    Bulk:


 

Illustrated are 8 sheets of unprocessed and processed spunlace. The processed webs have 3 times the caliper of the unprocessed. Comparing two stacks of wipes of the same weight, the Micrex Processed wipes have over 15% more volume when wet (under certain process conditions).

Why bulk is important:

More volume translates to more absorbency. In fact, an equal weight of spunlace will absorb and retain over 20% more fluid. This translates to significant performance increase and / or cost savings.

Even as much lower levels of compaction, dramatic increases of bulk are possible.
