Sanitary Napkin Topsheet Materials
Recommended Material / Structure
Through-air nonwoven, hydrophilic spunbond nonwoven, perforated film/nonwoven composite topsheet, and cottony-soft composite topsheet; options can be divided into dry-feel and cottony-soft types.
Requirements
Material Performance Requirements
Skin-friendly, fast absorption, low rewet, anti-pilling, and low irritation. Dry-feel types emphasize one-way liquid transfer; cottony-soft types emphasize softness and close skin comfort.
Cost Control Requirements
Basic products use hydrophilic spunbond; mid/high-end products use through-air or composite topsheets; cost differentiation can be controlled through embossing, hole pattern, and basis weight.
Environmental & Biodegradability Requirements
Options include natural-fiber blends, biodegradable PLA fiber, and fluorine-free hydrophilic finishing; reduce risks from dyes and fluorescent whitening agents.
Batch Delivery Requirements
Feminine hygiene products require high continuity: stable roll diameter, low number of joints, uniform hydrophilicity, and stable web tension.
Custom Development Requirements
Customizable surface texture, hole pattern, hydrophilic zones, color, fragrance carrier, antibacterial/deodorizing finish, cottony-soft hand feel, and ultra-thin design.
Overseas Export & Certification Requirements
For export, consider skin-contact safety, chemical substance limits, REACH, OEKO-TEX, and customer internal testing. Antibacterial claims must comply with target-market regulations.
Solution Advantages
Tactile feel and liquid transfer can significantly improve end-user experience; flexible material choices support multiple tiers from economy to premium.
Technical Parameters & Selection Recommendations
Recommended basis weight: 12–28 gsm; width: 80–240 mm or customized to roll-goods production lines. Key tests: absorption speed, rewet, rubbing/pilling, pH, extractables, and softness.
