This conference is about the nuts and bolts of
how to design, qualify and compare disposables. It covers what’s
important to consider for success, what data looks like, and how it is
generated for maximum effect. The presentation begins where INSIGHT 2012
left off.

SPECIAL
OPPORTUNITY!
MTS AIRLAID PLANT TOUR & DEMONSTRATION, 8:30 - 11:00 A.M.
A short bus trip will take delegates to the MTS facilities. Delegates will observe the production of grades of ultrathin and exotic hygienic composites including: diapers-on-a-roll, ultra-high-percent SAP composites, two-sided wipers and 100% synthetic absorbent core.
In addition, the MTS testing facility will be demonstrated, including hammermills, nit counters and advanced testing devices.
This is a special opportunity since airlaid plants are seldom open for public tours and this particular facility has unique product design capabilities.
All delegates will receive a sample fabric book from the demonstration runs in addition to the conference proceedings.
The Absorbent Products Design Symposium will conclude with the end of the
tour at 11:00 a.m..
