Within the nonwoven industry, hot melt adhesives are used extensively
for the production of a variety of products such as baby diapers, feminine
care products and medical goods.
In general, the formulation of hot melt adhesives for
the nonwoven industry requires products with superior technical performance
as well as regulatory compliance. Antioxidants will provide
the high stability in molten stage needed for these industrial processes
that are highly sensitive to any rheoligical change, which may result in loss of
production efficiency. High adhesion properties are also required to bond
difficult substrates such as polypropylene or to maintain elastics elongation.
