NonWovens & Dry Wipes
Nonwovens have become an important substrate for many specialty consumer products. Producers are expanding their reach for nonwoven products as they refine the manufacturing process and develop their product lines.
Consumer products companies often need the nonwoven to carry some kind of chemical in a dry state to be activated by water at the end-user. Sierra® has worked to make this process economical, ensuring a high quality standard.
Dry Wipes
Sierra adds chemical coatings or bulk cleaners to nonwovens for consumer products companies and industrial products manufacturers. Application of functional surface coatings include:
- Health and beauty wipes and cosmetic wipes require high regulatory standards.
- Sierra has voluntary registration and compliance with the FDA.
- Sierra has Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP) in place.
- All GMP's can be adjusted to meet your needs.
- Independent pest control.
- Independent air quality testing for molds and yeasts.
- Wipes with cleaners
- Household wipes
- Industrial wipes
Lamination
Laminating nonwovens to films or papers can also create new substrates with attributes of the two substrates. Nonwovens have a soft texture, and the film or paper adds print surfaces or opacity.
Capabilities For Coating of Nonwovens
- Variable roll widths
- Aqueous coatings can be coated to 60 inches.
- Hot melt coatings can be coated to 47 inches.
- End products can be slit to narrow rolls for further converting.
- Saturation and drying to specific moisture levels.
