Baby diaper raw material

We provide one-stop sourcing solutions for all essential components used in baby diapers, ensuring quality consistency and stable supply for high-speed production lines.

Nonwoven

1. Nonwoven Fabric (Top Sheet & Back Sheet)

Definition & Function

Nonwoven fabric is the main surface material of baby diapers. The top sheet contacts the baby’s skin and ensures comfort, while the back sheet protects against leakage. PP spunbond nonwoven is widely used for its softness, breathability, and cost efficiency.

Hydrophilic Nonwoven: Designed for the top sheet. lt quickly allows liquid topassthrough to the absorbent core, keeping the baby's skin dry.

Hydrophobic Nonwoven: Used for the back sheet or leakage quard areas. lt repels liquidto prevent leakage and provides a soft, dry outer layer.

Specification Range

Material:Hydrophilic SSS Nonwoven/Hot Air Through/3D Ebossing Nonwoven/Hydrophobic SMMS Nonwoven

GSM: 10–30 g/m² (Top Sheet); 13–40 g/m² (Back Sheet)

Width: 60–2400 mm customizable

Color: White, blue, pink, custom options

Suitable for: High-speed baby diaper production lines Breathable or Unbreathable

Application Scenarios

Standard type: PP spunbond nonwoven for daily baby diapers

Premium type: Hydrophilic or embossed nonwoven for extra softness

Why Choose HC Industry

PE Film Back Sheet

2.PE / PE+Nonwoven Laminate Film (Backsheet)

Definition & Function

PE films act as the waterproof layer on the diaper backsheet, preventing leakage and maintaining flexibility. Laminated film can combine nonwoven softness with excellent barrier performance.

Hydrophilic Nonwoven: Designed for the top sheet. lt quickly allows liquid topassthrough to the absorbent core, keeping the baby's skin dry.

Hydrophobic Nonwoven: Used for the back sheet or leakage quard areas. lt repels liquidto prevent leakage and provides a soft, dry outer layer.Specification Range

Hot Melt Adhesive & SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer)

3. SAP and Fluff Pulp (Core Absorbent Layer)

Definition & Function

The absorbent core of baby diapers consists primarily of Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) and fluff pulp. SAP rapidly absorbs and locks liquid within the core, while fluff pulp evenly distributes the liquid to maintain a dry surface. The synergy of these two materials directly determines the diaper’s absorbency, comfort, and rewet performance.

Specification Range

SAP: Sodium polyacrylate, absorption ≥ 50 g/g

Fluff Pulp: Softwood or mixed pulp, density 0.1–0.3 g/cm³

Core Ratio: 30–50% SAP + 50–70% Fluff Pulp (customizable according to diaper type and machine speed)

Application Scenarios

Standard type: Balanced SAP/fluff pulp ratio for stable absorbency and cost efficiency

Premium type: High-quality SAP and refined pulp for superior absorption rate and minimal rewet

Customized type: Core design optimized for machine type, production speed, and regional market preferences

Why Choose HC Industry

At HC Industry, we emphasize brand reliability and material consistency. We cooperate with globally recognized suppliers to guarantee absorbent performance and production stability:

SAP Brands: Sumitomo, BASF, LG Chem – ensuring high absorption capacity, excellent gel stability, and fast liquid lock-in.

Fluff Pulp Brands: Georgia-Pacific (GP), International Paper, Domtar – providing clean, uniform fiber with high bulk and strength.

By integrating Sumitomo/BASF SAP and GP pulp, our absorbent cores achieve:

Fast liquid intake and even distribution

Long-lasting dryness and comfort

Reliable performance across both economy and premium diaper lines

We focus on brand-based sourcing and quality traceability, enabling our partners to maintain consistent diaper performance and manufacturing efficiency across different markets.

5. Industry Development Trends

Although the main raw materials remain PP nonwoven, PE film, SAP, and fluff pulp, the diaper

industry is focusing on improving softness, absorption speed, and production efficiency.

Recent developments include:

Ultra-soft embossed nonwoven surface layers

Breathable PE films with better air permeability

Advanced SAP formulas for quick absorption

Lighter diaper core designs to reduce cost and material usage

HC Industry closely follows these trends, continuously improving product quality and process

stability to help customers stay competitive in the global market.
