LiquiSAp™ Coatings Enable New Levels of Performance

liquid superabsorbent applied to a nonwoven substrate

ETi LiquiSAp Technology is a liquid polymer product platform engineered to impart exceptional superabsorbent functionality to both flexible and non-flexible substrates.

1. How to use it

ETi LiquiSAp can be applied via industry-standard liquid application methods such as:

  • Dip coating
  • Spray coating
  • Inkjet printing
  • Kiss roll
  • Those treated substrates must then be cured with heat above 135ºC

2. Where to use it

This technology will find a quick and easy home as a drop-in replacement to many existing liquid superabsorbents currently used in the Wire & Cable industry.

Due to its unique set of features and benefits, ETi LiquiSAp is also an excellent candidate for use in the treatment of nonwoven fabrics often found in personal hygiene articles.
