H.B. Fuller Introduces Positioning Adhesive for Absorbent Hygiene Articles

Full-Care® 6550 SecureFix is a patent pending, cutting-edge adhesive designed to provide a strong bond in high-moisture environments. Its unique formulation ensures that products like pantyliners stay securely in place, even when exposed to moisture or movement.

This adhesive is engineered for high peel performance. Additionally, Full-Care® 6550 is cytotoxicity certified according to ISO 10993-5, ensuring safety and comfort for users.

To gather early insights into the effectiveness of Full-Care® 6550 SecureFix compared to industry standards, we conducted an initial internal consumer study with 24 active women. This study aimed to explore the adhesive's performance under high-moisture conditions, such as during workouts.

Key Findings

• 71% of participants reported that Full-Care® 6550 had better adhesion during active use compared to the industry standard
• 100% of participants confirmed that Full-Care® 6550 did not leave any adhesive residue on undergarments after removal
• 67% of people would buy a liner with Full-Care® 6550 positioning adhesive over the tested industry standard

These results demonstrate that Full-Care® 6550 SecureFix provides superior adhesion in high-moisture environments and that products stay secure during exercise without leaving behind any residue—a common challenge with standard adhesives.

While Full-Care® 6550 is an ideal solution for feminine hygiene products, its versatility and high performance extends to other markets:

1. Adult Incontinence Products:

• Booster Pads: Used to increase the absorption capacity of incontinence briefs, these pads rely on adhesives to stay secure and offer enhanced comfort. Secure adhesion to hydrophilic nonwoven top sheets after insult is vital to enhancing comfort and promoting skin health through dryness.
• Men's Pads: Designed for moderate to heavy incontinence, secure adhesives ensure these pads stay in place while providing comfort and dryness.

Baby Diaper Inserts: Full-Care® 6550 is well-suited for baby diaper inserts by providing enhanced adhesion that improves the overall user experience.

Full-Care® 6550 SecureFix is more than just an adhesive – it's a commitment to empowering women to lead active lifestyles without compromise. By addressing the challenges of moisture and movement, Full-Care® 6550 ensures that women can stay focused on their activities, not their feminine hygiene products.

H.B. Fuller is proud to bring this innovative solution to market, reinforcing our dedication to improving products and lives through adhesive technology. We believe Full-Care® 6550 SecureFix will set a new benchmark in the feminine hygiene industry, offering both manufacturers and consumers a product that truly sticks to its promises.
