Bostik, a manufacturer of pad attachment adhesives, launches StayX™ adhesive technology for feminine hygiene market. StayX™ delivers best stay-in-place performance, as verified by Staybility™, a patent-pending test designed by Bostik, to fill a gap in the typical product development testing process.
Stable Peel Performance Across Temperatures
Until now, initial peel tests have been used industry-wide to predict the stay-in-place performance of pads. But initial peel tests do not simulate the twists, turns, and movements of daily life for the women of the world. The new Staybility™ test more accurately simulates a woman’s daily motion and has allowed Bostik to get a better hold on stay-in-place data.
“
Improving the testing process enabled us to create a better adhesive,” said Diane Toonen, Global Strategic Marketing Director for Bostik’s Nonwovens Business Unit. “
From our extensive laboratory testing, we can see that our StayX™ Adhesive Technology will provide a noticeably different performance in terms of stay-in-place.”
Pads with StayX™ remove cleanly from fabrics and have a stable peel performance across temperatures. The adhesive performance is not affected by the presence of perfume. Most notable for consumer satisfaction, pads with StayX™ Adhesive Technology stay in place during typical movements of life, ensuring a comfortable and reliable experience for consumers.
With a consistent performance across a variety of backsheet materials, StayX™ improve consumer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
