SAVIVA®

SAVIVA® is a unique innovation for superabsorbents based on our pioneering droplet polymerization technology. It has been developed to provide outstanding absorption performance characterized by very high capacity for superior leakage protection, long-term dryness and low rewet. Its unique round shape provides an exceptionally soft feel. It creates a new standard for today’s diaper performance.

A pioneering technology

Our expert R&D team worked intensively to re-engineer the traditional superabsorbent particle architecture in order to increase its performance significantly and support comfort and dryness.

Based on its unique round-shaped particles, SAVIVA® has an innovative liquid distribution mechanism, providing a highly efficient superabsorbent polymer in diaper cores.

SAVIVA® application

SAVIVA® can be used in hygiene articles, making a difference in the diaper market through its unique characteristics. Its high efficiency allows a significant saving in the amount of absorbent material used in each diaper and contributes to sustainability in terms of diaper weight reduction.
