Spongel and Airgel g-grade: comfort and health for light incontinence
Light incontinence in adults is a very common condition, resulting in the involuntary loss of urine caused by a sudden increase in bladder pressure.
A sudden movement, a cough, a sneeze, laughing, or lifting a weight can trigger this leakage.
Also known as stress incontinence, it mainly affects women due to physical changes related to pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause, but it can also affect men, often following surgical removal of the prostate.
The leakage of urine, which can range from a few drops to a larger volume, can cause skin irritation and significant psychological discomfort, which is often underestimated, but can affect the habits and quality of life of those who suffer from it.
Airlaid is the most used material as the absorbent core in hygiene products for light incontinence.
This type of non-woven fabric is produced using air instead of water and is composed of natural wood fibers, known as cellulose pulp.
Airlaid is consolidated through mechanical or thermal methods to create a material with unique physical properties, such as high elasticity, softness, extraordinary liquid absorption, and excellent retention performance.
Airlaid has high strength, even when wet, and can absorb six times its weight, ensuring hygiene and purity.
For light incontinence, Magic has developed Spongel, compostable super absorbent powder, and the compostable airlaid Airgel g-grade, both certified OK Compost Industrial.
Used inside the absorbent core or as the absorbent core itself, these materials enhance the performance of standard products by quickly absorbing and retaining leaks; the risk of skin irritation and associated discomfort is reduced, and the feeling of freshness on the skin helps to limit any social discomfort as well.
For Magic, innovation starts with real needs and turns research and expertise into solutions that can make a tangible contribution to quality of life.
This is the perspective that guides our product development, as we continue to advance materials, performance and applications over time.
