Producing a nonwoven that meets all your customers' needs can be challenging

Manufacturers of baby diapers are looking for nonwovens that are particularly soft and adapt well to the baby's body shape. As a nonwovens producer, however, you have only ever been able to satisfy one of these properties, and thus have not been able to make your customers 100 percent happy. With Reicofil XHL technology, you can now produce nonwovens that combine exceptional softness and super drapability in one material. This will make you a sought-after and successful premium supplier on the market, making customers and babies happy.

RF5 XHL

The Reicofil Technology Behind Extra High Loft Nonwovens

All you need to produce super-soft, drapable nonwovens is the proven Reicofil Bico spunbond process, which combines two polypropylene raw materials in one fiber. For Extra High Loft (XHL), we have developed a special recipe which - run as an eccentric core-sheath fiber - ensures optimum crimp with reduced fiber diameter.

Crimped Fibers for High Volume and Softness

With Reicofil RF5 Bico technology, you produce a nonwoven made of crimped fibers. Compared to other commercially available spunbond nonwovens without crimped fibers, Extra High Loft technology enables 30 percent thicker material. At the same time, softness parameters such as drape and feel improve compared to processes that bond nonwovens using hot air.

Finest Fiber Diameters for High Material Efficiency

RF5 technology also reduces fiber size to nearly one denier in XHL mode, thus lowering raw material consumption.

Mono PP Material for Inline Recyclability

XHL enables you to process polypropylene raw materials only, which are optimally suited for inline recycling processes. In this way, you reduce production costs and save resources.

Energy Efficient Bonding

Because bonding does not require hot air, the process saves energy costs. In combination with the low basis weight, XHL reduces the carbon footprint of your nonwoven by up to 30 percent compared to hot-air bonded carded nonwovens.
