8 February 2010, Nanjing - Professionals from the world of
tissue and disposable hygiene products will descend upon Jiangsu in April as
the 17th China International Tissue and Disposable Hygiene Products Exhibition
and Conference gets underway. UK-based Technical Absorbents Ltd (TAL) is just
one of many overseas exhibitors preparing for the three-day show.
The event, organised by China National Household Paper
Industry Association will be held between 14-16 April at the Nanjing
International Expo Centre, and will attract exhibitors and visitors from across
China and throughout the world. According
to organisers, the exhibition hall is twice the size as it was in 2009 at
30,000m2 and will have five separate pavilions housing western, tissue paper
manufacturers, disposable hygiene manufacturers, raw materials suppliers and
machinery suppliers.
TAL is owned by Bluestar Fibres Ltd, which is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of China National Bluestar Corporation, which in-turn is
wholly-owned by ChemChina, one of China’s fastest growing chemical groups.
During the exhibition, it is looking to raise further brand awareness, meet
with new and prospective customers and ultimately expand its presence within
the growing Chinese disposable hygiene market.
In addition to the manufacture of SAF, TAL also toll
manufactures nonwovens, yarns, woven fabrics and finished consumer goods, all
containing SAF. This is as a result of the relationships it has built with some
of the world’s leading specialist fibre converters, roll-goods producers and
end product manufacturers. It is now working to develop similar networks with
Asian companies in order to enhance routes to market within this region.
“The hygiene sector is one of a number of key industries for
our technology,” says TAL Business Development Manager Dave Hill. “This is a
result of its superior fluid absorption properties and its ability to produce
super soft and discreet absorbent core designs without the need for containment
systems.
“TAL’s experience and innovation in this growing market
sector has allowed it to develop fabrics which deliver improved user comfort
levels, and ultra-low re-wet performance. SAF is suited to not only the femme hygiene
market but also adult incontinence pads and diapers.
“As all of these hygiene products are mainly fibrous based,
SAF can be integrated extremely well throughout the final product, resulting in
excellent conversion, minimum wastage and consistent performance. These are all
benefits desired by hygiene product manufacturers and the end-user.
“Even though we are a fibre manufacturer, we want to promote
our involvement in all areas of the supply chain. The Chinese hygiene industry
is on the increase and we are keen to meet with anyone searching for a super absorbent
solution.”
