Adhesive Application Testing Supports Consistent Performance

Variety may be the spice of life, but when it comes to disposable hygiene products, consumers want consistency. Users of adult incontinence articles and parents of babies in diapers have certain expectations that must be met. Whether secured with tabs or designed as an underwear-like pant, the disposable diapers you produce should look, act, feel, and perform the same every single time no matter which one of your facilities produces it. To help you do this, start by taking a close look at: 

• Your current choice of adhesive
• Your supplier’s additional product offerings, support services, and testing capabilities 
• Your various adhesive application points within the absorbent article
• Your internal production and plant conditions
• And add-on levels via product audits to determine optimum performance 

There are many areas within the diaper that should be tested regularly to ensure consistent performance. This includes the core, construction materials/substrates, elastics, and more. Your organisation may already have the time, resources, equipment, and controlled laboratory space needed for testing these components and the adhesive applications. If not, we do! That’s just another benefit of partnering with Bostik.
