Pigmented nonwoven polymer webs: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

Engineering the optical opacity and color saturation of synthetic fibers through pigment dispersion. This enables the production of dark-tinted absorbent substrates that mask fluid stains in hygiene products.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Pigmented nonwoven polymer webs?

Insufficient material extensibility and breathability

(34)evidences

The keywords highlight the need for highly extensible webs and specific aperture structures in nonwoven substrates. Solving this limitation allows for better fit and structural integrity in absorbent articles without material failure.

Visual and tactile surface monotony

(23)evidences

Standard nonwoven materials often lack visual depth and physical texture, leading to a cheap or industrial feel. Enhancing the discernible patterns and texture perception improves the consumer's sensory experience and product premiumization.
