Technical Absorbents

Technical Absorbents Limited makes superabsorbent materials, including its Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF™) and the fabrics and yarns built on it. The website states the fibre absorbs up to 200 times its own weight in water and offers fast absorption and good retention.

Customers are business buyers: nonwoven producers who blend the fibre into their own materials, and developers of end products that need an absorbent layer or core. Listed application areas are hygiene, medical, liquid filtration, structural waterproofing, food packaging and cable. Fabric samples can be bought online, and the company offers a product selector and bespoke development work.

The company is based in Grimsby, UK, where it operates a manufacturing facility, and states it has a headcount of about 60 across manufacturing, engineering, IT, accounts, commercial, R&D and HR. The website says it has worked in superabsorbents for 30 years and announced an exclusive agreement with Indian company Amie for period pants. Its careers page lists open roles including a purchasing and logistics warehouse assistant/forklift driver and a 12-month undergraduate product development placement for 2027/28.
