Technical Absorbents manufactures its own patented polymer system used to produce SAF®. This aqueous solution is extruded into a hot air stream in order to dry and cure the polymer, resulting in the formation of SAF® filaments – which are at this stage insoluble in water. These are then cooled, and precision cut into a range of staple lengths before being dried, cross-linked, conditioned and baled for despatch.
The manufacturing process is extremely versatile, allowing for precise tailoring and control of all required fibre parameters. State-of-the-art in-house quality control systems ensure fibre is produced to exacting specifications. This is a huge advantage to many customers and has helped open up many opportunities in new market sectors.
