Jacob Holm Group, a manufacturer of innovative, high quality, spunlaced nonwoven fabrics, announces a new brand for its lightweight hygiene components called SoftLite. SoftLite fabrics cater to the need for lighter and softer hygiene products with basis weights as low as 15 gsm. In addition to being light, they provide the high performance and soft comfort end-users need.

The key features of SoftLite include excellent stretch and recovery, ultimate softness at required strength, skin sensitivity and the ability to be engineered for optimal fluid management.

“We are continuously designing innovative fabrics for the hygiene market to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. SoftLite is the brand cluster for our developments in this area within the past years. It underlines our commitment to bringing innovation to the Hygiene market – One of our strategic focus segments," says CEO Martin Mikkelsen.

SoftLite is ideal for ultra-light and extremely soft diaper stretch ears, topsheets and backsheets in baby care, feminine care and adult incontinence applications.
