Hot Melt Adhesive Applications in Hygiene Manufacturing
Sanitary Towel Manufacturing
The production of sanitary towels demands precision and performance, especially when it comes to comfort and secure bonding. Hot melt adhesives are essential in assembling multiple layers, ensuringeach product offers leak protection and a soft, flexible fit. With precise application systems, you can:
• Reduce material waste
• Achieve uniform adhesive distribution
• Ensure high integrity on flexible substrates
Diaper Production
Whether for infants or adult incontinence products, diapers must offer maximum absorbency, comfort, and leak prevention. Hot melt adhesive systems enable fast, clean bonding during high-speed production, maintaining the product’s shape and performance. Protek’s hot melt systems are designed to meet these needs, offering:
• Consistent performance at high speeds
• Compatibility with breathable, stretchable films
• Adhesives tailored for core integrity and elastic attachment
Disposable Napkins and Wipes
Disposable napkins and soft tissue products need secure edge sealing and a gentle feel. Hot melt adhesives provide consistent lamination and folding performance, allowing efficient manufacturing of soft, hygienic, and reliable napkins for both personal and commercial use. Our systems offer:
• Clean adhesive lines prevent product contamination
• Heat stability ensures smooth line performance
• Ideal consistency for both dry and moist environments
Operation Cloths and Medical Textiles
In medical-grade non-wovens, adhesive reliability is non-negotiable. Operation cloths, surgical drapes, and similar products require strong yet flexible bonding to maintain barrier integrity, resist fluid penetration, and ensure patient safety during procedures. Protek’s hot melt systems ensure:
• Low odour and non-toxic bonding
• Durable adhesion even after sterilisation
• Minimal edge seepage for a clean finish
From diaper production to operation cloths, our reliable systems support high-speed production lines, ensure clean bonding, and meet the stringent hygiene standards of the sector.
