The characteristics of hot air nonwoven topsheet and ADL nonwoven of sanitary products

The topsheet and diversion layer are key to sanitary products’ comfort and performance. The top layer directly contacts skin, quickly conducting fluids inward without absorbing them, requiring high permeability to keep skin dry. The ADL diversion nonwoven layer lies between the top layer and absorbent core, accelerating liquid diffusion, guiding fluid into the core, and reducing rewet for better dryness.

Most hygiene products use soft hot-air nonwovens for these layers, made from ES bicomponent fibers (PP/PE, PET/PE) via carding and thermal bonding. ES fibers have core-sheath or symmetric structures; thermal bonding melts low-melting components to form point bonds, creating a stable 3D structure with high resilience, softness, and excellent liquid transport. This material absorbs over 10 times its weight in liquid. Thermal-bonded nonwovens are now widely used in high-end sanitary napkins and diapers.
