Chicopee Inc, a division of Polymer Group Inc introduced new extended use heavy-duty industrial cleaning wipes that feature a pulp-based three-layered material construction and the latest Spinlace technology to deliver greater absorption and strength with lower linting at value pricing.
The company debuted its new DuraWipe XTRA wipe made with Spinlace technology at the International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA)/Interclean show on Oct 23-26, in Orlando, Fla. (Booth No 509).
Made with a highly absorbent core pulp, DuraWipe XTRA wipes quickly absorb water and oil, while the outer layers reduce linting. These high-end wipes are compatible with both oil- and water-based solvents and can be used in a variety of heavy-duty repeated use cleaning applications.
DuraWipe XTRA wipes are the first product from Chicopee to feature the company's new Spinlace technology that combines several technologies and processes, including its proprietary Apex process, to create stronger, highly absorbent nonwoven materials with a better value proposition than traditional wipes.
DuraWipe XTRA wipe's additional layer and pulp center makes it stronger than regular two-layered wipes in wet and dry cleaning uses. These fabrics are also soft to the touch, like cloth towels, have a uniform appearance and can incorporate three-dimensional images for additional performance characteristics.
“In institutional and industrial wiping applications, we recognizeda gap between performance and price,” said Dave Beck, Chicopee's senior director of sales and marketing.
