Liquid acquisition Fluid acquisition layers are important components of ultra-thin disposable diapers. The function of the acquisition layer in a diaper is to absorb fluid quickly and transport it away from the point of wetting. Transported fluid is locked away in the absorbent core consisting of fluff pulp and a super absorbent. Super absorbents are
