Air Laying is a nonwoven web-forming process that disperses fibers into a fast moving air stream and
condenses them onto a moving screen by means of pressure or vacuum (Source: INDA).
SAF is routinely processed on all commercial air-laid production equipment.
SAF short staple grades (6 mm) are typically blended with wood pulp and thermal bondable fibre. Airlaid webs within excess of 80% SAF content can be achieved at fabric weights of approximately 20-1,000gsm. A wide range of lamination options are available for SAF based air-laids.
