How Megatrends Impact the Making of Hygienic Nonwovens
The talk identifies main megatrends influencing hygienic nonwoven products, production processes and machinery. Almost all product categories -- baby diapers, FemCare and incontinence products -- (will) undergo changes. Producers break ground for unconventional raw materials and innovative technologies to address the diversifying markets.
The second part of the presentation discusses the impact on machinery for manufacturing carded hygienic nonwovens. Crucial components for achieving the required functionality and matching the quality standards will be discussed.
