Additional components for open incontinence briefs

An open brief closure tape is only one part of a closure system, to which other components also contribute. The performance of a closure tape is dependent on the quality of the other components. As an example, the choice of landing zone substrate will have significant impact on the tape’s performance. High quality, compatible components are a necessity to ensure reliability and comfort. Avery Dennison offers a wide range of options.

The market includes supermarkets, pharmacies and healthcare providers that sell both branded and private label incontinence products, hospital/institutional employees (e.g. nurses, incontinence specialists and end users (adults with incontinence and their caretakers) as well as professionals in R&D and procurement staff of brief manufacturers.

Avery Dennison diaper component offerings include frontal film, frontal tape and nonwoven loop landing zone substrates, hooks and elastic composite material. A frontal film is a landing zone for adhesive-based closure systems, consisting of a release coated film that allows re-opening of the closure tape. Available as a tape for easy conversion, or as a film for manufacturers with the capability to handle inline gluing.

A landing zone for mechanical closure (hook-and-loop) systems are made from soft, nonwoven material. It does not include an adhesive, hence will need to be inline glued. It is either available as an open nonwoven or with a laminated backing film. High quality hooks for mechanical closure systems are available either pre-glued or without glue.
