Technical Absorbents, based in Grimsby, UK, has developed washable absorbent core fabric 7171, a high-performing material designed to combine exceptional absorbency with reusability.

Made using the company’s superabsorbent fibre (SAF), the fabric rapidly captures and locks away liquid while remaining fully launderable, making it ideal for repeated use.

The new needlepunched nonwoven fabric weighs just 120gsm and offers impressive absorption and retention properties, making it particularly suited for use as the core layer in reusable period and light incontinence products.

Supplied on rolls up to two metres wide, it provides a practical solution for manufacturers seeking a reliable, high-quality absorbent layer for washable applications.
