In baby care products, the performance of wet wipes fabric is directly related to the safety and comfort of use, and the flushability property puts forward special requirements on the physical properties of the material. As a high-performance viscose fiber, the core advantage of lyocell fiber is first reflected in the guarantee of wet strength. Baby wet wipes must be in a wet state during use. If the wet strength of the fabric is insufficient, it is very easy to cause problems such as damage and linting, which not only affects the cleaning effect, but also may cause the fiber to remain on the surface of the baby's skin, causing discomfort. Lyocell fiber can maintain a stable physical form after absorbing water through optimized molecular structure design, avoiding structural damage caused by external friction. Lyocell fiber can maintain its original dimensional accuracy in a wet state due to its unique fiber structure, ensuring that the wet wipes always remain flat during use.
Special advantages of the combination of lyocell fiber and wood pulp fiber
It is often difficult for a single fiber material to simultaneously meet the multiple needs of baby wet wipes, but the scientific ratio of lyocell fiber and wood pulp fiber forms a complementary and synergistic material combination. Wood pulp fiber itself has excellent water absorption capacity, but when used alone, it has low wet strength and tends to disperse too quickly in water, making it difficult to meet the core requirement of flushability. The addition of lyocell fiber just makes up for this shortcoming. The flushable fabric for baby wet wipes formed by the combination of the two retains the characteristics of wood pulp fiber's high-speed water absorption and efficient water lock, and through the support of lyocell fiber, ensures that the fabric can still maintain structural integrity in a wet state. Both fibers are derived from natural plant raw materials and can be completely degraded through biological action in the natural environment. The entire life cycle from raw materials to waste treatment is in line with the concept of environmental protection, avoiding the long-term burden of traditional chemical fiber materials on the environment.
Composite fabrics achieve a balance between flushability and skin care
The core contradiction of flushable baby wipes is that they must ensure smooth dispersion in the water flow to avoid pipe blockage, while providing sufficient softness and safety when in contact with the delicate skin of babies. The composite structure of lyocell fiber and wood pulp fiber cleverly solves this contradiction through hydrogen bonding and pore design between fibers. In a dry state, the two fibers interweave to form a stable network structure, giving the fabric a fluffy and soft touch. This texture has a high affinity with baby skin and can reduce the irritation caused by friction. It is especially suitable for newborns and babies with sensitive skin. When the fabric enters the water environment, the bonding force between the fibers will gradually weaken with the penetration of water, causing the fabric to naturally decompose into fine fibers. These fibers can be quickly decomposed by microorganisms in the sewage treatment system and will not form pipe siltation. Composite fabrics do not need to add chemical additives such as fluorescent agents and formaldehyde during the production process. Their natural fiber properties themselves have good antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of baby skin contact with irritants.
Extended advantages of flushable fabric for baby wet wipes in baby care scenarios
In addition to the core performance and environmental advantages, the composite fabric of lyocell fiber and wood pulp fiber also shows multiple adaptability in actual care scenarios. Its excellent water-locking performance allows the wet wipes to remain moist for a long time after opening, reducing the problem of drying and hardening caused by water evaporation, and extending the effective use cycle of the product. In an environment with large temperature changes, the stability of the fabric will not be significantly affected. Whether it is high temperature in summer or low temperature in winter, it can maintain consistent softness and feel. For parents, this flushable fabric for baby wet wipes also simplifies the care process. The used wet wipes do not need to be separately classified and discarded, but can be directly flushed with water, saving time for garbage disposal and avoiding odors that may be generated by waste accumulation. In the outing scene, the portable packaged wet wipes are matched with this high-performance fabric to meet the sudden cleaning needs of babies, such as cleaning of hands, face and buttocks. Its gentle texture and efficient cleaning ability are combined to provide comprehensive care protection for babies.
