The Acquisition & Distribution Layer - Efficient fluid distribution for more comfort
Acquisition and distribution layers (ADL) are crucial components of absorbent hygiene products such as baby diapers, incontinence products and sanitary towels. It ensures that liquid is quickly absorbed and efficiently transferred to the absorbent core. As a result, the surface remains pleasantly dry and the liquid is reliably trapped inside the product.


Spunlace Acquisition & Distribution Layers
The material properties of spunlace acquisition and distribution layers offer many advantages. The distinct capillary effect of spunlace ADL absorbs and transports liquid particularly quickly. Wet back remains minimal, which supports a dry feel. At the same time, the material offers high stability, with its strength being individually adjustable to ensure optimal processing. Thanks to its padding effect and its spacer structure, Sandler spunlace ADL materials provide additional comfort. It also acts as a buffer and enables the optimal utilization of the core and the superabsorber.
Another advantage is the flexibility in the material composition. Depending on the product requirements, the acquisition and distribution layer can be individually adapted, whether in terms of thickness, strength or the use of sustainable fibers. Reducing the basis weight, where possible, offers additional potential cost advantages.
