Excellent creep resistance at the lowest industry coat weights
Robust sheer strength for high-stress tear, tab and insert attachment applications
Reliable curved elastic attachment performance on curved application for improved article fit
Potential for savings, with up to 25 percent add-on reduction on key industry substrates
Excellent processability across various machine types, allowing for higher productivity and minimized downtime for hygiene manufacturers.
When tested in a third-party lab, Full-Care® 8220 elastic attachment adhesive outperformed four leading competitive elastic adhesive products, delivering zero creep.
Increased Market Demand for Training Pants
The market trends for training pants, adult incontinence products, and alternative product designs with stretch features are driving the increase in elastic usage. The global demand for training pants is expected to grow at 9 percent CAGR, significantly outpacing the growth of open diapers in the next five years, while improved product designs and fit drive elastics usage for the product category is expected grow at 5 percent CAGR 2019-2023.
Elastic features, such as doubled cuffs and stretchable cores, in alternative product designs aim at improving fit and preventing core sagginess after insult. As an all-in-one elastic attachment adhesive, Full-Care® 8220 can be used for these applications.
