H.B. Fuller launches adhesive for disposable innerwear

Conforma delivers a better, more comfortable fit, which performs without tightness, conforming to individuals of all shapes and sizes. It helps create disposable undergarments that stretch with ease, supporting ease of movement for all ages.

“Understanding the market trends driving our customers' current and future needs inspires us to develop high performance adhesives. Conforma adhesive is an example of how H.B. Fuller is driving innovation for the hygiene market in key application areas like stretch. Conformable fabric created from Conforma adhesive becomes an attractive choice, as disposable articles evolve into the soft, stretchable, truly comfortable, engineered products of the future,” comments Nathan Weaver, vice president, hygiene, H.B. Fuller.

Conforma creates a conformable fabric, which is a soft, ultrathin and breathable alternative to the film-based laminate or elastic stranded panel. It also helps create disposable undergarments that look and feel like cotton innerwear.

Conforma opens up new design possibilities by removing the constraints of the traditional stretch engines, creating an opportunity for an all-over stretchable product. Also, it removes the prime cause of downtime in the production of stretchable material reliant on elastic strands and reduces the cost of waste from elastic strand breakage. (NA)
