Kae Hwa’s HygieSoft™ Sanitary Films provide ultra-thin, noise-free protection, ideal for sanitary napkins and panty liners. Offering superior fluid resistance, dynamic breathability, and skin-friendly softness, it is designed to meet the highest feminine hygiene standards and ensure maximum comfort and discretion for everyday wear.
Menstruation and daily feminine care require materials that offer absolute security without compromising personal discretion. Kae Hwa’s HygieSoft™ Sanitary Film is engineered to deliver complete liquid barrier integrity while remaining virtually invisible in use. Built upon advanced polymer blending and specialized micro-embossing technology, this backsheet ensures not only proven leak resistance but also whisper-quiet movement, sustained breathability, and reliable structural performance for ultra-thin pad designs.

Premium organic cotton sanitary pads
Light incontinence liners
Our sanitary backsheet films are meticulously tested to ensure high hydrostatic pressure resistance. The microporous structure effectively blocks menstrual fluid, providing a 100% reliable bottom barrier that prevents leakage and staining, giving users absolute confidence during heavy-flow days.
Traditional plastic backsheets trap heat and moisture, leading to discomfort and odor. HygieSoft™ utilizes billions of microscopic pores to allow humidity and body heat to vent outward continuously. This exceptional Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) keeps the intimate micro-climate dry, significantly reducing the risk of bacterial growth and skin irritation.
Discretion is paramount in feminine care. We specifically formulate our polymers to possess acoustic-dampening properties. The resulting film is incredibly soft and flexible, eliminating the embarrassing "rustling" or crinkling noises associated with standard disposable pads during movement.
When combined with premium nonwovens through our solvent-free lamination process, HygieSoft™ transforms into a cloth-like material. It is extruded to an incredibly thin gauge, allowing manufacturers to design ultra-slim pads that feel invisible while providing a chafe-free, hypoallergenic surface against sensitive skin.

In feminine hygiene, managing the internal micro-climate is just as important as absorbing fluid. A non-breathable pad rapidly increases local temperature and humidity, which accelerates bacterial proliferation and odor.
To meet premium wellness standards, the backsheet must act as a dynamic membrane. HygieSoft™ achieves this by allowing microscopic water vapor to escape while locking in macroscopic fluids, setting the benchmark for freshness, hygiene, and all-day comfort.
With over 60 years of polymer innovation, Kae Hwa is a proven specialist in breathable films for the global hygiene industry. Our materials are manufactured under strict ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified systems, ensuring reliable, safe, and consistent quality for intimate care products.
We develop sanitary films using proprietary microporous technology and eco-friendly processes, enabling global feminine care brands to deliver products that respect both women's health and the environment.
The pores in our HygieSoft™ membrane are engineered to be significantly smaller than a liquid droplet, yet larger than a water vapor molecule. This physical structure guarantees that menstrual fluid is completely locked in, while humid air is allowed to vent out continuously.
Yes. Odor in hygiene products is often exacerbated by trapped heat and bacterial growth in damp environments. By allowing the pad to "breathe," our film keeps the internal micro-climate dry and cool, which naturally suppresses bacterial proliferation and associated odors.
Absolutely. We strictly utilize an advanced solvent-free lamination process. This means there are no harsh chemical adhesives or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that could cause allergic reactions or skin sensitization in delicate areas.
