What is Airlaid?
Airlaid is a way of laying down shortcut staple fibres to form a continuous web and is defined as a material within the nonwoven materials group. Nonwovens are defined as manufactured sheets, web or batt of directionally or randomly oriented fibres, bonded by friction, and/or cohesion and/or adhesion. This nonwoven method involves using air as a dispersing media for fibres, - predominantly wood pulp.

The Dan-Web Airlaid Lines
Airlaid is a web formation process in which the web can be bonded in several ways. Dan-Web's modular design built and heavy duty construction airlaid lines with high-speed web control of up to 1000 m/min offer stability and flexibility in the production process:

Latex bonding (LBAL)
Application of latex (liquid binder) on both sides of a pulp based product with successive evaporation of the water and curing of the latex

Thermal bonding (TBAL)
Mixing of pulp and bi-component fibres followed by thermal bonding

Multi bonding (MBAL)
Thermal bonding with light spray of latex on the surface of the product in order to eliminate linting or dusting

Hydrogen bonding (X-BAL)
Bonding without bonding fibres by means of high calendaring pressure only

Airlace process
Forming of fluff pulp on top of a carded material followed by hydro entangling (water needling) and drying of the materials
