ADDITIONAL DIAPER TESTS

In addition to the very basic laboratory tests listed above, there are at least 15 additional tests that are needed to make sure that the quality of a diaper is of required standards. By the way, we do not use these standard tests anymore at our laboratory – we have developed our own specific procedures. These additional tests include hot melt accelerated oven ageing, cloth-like and backsheet pin-hole testing under pressure, SAP permeability and tea bag test, SAP particle distribution in the diaper using an indicator solution, diaper “pad integrity test” to make sure that the diaper will not break apart while in use, static and dynamic coefficient of friction for backsheet, nonwoven surfactant wash-off resistance test, pulp fiber length distribution (conducted by the pulp supplier), material strength for film for tapes and elastomerics; peel and shear force for adhesive and mechanical tapes, UV light color resistance and retentive capacity at different pressure loads, besides a few others.  If you are interested in some or all of these test procedures we can offer them to you for a fee.  Let us know if you are interested.

Richer Investment can help you set up a professional laboratory for your quality control system. We have the know-how and the experience to help you reduce your quality complaints and enhance your profits. We can also train your lab people on how to do the tests.  Try our new Laboratory service; you will be surprised how much you can learn from our professional analytical reports.  You can read a short internet sample about some very basic diaper analysis following this link: Diaper Analysis.  Our advance set of tests provides all of the information you need in order to improve your diaper design.   We can also help set up your own infant test research program with a local day care facility in order to do your own diaper testing with actual babies.
