Product Overview
Unlike conventional polyester spunlace nonwoven fabrics, this specially developed material is designed for use in disinfectant wipes formulated with hypochlorous acid (HOCl).
Hypochlorous acid solutions can react with certain organic substances and chemical additives, potentially affecting their active chlorine content and overall stability. Therefore, selecting a suitable nonwoven substrate is an important consideration when developing HOCl-based disinfectant wipes.
D-Tex has developed a 100% polyester spunlace fabric with a built-in hydrophilic treatment process. This treatment provides the material with the liquid absorption capacity required for wet wipe applications while minimizing its interaction with hypochlorous acid solutions.
The material is designed to minimize active chlorine consumption and avoid the use of nitrogen-containing chemical substances in its hydrophilic treatment system. By reducing unnecessary chemical interactions between the substrate and the solution, it helps preserve the stability of the hypochlorous acid formulation.
Key Features of Hypochlorous Acid Compatible Spunlace
1. Designed for Hypochlorous Acid Compatibility
This material is specifically developed for HOCl-based disinfectant wipes rather than general-purpose wet wipes. Its treatment system is designed to reduce unwanted reactions between the nonwoven substrate and the hypochlorous acid solution.
2. Low Active Chlorine Consumption
One of its key advantages is its low interaction with hypochlorous acid solutions. The material is designed not to significantly consume active chlorine, helping maintain the solution's available chlorine content during storage.
3. Built-in Hydrophilic Treatment
Unlike conventional surface-applied hydrophilic treatments, this material uses a fiber-integrated hydrophilic treatment process. It provides the liquid absorption performance needed for wet wipes while minimizing the introduction of additional chemical substances that may affect HOCl stability.
4. No Nitrogen-Containing Chemical Additives
The hydrophilic treatment system does not use nitrogen-containing chemical additives. This is an important consideration for applications where the chemical compatibility of the nonwoven substrate is critical to maintaining disinfectant solution stability.
5. Supports Long-Term Product Stability
By minimizing the interaction between the wipe substrate and the hypochlorous acid solution, this material helps support the long-term stability of the finished product. Depending on the disinfectant formulation, packaging system and validated storage conditions, finished wipes can achieve a shelf life of up to 24 months in sealed packaging.
Applications
This specialized polyester spunlace is primarily designed as a substrate for various hypochlorous acid disinfectant wipes, including:
· Surface Disinfectant Wipes: Suitable for wipes formulated with HOCl solutions for routine surface disinfection.
· Household Disinfectant Wipes: For consumer cleaning and disinfection products using hypochlorous acid as the primary active ingredient.
· Commercial and Institutional Disinfectant Wipes: For professional cleaning and disinfection applications where maintaining solution stability is an important product requirement.
· Specialized HOCl Wet Wipes: Suitable for manufacturers developing different formats and applications of hypochlorous acid-based wet wipes.
A Specialized Substrate for HOCl-Based Wet Wipes
The performance of a disinfectant wipe depends not only on its liquid formulation but also on the compatibility between the solution and the nonwoven substrate.
D-Tex's hypochlorous acid compatible polyester spunlace provides a specialized material option for wet wipe manufacturers seeking to minimize active chlorine consumption and maintain solution stability throughout product storage. It offers a material solution specifically developed around the chemical compatibility requirements of HOCl-based disinfectant wipes.
