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.
