Legcuff SMMS non woven fabric is a four-layer composite nonwoven built for the leg-cuff (leak-guard) position of disposable hygiene products. It combines two spunbond layers with two meltblown layers, giving converters a barrier-oriented material that still runs cleanly on high-speed diaper and sanitary napkin lines.
Material Overview and Construction
SMMS stands for Spunbond + Meltblown + Meltblown + Spunbond. The upper and lower layers are spunbond nonwoven, and two meltblown nonwoven layers are sandwiched in the middle, forming a four-layer composite cloth. It is an extension of the SMS nonwoven family. Polypropylene is the key component behind the material's clean, sterile-quality performance.
