PAL | Read About The materials We Use In Our Wipes & Workwear Products

Materials

All of our wipes products are made from materials that have been developed to meet the specific needs of the application or task at hand. From heavy duty abrasive scrubs to soft maceratable fibres, our materials are carefully developed to work in synergy with our chemical formulations ensuring the highest levels of performance.

Tritex

Method of construction

Layers of spunbond and meltblown Polypropylene fibres are bonded together in a high heat process before a hydrophilic coating is applied. This material is 100% synthetic.

Features

High Strength in both directions – across and along the wipe
Very Low linting – low risk of leaving contaminating fibres on surfaces
Excellent solution retention – ensuring even wetness throughout the wipe
Efficient Solution release – active wipe ingredients are transferred to the surface

Power Scrub

Method of construction

A three tier technology process where the base layer of poly/viscose fibres are carded before coarse polypropylene fibres are applied via the spunbond process. The substrate is strengthened via thermal point bonding.

Features

Thick and strong – suitable for the toughest wiping tasks
Abrasive Scrub texture – helping the removal of tough ground in grime
Smooth reverse surface ideal for hand cleansing and general wiping

Performance Spunlace

Method of construction

Fibres are mechanically entangled through the application of high pressure water jets.

Features

Thick, soft and strong for for a high quality, high performance wiping experience
Apertured texture – making the material highly absorbant
High liquid capacity – suitable for wiping larger surfaces
Drapable feel – making the wipe feel more like a reusable cloth

Maceratable Airlaid

Method of construction

Short staple fibres are fed into a turbulent airstream and distributed over a conveyor to form a randomly orientated low density web, which is then carded and thermally dried to produce a high loft and soft substrate.

Features

Thick and soft – ideal for body cleansing even on sensitive skin
Highly absorbent, releasing liquid to the skin whilst lifting & removing dirt
Fully maceratable for safe convenient disposal in most macerators

Advanced Thermobond

Method of construction

Fibres are combed to become crosslapped before being thermally point bonded via a heated roller.

Features

High Strength in both directions – across and along the wipe
Thick and voluminous allowing for high liquid capacity
Excellent solution release – almost all the liquid is transferred to surface
