D-TEX Air laid paper is a textile like material categorized as a nonwoven fabric made from fluff pulp.
Compared with normal wet-laid paper and tissue, air-laid paper is very bulky, porous and soft. It has good water absorption properties and is much stronger compared with normal tissue.
Composition: cellulose, latex binder
Basic weight: 45gsm-130gsm
Diameter: 78cm or 115cm (good to loading)
Applications: Wet wipes, wipes, cartering, hygienic disposables
The raw material is long fibered softwood fluff pulp in roll form. Important parameters for dry defibration are shredding energy and knot content. Normally an air-laid paper consists of about 85% fibre. A binder must be applied as a spray or foam. Alternatively, additional fibres or powders can be added to the pulp which can then be activated and cured by heat.
