For over 20-years, Technical Absorbents Ltd has been at the forefront of the fibrous superabsorbents industry with its unique Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF™) technology. SAF™ can rapidly absorb 200 times its own weight in water and 60 times its own weight in saline extremely quickly and is used globally in a wide range of applications, e.g. medical, cable, food packaging, hygiene, apparel and filtration. Although SAF™ remains at the heart of the business, it is the wide range of washable and disposable SAF™ fabrics and yarns that are now capturing the imagination of product designers. 52mm and 80mm SAF™ fibres can be spun with other staple fibres to produce these high performance superabsorbent SAF™swellable yarns. The denier, decitex, absorption rate and ultimate swell height can meet required specifications by altering the SAF™ grade and fibre blend. SAF™ can be processed by all well-known staple fibre spinning systems. Typically, SAF™ would be blended with other synthetic fibres such as polyester, nylon, cellulose and aramids. These fibre blends are normally processed using the cotton and semi-worsted systems. Superabsorbent SAF™ Yarns are supplied on bobbins, which can be sized to suit manufacturing requirements, they are lightweight, easy to onward process. A standard range of yarns are already available and others can be manufactured to meet specific requirements. SAF™ Super absorbent spun yarns are are suitable for a wide range of applications, e.g. medical, cable and hygiene
