Highly absorbent airlaid nonwovens: Food Pads & packaging
Superabsorbents for Food Pads & Packaging
These popular nonwoven fabrics are known for being soft and absorbent due to their cellulosic content. All of our Airlaid Nonwovens also contain our Super Absorbent Fibres (SAF™), which are FDA and EFSA listed for use as an absorbent in food packaging, and so ideal for use as soaker pads. They are also ideal as pallet liners for large scale spill capture and moisture/condensation management during food transportation/distribution.
The airlaid manufacturing process involves fibres being randomly dispersed by a fast-moving air stream. They are then condensed onto a moving screen and bonded to create the finished fabric. Additional laminate layers can be added to one or both sides if required to provide extra strength or functionality.
We can achieve Airlaid nonwovens with up to 60% SAF™ and have a catalogue of fabrics readily available to sample – you can browse these below.
Bespoke fabrics can also be manufactured if required.
So, what is SAF™?
SAF™ is a highly technical, soft, staple fibre, that absorbs significant amounts quickly. In fact, it can take in up to two
hundred times its own weight in water, even under load!! It also provides excellent levels of containment and retention, which can be hugely beneficial in a wide range of applications. We blend SAF™ with a wide range of other fibre types, to produce high performing superabsorbent fabrics and yarns that are all Powered by SAFology™.
