and material handling.

Potential Risks & Mitigation

As with all nonwoven materials, variations in roll tension or storage conditions can affect performance. Adhering to recommended handling and storage procedures minimizes these risks. Each lot is traceable through production records.
