Evonik Launches New Superabsorbent

04.04.17

FAVORmax designed for use in ultrathin diapers

Evonik will launch a new generation of superabsorbents this week at INDEX.

With FAVORmax, Evonik has developed its next generation of superabsorbents with unique properties to make baby diapers and incontinence products even more absorbent and reliable. With the new superabsorbents from Evonik, hygiene product manufacturers can further improve the performance of their products to meet even better the requirements of diverse customer groups.

Just a few grams of the new FAVORmax high-performance superabsorbent materials ensure fast absorption of large amounts of fluids and lasting dryness. This is made possible through a finely balanced combination of the superabsorbents’ key performance parameters, which are adapted to the specific design of the absorbent core. As a result of the optimal interaction with other components of the hygiene product, its performance is improved even more.
 
FAVORmax 1000 has been designed for use in ultra-thin diapers. Thanks to the unique profile of the perfectly aligned parameters, the new superabsorbent has improved the fluid dynamics within the absorbent core and has reduced the risk of leakage. This is achieved through greater fluid retention while retaining constant absorption under pressure, combined with permeability and higher absorption speed.
 
For use in absorbent cores with a high percentage of fluff pulp, the superabsorbents of the FAVORmax 2000 product family feature high absorption capacity even when under pressure, high retention and absorption speed. When used in incontinence products, the material ensures that large quantities of fluids are absorbed quickly and securely.
