India is one of the fastest-growing absorbent hygiene markets in the world — and ‘RIGHT’ HYGIENE is where that market meets. We will be there on 8 and 9 September 2026 at Andaz by Hyatt, Aerocity, New Delhi.

Why we are coming

Much of what a diaper, a feminine care pad or an adult incontinence product actually delivers is decided at the fibre and web surface. That is exactly where we work — since 1921, from Edt bei Lambach in Upper Austria, today serving customers in more than 40 countries.

The second reason is Asia. AGATEX is building a second production site in Prachinburi, Thailand. For converters across South and Southeast Asia that means the same formulations, but with short lead times, local availability and a response speed that shipping from Europe cannot match. ‘RIGHT’ HYGIENE is where we want to discuss that with the people it matters to.

The five conference tracks — and where we fit

The programme runs across Markets & Trends, Materials & Innovation, Process & Technology, Consumer Rights and Sustainability. The material side and the sustainability debate matter most to us: requirements for auxiliary chemistry are shifting faster than in the previous decade — PFAS regulation, recycled fibre entering hygiene applications, cost pressure with no tolerance for lower performance.

What we want to talk about in New Delhi

• Topsheet and ADL: reproducible hydrophilicity with LAMBAFIL® — sink time, strike-through, wetback and run-off, including multiple-insult testing. Permanent or temporary, depending on the product concept.
• Backsheet, leg cuffs and barrier layers: LAMBAPHOB® is 100% PFAS-free, based on natural raw materials and readily biodegradable to OECD 301. We have been developing PFAS-free alternatives for over a decade — not since the EU restriction debate began.
• Fibre preparation: LAMBAFIL® spin finishes for PP, PET, PLA, viscose, lyocell and bicomponent fibres — matched to carding, spunbond, needlepunch and spunlace.
• Process stability: LAMBAFELT® antistatics against fibre fly and machine downtime, LAMEX® defoamers for spunlace water loops and finishing baths.
• Development instead of a catalogue: at the AGATEX Innovation Center (AIC) in Austria we develop together with the customer — lab carding, lab padder, sink-time measurement and hygiene web testing to EDANA methods. The deliverable is not a test report, it is a formulation that runs on your line.

Who you will meet

Ravi Shindale, Application Technologist Asia, will be on site for both days. He advises converters across Asia at the machine and brings their requirements back into the AIC, where our lab develops the formulation. The path from “this does not work on our line” to a first trial sample is short here — the advantage of a family business with its own laboratory.
