SAVIVA®

SAVIVA® is a unique breakthrough 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 breakthrough technology

Our expert R&D team worked intensively over the last decade to re-engineer the traditional superabsorbent particle architecture in order to increase its performance significantly and offer a new level of comfort and dryness.

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

SAVIVA® application

SAVIVA® can be used as a drop-in solution for existing hygiene articles and a unique opportunity to create innovative diaper designs, making a difference in the diaper market. 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.
