Freudenberg’s Evolon lightweight industrial wipes has been selected as one of the three finalists in the Roll Goods category at IDEA16 in Boston. Evolon 3D revolutionary pattern combines the benefits of high strengths of microfilaments with the convenience of disposable items to develop its range of lightweight wipe substrates.

Evolon wipes offers best cleaning performance due to the fineness and density of the microfilaments. Evolon lightweight wipes are designed for highly demanding applications requiring the best surface preservation.

Endless microfilaments make Evolon lint-free, strong, mechanically stable and isotropic, providing extended durability and stability in use for dry or wet disposable and semi-disposable lightweight wipes. Wipes using the Evolon technology provide an outstanding cleaning performance and absorb up to 4 times their weight of water and 8 times their weight of oil.

Evolon microfilament wipes are 1.5 to 2 times lighter than the lightweight wipes traditionally obtained using conventional processes. Design and patterning flexibility includes flat, mesh or the new 3D structures.

“The pattern was originally a more stringent subject in consumer markets, but we are more and more required by the industrial market to provide unique-looking products with superior cleaning performance. Evolon is fit for this too,” said Jean Francois Kerhault, business segment manager Evolon.

“Evolon is also resistant to peroxide-based disinfectant, unlike some other competitive materials. This brings a significant advantage to our customers, by allowing them to use a wider variety of cleaning agents,” added Kerhault. (NA)
