Materials of Wet Wipes

Wet wipes are primarily made of non-woven fabric, with spunlace non-woven fabric being the most common component. This is a blend of viscose fiber (rayon) and polyester fiber (polyester). Common materials include: 100% cotton, viscose fiber, and polyester blends. High-quality wet wipes typically use a high proportion of viscose or cotton, resulting in a softer feel and better absorbency. Low-cost wet wipes are usually primarily polyester, which can cause environmental pollution and has a slightly stiffer feel.

Specific Material Classifications:

Regular Wet Wipes (Viscose + Polyester): Most wet wipes use this material, combining the absorbency of viscose with the strength of polyester.

Premium/Baby Wipes (Pure Cotton/100% Viscose): Soft to the touch, gentle on the skin, non-irritating, and suitable for delicate skin.

Biodegradable/Flushable Wet Wipes (Wood Pulp/Fiber): Made with virgin wood pulp, lyocell fiber, etc., water-soluble, and more environmentally friendly.

Wet Strength Paper: Commonly used for lens cleaning wipes, tough, durable, and lint-free.

Selection Recommendations:

To ensure skin safety, it is recommended to choose products labeled as using “spunlace nonwoven fabric” or natural plant fibers (such as cotton or viscose), and avoid products containing alcohol, fragrances, or excessive preservatives.
