This is how TYMUS wet wipes are made

Introduction:

Wet wipes have become an essential part of our lives, from cleaning up spills and messes to personal hygiene. But have you ever wondered how they are made?

What are wet wipes made of?

The materials used to make wet wipes can vary depending on their intended use. However, most wet wipes contain a combination of the following:

Non-woven fabric: This is the main component of wet wipes and is what gives them their softness and strength. Non-woven fabric is made from fibers that are bonded together using heat or chemicals. The most common fibers used in wet wipes are polyester and viscose blend, 100% viscose, there are also some brands using bamboo fiber, soy fiber.

Water: Wet wipes are soaked in a solution that typically contains water, a mild detergent, and other additives such as fragrances or preservatives, aloe, Glycerin, Chamomile etc.

Plastic resins: Some wet wipes may contain plastic resins such as polypropylene, which can help to reinforce the fabric and make it more durable.

How are flushable wet wipes made?

Flushable wet wipes are designed to disintegrate quickly when they come into contact with water.  To achieve this, they are made using a combination of materials that are biodegradable and can break down easily. The manufacturing process for flushable wet wipes is similar to that of regular wet wipes, with the following key differences:

Biodegradable fibers: Flushable wet wipes are made from biodegradable fibers such as cellulose or bamboo, which can break down quickly in water.

Water-soluble binders: The fibers in flushable wet wipes are held together using water-soluble binders such as polyvinyl alcohol. These binders dissolve in water, allowing the wipes to break apart easily.

Thicker fabric: To prevent the wipes from falling apart during use, flushable wet wipes are typically made from thicker fabric than regular wet wipes. This thicker fabric also helps to trap solids and prevent them from clogging pipes.
