UK-based Technical Absorbents, part of the Bluestar Fibres Company Limited, will be exhibiting its Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF®) technology at CIHPEC next month.

CIHPEC 2011 is the 18th China International Tissue/Disposable Hygiene Products Exhibition and Conference organised by the China National Household Paper Industry Association (CNHPIA) and will be held at the Qingdao International Convention Center, Shangdong, China on 11th to 13th May 2011. With unique features of sizable exhibit space, industry expertise, top qualified visitors and practical high level seminars, CIHPEC 2011 appeals to professionals from the hygiene industry in China and across Asia.

Visitors to the Technical Absorbents stand number 8609, can discuss opportunities on how to utilise SAF® technology within various markets and applications, which today include food packaging, diagnostic packaging, hygiene products, dental, medical applications such as wound care, performance apparel, coolant technology, cable yarns and tapes, geo/agro-textiles and filtration.

SAF® is produced in a range of fibre absorbency grades, lengths and dtex, and also in filament and polymer solution form. As a fibrous superabsorbent, it can be converted via the traditional nonwoven, textile and yarn manufacturing routes, offering ease of handling and delivers superior final fabric distribution profiles and integrity, making it the super absorbent of choice for many customers.

Mr Dave Hill, Business Development Manager, said:
“Our products are being used in a growing number of applications and sectors. We are delighted to be back again at CIHPEC as it gives us an excellent opportunity to meet with organisations and individuals who are looking for an advanced super absorbent technology for their product.”

•Technical Absorbents is part of the Bluestar Fibres Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National BlueStar (Group) Company Limited, who are part of the ChemChina Group.

•SAF® is a cross-linked polymer (three different monomers) of acrylic acid (AA) methylacrylate (MA) and a small quantity of a special acrylate/methacrylate monomer (SAMM). The reaction between the acid groups in acrylic acid and the hydroxyl groups in hydroxpropylmethacrylate result in ester groups. These are formed as a result of cross-links between polymer chains.

•SAF® is white, odourless and has the appearance and improved handling characteristics of a textile fibre, while offering the possibility of being used to produce a wide range of soft handle fabrics. Along with the advantages of easy handling, it also possesses enhanced containment ability and increased compatibility with different processing techniques and machinery.

•SAF® is an extremely effective and versatile super absorbent technology, and the company behind the product – Technical Absorbents – is at the forefront of the industry.

•Applications for the super absorbent technology include food packaging, hygiene, medical and dental goods. SAF® is regulated by the United States of America Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a fluid absorbent in food contact materials.
