Air-laid paper is a nonwoven fabric, textile-like material made
from fluff pulp. It is made from 85% wood pulp and 15% binder. Air-laid paper
is very bulky, porous, and soft. It has good water absorption properties. The
raw paper pulp material is treated with extra softness and absorbency.
Therefore, air-laid paper holds as much as six times its own weight in fluids
and simultaneously has a greater wet strength compared to traditional paper
tissue. Under the manufacturing process of air-laid paper, fibers are brought
into an air flow and from there to a moving belt or perforated drum, where they
shape a randomly leaning web. Air-laid webs possess lower density and higher
softness contrast to carded webs. Air-laid webs also possess immense
adaptability in terms of fibers and fiber blends. Manufacturing of air-laid
paper takes place in three major steps: fiber opening, web formation, and web
bonding. The physical characteristics of air-laid nonwovens make them suitable
for various disposable absorbent applications in consumer, industrial, and
institutional markets.

Air-laid
paper offers the following advantages: easy disposal after use – no laundry,
textile-like surface and drape, very low linting, no dust, no static, strong
even when wet, and clean and hygienic. It can also be sterilized.
Based on
product, the air-laid
paper market can be segmented into multi bond, thermal bond, latex
bond, and hydrogen bond. Under latex bond, two different methods can be used to
apply latex binder to the web, depending on the design of the production line.
Under thermal bond, the web must contain synthetic bonding fibers (generally
bi-components with polyethylene and polypropylene). After compaction, the web
is transported into an oven, which softens and melts the sheaths of the fibers
to the point where they fuse together, bonding the various components of the
web. The web is then calendered to the correct thickness, cooled, and
transported to the slitting/rewinding system. Hydrogen bonding utilizes the
ability of cellulose fibers to bond together when naturally occurring moisture
contained in the fibers is removed while the fibers are in close contact.
Generally, bonding is accomplished under conditions of high temperature and
pressure. This process eliminates the need for synthetic binders to be added to
the air-laid web. Multi bond is a combination of latex and thermal bond. The
web is thermally bonded and a light application of latex is sprayed on both
sides of the web to reduce the lint that is often released in high-speed converting
operations.
In terms
of application, the air-laid paper can be divided into Disposable Wiping-
Household Cleaning Wipes, and Hand Wipes, Table-Top and Food Handling, Personal
Care Products- Feminine Napkins, and Adult Incontinence. Air-laid paper is
primarily used in feminine hygiene products and wipes. Wipes can be used in
many applications such as body wash, hand wash, baby wipes, industrial wipes,
and household cleaning wipes.

Based on
region, the global air-laid market can be segregated into North America,
Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Europe is
the dominant region of the Air-laid paper market, followed by North America.
This can be ascribed to the increase in usage of wipes in Europe for personal
care and food handling processes.
