Wipers 'stronger than ever'
October 1st 2006 SCA Tissue Europe has upgraded its high volume industrial wipers to make them stronger, bulkier and more absorbent than ever before.Tork Advanced 400 wipers are part of a logical new brand assortment aimed at making it easier for distributors to sell – and industrial managers to buy – Tork wipers. The Tork Advanced 400 series comprises three grades – 420, 430, and 440 – which together replace the previous Tork Advanced range. "We have changed the manufacturing process and significantly improved the strength, absorbency and bulk of Tork Advanced wipers," said SCA Tissue Europe's product and market manager Mark Riley."As a result the Tork Advanced series is now more versatile than ever and the wipers can be used for almost any medium-duty wiping or cleaning application." The upgraded wipers have a patented 'swirl' pattern that gives them an attractive, distinctive appearance while offering a practical benefit. The wipers are firmly glued together only at the pattern points which means that less glue is used than with other glue embossed wipers and the material is both softer and more environmentally friendly. The use of Through Air Dried tissue in the manufacture of Tork Advanced 420 and 430 wipers also increases their softness and bulk. Tests have shown the new products to be around 30 per cent stronger, bulkier and more absorbent than SCA's previous Tork Advanced range. "Tork Advanced 400 wipers offer cost in use benefits, too, since they are highly durable and absorb more liquid – and do it faster – than ever," said Mark."The added bulk of the wipers makes them feel more substantial in the hand and this deters users from taking more product than they need." Tork Advanced 400 wipers are stronger both when wet and when dry, which means that fewer wipers are required to carry out the same tasks.They are also more lightweight than their predecessors for ease of transport. Available in both blue and white,Tork Advanced 400 wipers are food contact approved and ISEGA certified for HACCP compliance.They also adhere to the new EPD European environmental product directive. The Tork wiping range now consists of three different grades: Tork Premium 500,Tork Advanced 400 and Tork Universal 300.Tork Premium 500 wipers are non-woven products for multiple use, while Tork Advanced 400 wipers are made from TAD tissue and Tork Universal 300 products are made from dry crepe. Both the 400 and 300 series are intended for single use. More articles from SCA Hygiene Products UK Ltd: |
