Polymer Group will debut its new family of Spinlace fabrics at the International Engineered Fabrics Conference and Expo (IDEA07) in Miami this April.
The Spinlace process provides added strength, absorbency, texturing and other performance characteristics that ease cleaning.
The new Clorox wipes offers consumers a quick and easy way to effectively clean and disinfect by combining pre-moistened wipes with cleaners and disinfectants.
These thicker, textured wipes with an imaged design made with PGI's proprietary Apex imaging technology deliver better cleaning based on comparison testing.
Veronica "Ronee" Hagen, Chief Executive Officer "Spinlace fabrics answer a critical demand in the market for a new category of high-performance, value-added materials".
PGI developed Spinlace fabrics to bridge the gap between value and performance in wipes.
Using a more efficient process that eliminates carded manufacturing steps, PGI is combining continuous filament, pulp and its proprietary Apex imaging technology to achieve the performance attributes customers want at competitive prices.
PGI can custom design attributes from softness to strength and liquid dispersability right into its material at lower weights to meet customers' requests.
