Incontinence products are designed to provide security and comfort for users in sensitive situations. These products must combine flexibility, breathability, and durability to ensure confidence and ease of use. Elastomeric netting is a key innovation that enables these qualities, creating superior stretch layers that expand while maintaining stability and compression for an exceptionally comfortable experience.
Market needs and technical requirements
The incontinence care market demands products that do more than absorb—they must deliver comfort, discretion, and reliability while supporting efficient production.
- Elasticity and Flexibility for a secure yet comfortable fit.
- Moisture and Heat Management to keep skin dry and prevent irritation.
- Breathability for improved air permeability and water vapor transmission.
- Durability and Shape Retention for long-lasting performance.
- Manufacturing Efficiency to reduce complexity and downtime.
Moisture and heat management are critical for user comfort. Controlled movement of perspiration and water vapor away from the skin, combined with effective heat transfer, ensures dryness and prevents discomfort during extended wear.
Rebound™ – elastomeric netting in incontinence products
Conwed’s Rebound™ elastomeric netting serves as the stretch engine in incontinence products, offering a flexible, elastic square netting that integrates seamlessly into composite structures.
Key features include:
- Customizable elasticity for precise fit and recovery.
- Bi-directional or single direction stretch options.
- Flat configurations for smooth, skin-friendly surfaces.
- Superior breathability for enhanced moisture and heat management.
Rebound™ can be used alone or combined with nonwovens to create elastic composites that outperform traditional materials like films, spandex, or stretchable nonwovens. They are typically used in the stretch zones and structural layers of the product to provide flexibility, fit, and breathability.
- Waistbands and Side Panels: The netting acts as a stretch engine, allowing the product to expand and contract for a secure yet comfortable fit.
- Leg Cuffs and Containment Zones: Providing elasticity to prevent leakage while maintaining comfort around sensitive areas.
- Composite Layers in the Core Structure: Integrated into nonwoven composites to improve air permeability, water vapor transmission, and heat dissipation without adding bulk.
- Outer Cover Reinforcement: Adds strength and dimensional stability to thin, breathable materials, ensuring durability during wear.
Benefits for Users
Rebound™ improves comfort and confidence for users by delivering exceptional breathability and moisture control. Its ability to increase water vapor transmission and accelerate heat dissipation keeps skin dry and protected, reducing irritation and enhancing overall well-being. The flexible structure ensures a secure fit without compromising freedom of movement, making incontinence products more discreet and comfortable.
Benefits for Manufacturers
For manufacturers, Rebound™ simplifies production and boosts efficiency. Its integrated stretch-engine eliminates the need for complex elastic systems, reducing downtime and costs. Customizable configurations allow precise control over hysteresis, recovery, and strength, enabling tailored solutions for different product lines. With Conwed’s expertise, manufacturers can achieve higher productivity and deliver premium-quality products that meet market demands.
