How does the HygieSoft™ breathable backsheet effectively prevent diaper rash for babies and adult incontinence?

Diaper rash (diaper dermatitis) is primarily triggered by a combination of trapped moisture, excessive heat, and mechanical friction. Kae Hwa Industrial engineered the HygieSoft™ series to directly combat these three triggers. By utilizing advanced microporous casting film technology combined with soft nonwoven lamination, it creates a healthy micro-climate for delicate baby skin and fragile elderly skin.

The 3 Pillars of Skin Wellness

💨

Vapor Release (Micro-Climate)

The microporous PE film contains millions of microscale pores. These pores allow trapped humidity and body heat to escape continuously, keeping the internal skin environment dry and significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth.

🛡️

Absolute Leak Protection

While letting vapor out, the microscopic pores are strictly sized to be smaller than liquid droplets. This ensures a 100% reliable waterproof barrier that prevents urine leakage, keeping outer garments and bedding completely dry.

Cloth-Like Softness

Stiff plastic causes mechanical friction, worsening rashes. Through our custom in-line lamination with premium nonwovens, HygieSoft™ achieves an ultra-soft, cushioned, and noise-free textile touch that prevents skin irritation.
