Dukane, the leader of full-service plastic bonding corporations, has developed new Ultrasonic Attachment/Lamination technologies for manufacturers of hygiene products. Dukane continues to engineer innovations that provide its customers with world-class end-to-end solutions, shorter developmental lead times, and outstanding executional design flexibility.

Dukane’s improved process for manufacturing in the baby and adult product categories and advancements in technology have led to significant improvements in fit characteristics and sustainability driven by Dukane attachment/lamination processes that eliminate the need for adhesives in the manufacturing of hygiene products.

“We have been the leader in providing solutions for manufacturers of hygiene products for over 40 years. With the acquisition of Aurizon Ultrasonics in 2019, we can now deliver the fastest and most diverse product portfolio of adhesive-free solutions in the business. Why is it important? Because it means adhesives are no longer necessary for hygiene manufacturing processes.” says Dukane Product Manager, Hygiene/Packaging, Justin Lafferty.

Dukane’s new attachment technology addresses a lot of manufacturers’ concerns when it comes to putting elastic bonds into hygiene products. The most obvious is that it completely eliminates adhesives from the process by attaching elastic strands to the nonwoven substrates, softness, and breathability.

Additionally, this technology offers a significant return on investment by removing cost overhead from managing materials and additional downtime for cleaning adhesive residue from equipment while eliminating the need for expensive petroleum-based materials, additional labor, and utility costs.
