TotalCore airlaid composites
A ‘Total’ package for flexibility, softness and superior absorbency.
Ultra-thin and ultra-soft Airlaid Composites
TotalCore airlaid composites are made from all-natural cellulose fibers and are hydrogen bonded without latex or resin binders. The airlaid can be customized with a variety of substrates, superabsorbent polymers and cellulose fibers to meet specific absorbency and performance needs. They are soft, flexible and provide excellent liquid distribution for superior absorbency. TotalCore airlaids are of exceptional quality, produced on state of the art equipment and are available as master rolls, ‘pancake’ reels or festooned bales.
Features & Benefits

- Excellent liquid distribution properties for superior absorbency
- Hydrogen bonded, no latex or resin binders
- Flexible & lightweight for reduced package sizes and logistics costs
- Lightweight, less bulky
- Customizable structure to meet specific performance requirements
- Rapid absorption (actual speed of absorbency varies by application and product design)
- Consistent finished product
- Easy-to-use commercial forms – Master rolls, ‘pancake’ reels or festooned bales

About our Airlaids
TotalCore Airlaid Applications
TotalCore Airlaid Composites for Feminine Hygiene
TotalCore airlaid composites for feminine hygiene are characterized by their ultra-thin profile, softness, and superior flexibility, making them an ideal choice for use in feminine protection and personal care products.
Features & Benefits
- High absorbency
- Excellent fluid retention and moisture control
- Lightweight, Ultra-thin design
- Excellent fluid distribution for superior absorbency
- Formulated with or without superabsorbent polymer
TotalCore Airlaid Composites for Food Packaging
TotalCore airlaid composites for food packaging are made with FDA approved food grade superabsorbent polymers and all natural cellulose fibers, making them a safe choice for use with poultry, seafood, meat, and fruit. Used as the absorbent core, TotalCore airlaid composites lock fluid into a solid gel, reducing excess meat juice, odors and bacteria.
Features & Benefits
- Clean looking packages are more appealing
- Absorbing surplus meat juices reduces microbes and increases shelf life
- Customized absorbencies to hit targeted fluid control
- Reduces growth of microbes
TotalCore Airlaid Composites for Medical Applications
TotalCore airlaid composites for medical applications are ultra-thin while being extremely absorbent, therefore, requiring less absorbent media. TotalCore airlaids are ideal as the absorbent core in hospital, surgery pads, and in body/cadaver bags Ultra-thin designs with superior absorbent properties are an ideal solution for reducing logistics costs and containing infectious substances.
Features & Benefits
- Ultra-thin designs with high absorbent properties
- Cost-effective solutions for shipping
- Biohazard bags
- Pneumatic tube transport
- Medical packaging kits
- Infectious substance shipping
- Body / cadaver bags
TotalCore Airlaid Composites for Wound Care
TotalCore airlaid composites for wound care utilize customized superabsorbent polymers that absorb many times their weight in exudate and lock it in with high retention capacity. Because liquids are locked by hydrogen bonding, they will not be released even under relatively high pressure. These qualities make TotalCore superabsorbent wound care airlaids ideal for use in wound dressings and other disposable medical devices.
Features & Benefits
- Ultra-thin/Ultra-soft designs
- Drapable and Conformable
- Superabsorbent polymers customized to application for enhanced performance
- Excellent liquid distribution for superior absorbent capacity
- Hydrogen bonded – no chemical binders or adhesives
