Application
Soluble hygienic products like wet wipes, tampons could solve an important sanitary issue, addressing also the consequent ecological problems.
Our Innovation
-
Polymers with appropriate mechanical properties and liquid absorbency for fast and complete solubility, when flushed into a large amount of cold water (e.g. to the sewage).
-
The polymer keeps its structural integrity and absorption capacity in body temperature while dissolves in lower temperatures.
-
Safe to use, no irritation or allergic response
Technology
-
Rendering hygienic products (wipes etc.) by polymer
-
Outstanding performance displayed by a family of developed polymers
-
Optionally, polymers’ rendering could be also biodegradable.
