NAPPY adult, large size, single use

Form

A disposable undergarment (a nappy or diaper) composed by 3 layers:

  • porous top-sheet: must allow liquid to flow through it, draws liquid away from the skin, so the skin is kept dry
  • absorbent core (composed by a cellulose layer and a 50% cellulose-polyacrylate sodium SAP layer): takes in, distributes and holds liquid under pressure
  • impermeable back sheet: keeps clothes and bedding dry

Technical specifications:

  • absorbency Rating: moderate to heavy incontinence and loose stools
  • disposable
  • suitable for female and male adult use
  • the diaper absorbs urine and neutralizes odour without adding perfumes or scents
  • shaped to contour the body and have double leg cuffs to help prevent leakage and increase protection
  • resealable wings
  • wetness indicator makes it easy for care taker to identify when a shaped pad needs to be changed (most manufacturers recommend that the product is changed when the indicator is two thirds full)

Norms:

  • ISO 15621:2017: Absorbent incontinence aids for urine and/or faeces -- General guidelines on evaluation
  • ISO 11948-1:1996 (confirmed in 2018): Urine-absorbing aids -- Part 1: Whole-product testing
  • ISO 17190:2001 (confirmed 2017): Urine-absorbing aids for incontinence -- Test methods for characterizing polymer-based absorbent materials
  • ISO 9949-1:1993 (confirmed 2014): Urine absorbing aids – Vocabulary

The ISO total absorbency (Rothwell test) is the maximum absorption capacity of the absorbing material in the entire urine-absorbing aid. The urine-absorbing aid is weighed dry, soaked in test liquid, drained, and weighed wet. Subtraction of the dry mass from the wet mass gives the absorption capacity.

The working absorbency is the amount of liquid the product will absorb during normal use. As a general rule, Working Absorbency is 30-50% of the ISO Total Absorbency.

Droplet scales provide the user with a quick and easy to use method of identifying the absorbency levels within a range of products. The more droplets that are filled, the more absorbent the product. It is important to note that different brands have different Droplet scales, and so comparing droplets across different brands may not show the same levels of absorbency.
