Applıcatıon descrıptıon
Medical textiles are important helpers in healthcare and fulfil a variety of essential functions. For instance, pressure-relieving mattress toppers help prevent bedsores, and surgical gowns are a hygienic and breathable work clothing.
Other daily used items are surgical drapes manufactured from nonwovens which are laminated with special foils.
Adhesives used in membrane lamination have to promote the liquid absorption function of the material compound. Another major factor in this regard is the application method.
Thermoplastic and reactive hot melts for instance are applied in a diamond pattern which allows the material to absorb liquids into the spaces between the adhesive.
Reactive PUR hot melts are particularly suitable for laminating membranes in the manufacturing of incontinence underpads.
Underpads generally consist of a compound of cotton textile with membranes. In this application, PUR hot melts impress with high washing resistance at high temperatures as well as sterilisability.
