What is the difference between the raw materials used to make dry and wet paper towels?

Nonwoven fabric is a kind of fabric formed without spinning and weaving. It is made by directly bonding fibers by physical (mechanical, thermal bonding) or chemical methods. Nonwoven fabrics can be made from a variety of raw materials. Depending on the method of manufacture, nonwoven fabrics are divided into many types.

Hydroentanglement nonwoven fabrics are made by spraying a high-pressure micro-fine water jet onto one or more layers of the fiber web, which entangles the fibers with each other, thus reinforcing the fiber web and providing it with a certain degree of strength. It ensures an exceptionally soft and thick feel with a certain tensile strength. Other nonwovens are made by melt-bonding and spun-bonding processes. In addition to the processing factors, the quality of non-woven fabrics is also determined by the choice of raw materials, which is generally not indicated in the list of ingredients, so mothers can only choose through a comprehensive judgment of other ingredients.

The content of the liquid in the wipes is generally about 80%. If the content is too low wet wipes will feel drier, on the contrary, if the content is too high will feel too wet, and they are not convenient to use. So after testing, the proportion of liquid is usually around 80% is most suitable. And more than 90% of the liquid is water, to avoid the ingredients in the water and the liquid ingredients reacting, the water used in the wet wipes must be specially treated water. Ingredient list labeled ‘refined water’ ‘pure water’ ‘RO water’ is the meaning.

There are a variety of additives in wet wipes, and the difference is greatest among brands of wet wipes. Most of the additives are labeled with chemical names, which are not readable by the average consumer. In fact, although the use of different supplies, but the role is similar, the key is what these raw materials are used
