The Next Generation of Airlaid

SuperCore

What Makes Us Unique

SuperCore

Unique design allows liquids to absorb and disperse rapidly, giving maximum containment.

Conventional Airlaid

A lattice-like barrier of adhesive that prevents the effective absorption of fluids in conventional airlaids.

Can you achieve more by omission?

McAirlaid’s answer, YES with SuperCore. We deliberately left out latex, adhesives and bonding agents. Guess what? SuperCore still absorbs significantly more fluid compared to other airlaids. Bonus, SuperCore is available exclusively at McAirlaid’s.

How airlaid is made

Pure cellulose fibers are placed on top of each other with the help of air streams. They are compacted by means of a patented production process, which works without adhesives or bonding agents.

No latex, no adhesives, and no bonding agents!

This is what makes SuperCore different. The base of all our airlaids consist of 100% virgin (elementary) chlorine free pulp and contains NO recycled materials. We achieve a wide range of absorption without barrier adhesives.

With other airlaids fluid often runs through the lattice like construction. Due to our purely thermo-mechanical fiber bonding process, SuperCore fluid stays where it is suppose to, inside the core.

Benefit of Superabsorbers

Pure cellulose can absorb liquid its own weight many times over but sometimes even greater absorption is required. This is when we upgrade the absorption power of our products with superabsorbers. Superabsorbers can absorb 100 times more than pure cellulose because the liquids are immediately absorbed then turned into gel. This is how we ensure a “dry” surface. Once locked-in, liquid is stored by SuperCore as if in a safe, even when under pressure. This is why McAirlaid’s SuperCore is unique and our core idea.

Spunlaid or Spunbonded

In this process, polymer granules are melted and molten polymer is extruded through spinnerets. The continuous filaments are cooled and deposited on a conveyor belt to form a uniform web. A certain residual temperature can cause filaments to adhere to each other, but this cannot be considered the most important method of joining. The spunbonded process has the advantage of giving the nonwovens a higher strength, but raw material flexibility is limited.

Airlaid

Conventional airlaids consist of cellulose and bonding agents. Processing does not take place as usual for the production of paper in water, but dry in a so-called compressed air procedure. Therefore the term “airlaid”. The properties of airlaid: less fluff, tear proof, extremely absorbent, kind to skin and pleasantly soft.

Wetlaid

Wetlaid is a process whereby fibers are suspended in water to distribute them evenly. The suspension is poured onto a moving sieve that allows the water to go through, leaving a fiber fleece behind, which is dried afterwards to form the fabric.

The SuperCore Difference

Made from 100% Virgin (elementary) chlorine free pulp.
Contains no recycled materials.
Produced without glues, binders or latex.
Absorbs faster than traditional airlaid.
Maximum containment and superior wicking in a thinner pad.
Even distribution and binding of liquids.
SuperCore is our core competence.

Commitment to the Environment & Quality

To ensure the quality of our product, McAirlaid's is proud to hold the multiple international third-party certifications. Our commitment to the environment includes low CO₂ in the production of our products. We also use no fresh water, creating no effluent from production. SuperCore is produced with chlorine and bleach free cellulose. This how we support our commitment to continuous quality improvement and the environment.

PEFC is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization which promotes sustainable forest management through independent third party certification.
