Wipes - Enhanced Absorbency, Bulk & Softness:
Leading wiper manufacturers worldwide use the Micrex Process to add stretch, softness, bulk and drape to their dry spunlace wipes.  Bulk: Illustrated below 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).   Absorbency: 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. Hand: As with dry wipes, the Micrex Process imparts textile like quality to spunlace sheets. The Micrex Process is dry, mechanical, and operates at high speed on a specially configured Micrex/Microcreper.
