Acquisition and distribution layer

04.27.23

An acquisition and distribution layer is a crucial component in hygiene products, such as diapers and other absorbent products. It is a nonwoven wicking layer that is located under the top sheet, and its purpose is to quickly absorb and distribute liquids throughout the product. This helps to prevent leakage and improve the overall performance of the product. Businesses in the nonwovens industry must ensure that their products have adequate acquisition and distribution layer to meet the demands of their customers. Synonyms for acquisition and distribution layer include wicking layer, transport layer, or simply ADL.
