Polyethylene Hygienic Cleaning Wipes

A fresh perspective on hygienic wipes

Discover ASPUN™ Fiber Grade Resins, which offer exciting opportunities to develop softer nonwoven wipes with enhanced performance and sustainability. There’s no question that cleaning and disinfecting are more important than ever or that nonwoven wipes play a major role. Demand continues to rise – along with the desire to be better individual and corporate citizens. So, what’s the answer? Polyethylene.

Soft and strong

Soft Polyethylene (PE) substrates exhibit the tensile strength and elongation needed for reliable wiping performance while adding premium touch and feel.

Resistance and high lint generation

Polyethylene (PE) -based wipes offer strong abrasion resistance / low lint generation, which can help extend useful life.

Dirt pick-up

Polyethylene (PE) substrates offer adequate dirt pick-up for a broad range of cleaning and disinfecting needs.

Liquid uptake

Polyethylene (PE) -based wipes can provide excellent liquid uptake, retention and release for wet wipe applications. This creates opportunities for both downgauging and reducing the amount of liquid formulation per package, which can help lower shipping weight as well as overall cost.

Solution for many wipe substrates

Polyethylene (PE) is well suited for uses far beyond bico sheath. In fact, it can offer excellent solutions for wipe substrates with mono PE, PE/PE bico, and PE meltblown nonwovens.

Need more evidence on hygiene applications?

For decades, our PE-based ASPUN™ Fiber Grade Resins have delivered outstanding performance for diapers and other absorbent hygiene products through a wide range of nonwoven solutions, including mono and bicomponent spunbonds, bico binder and staple fibers and meltblown fabrics.

Intensive research, development and testing have shown that using PE for wipes can offer manufacturers, brand owners and end-users the same benefits they experience in other PE-based hygiene applications.

Sustainability strength

Wipes based on our PE polymers can also help drive progress toward sustainability goals by: 

Lowering greenhouse gas emissions through reduced energy use and waste, offering multiple end-of-life options, including recyclability potential, creating shorter supply chains with fewer raw materials and sources, Supporting forest conservation by eliminating the wood pulp and cellulose used in conventional wipes and enabling lower-cost products for increased access to prevent infections.
