SUOMINEN INTRODUCES FIBRELLA™ LITE SPUNLACE FOR HYGIENE MARKETS
Suominen, a leading global supplier of nonwovens, today announces the launch of its new lightweight product FIBRELLA™ Lite Spunlace to its nonwoven offering, particularly targeted to the global hygiene market. Fibrella™ Lite nonwovens meet the exacting requirements for a light yet stretchable material with strength and elongation properties required in laminates for absorbent hygiene products in baby care and adult incontinence applications. Available in 25 gsm and 28 gsm configurations, Fibrella™ Lite offer versatility for combination of materials using hot-melt, extrusion, heat and ultrasonic lamination. Its cloth-like, extremely soft feel, the breathability and skin-friendliness of Fibrella™ Lite make it an ideal element in laminates for hygiene products.
Speaking at the launch of Fibrella™ Lite, Lynda Kelly, SVP Care Business Area, said “Suominen’s expansion into the hygiene business is one of the key elements of our growth strategy. Fibrella™ Lite is a perfect example of innovative application of technology to match traditionally incompatible nonwoven features like softness, strength and light weight together in one material.”
“Fibrella™ Lite is a very important addition to our portfolio of hygiene products. Applicability for various lamination processes creates a broad range of end products making this new launch very attractive and exciting” concludes Marjo Kuisma, Product Manager for Hygiene market.
