Technical Absorbents is a trusted name in the superabsorbent and nonwovens industries. Collaboration is key. We believe in firmly understanding a brief before commencing a new project. This allows us to engineer innovative absorbent solutions to meet the specific needs of our customers and their end-products.
SAF™ technology is now used globally by customers who operate in a diverse range of markets, including hygiene; food packaging; medical; construction; cable and filtration.
So, What is SAF?
SAF™ is a highly technical, soft, staple fibre, that absorbs significant amounts quickly. In fact, it can take in up to two hundred times its own weight in water, even under load. It also provides excellent levels of containment and retention, which can be hugely beneficial in a wide range of applications.
As SAF™ is not applied as a coating, it does not shed. This minimises issues with dust and resulting blind spots. SAF™ is naturally white and odorless. It has an excellent toxicity profile and is FDA and EFSA approved as an absorbent for use in food packaging.
As standard, SAF™ is produced in three staple lengths – 6mm, 52mm and 80mm. Commercially, these are available in 250kg bales or 100kg boxes. However, we can also engineer innovative SAF™ solutions to meet individual customer and product requirements.
Our team of SAFologists will swiftly respond to discuss your needs and guide you to the right fibre, fabric, or yarn. From concept to launch, we’re here to solve your super absorbency challenges.
