CASE STUDY

Full-Care™ 5885 to meet our customers requirement for natural-based baby

diapers

H.B Fuller experts from around the globe have utilized extensive

technical know-how to develop Full-Care™ 5885, a high wet-

strength adhesive that allows manufacturers to confidently

switch to natural substrates, like 100% cotton and viscose,

without having to significantly increase coat weight. This grade

was the solution for our customers who were able to replace

their current construction adhesive with Full-Care™ 5885. This

new adhesive solution enabled our customer to meet demands

for a more sustainable world. They were able to reduce their

coat weight by 20% at low application temperature and

consequently reached their sustainability target in the

production process. As their baby diapers are OEKO-TEX®

certified, they were pleased that our product also offers extra

assurance, as it meets the certification requirement of the ECO-

PASSPORT by OEKOTEX® .

sustainable solutions

Around the world, consumers of disposable hygiene products

are seeking more environmentally-friendly and natural based

products. Cotton articles, which have soft breathable

properties, are in high-demand and it’s a trend set to rapidly

continue. Our customer was following this trend and

manufactures cotton-based diapers. He knows, after many

years of working closely with us, that H.B. Fuller is an

innovation leader in the industry and asked for our advanced

adhesive technologies and expertise to operate in a more

sustainable way.

Our customer was looking for a construction adhesive which

can run at normal or even reduced coat weights and is also

able to bond their natural substrates.

Wet strength also was a focus, as cotton absorbs liquid well

and swells when wet. As their target was also to apply the

adhesive sustainable, there was a need for a product applying

at low temperatures without changing the application set up

with an optimal line efficiency.
