PGI Announces Spinlace Roll OutPolymer Group, Inc.’s Spinlace material is being rolled out commercially for the first time by The Clorox Company in disinfectant household cleaning wipes. PGI launched Spinlace, based on continuous filament nonwovens technology, in April 2007, at IDEA07 in Miami. The Spinlace process provides added strength, absorbency, texturing and other performance characteristics that enhance cleaning in the wipes.The new Clorox wipes offer consumers a quick and easy way to effectively clean and disinfect by combining premoistened 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. PGI is showcasing the new Spinlace fabrics at booth 2131, where it also announced it would begin exporting the materials to Europe this year. “Based on the positive response this breakthrough technology has been quickly received in household cleaning wipes, we are excited to be expanding these fabrics into the European marketplace and into other categories,” said Veronica 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’ request. |
