New waterbased acrylic binders for textile coatings introduced
Thursday, 21 April 2011
The new technology has the target to make nonwoven materials and wet wipes stronger, more absorbent, more durable and softer to the touch.
Dow presented recently the "Primal Exonext" technology platform - a series of ultra-low formaldehyde binders that allow companies to make end-use nonwoven products without detectable levels of formaldehyde. This family of products helps customers meet increasingly stringent industry standards, such as the Oeko-tex 100 standard for textile raw materials, intermediates and end products. The first three products from this platform can be used for disposable and re-usable nonwoven applications, but are particularly useful in market applications which might be formaldehyde sensitive - wipes, baby and adult diapers, medical/hospital underpads, medical packaging, drapes, gowns and facemasks. The products from this new technology platform offer good wet strength, rapid fluid penetration (or hydrophobicity), and a soft hand.
