Consumer and industrial wipes are essential for everyday cleaning tasks—from household dusting to heavy-duty scrubbing. These products must deliver strength, durability, and versatility while remaining cost-effective. Reinforcement netting is a game-changer, enabling wipes to perform better without adding complexity or cost.
Market needs and technical requirements
The wipes market demands products that combine superior cleaning performance with manufacturing efficiency.
To meet these expectations, materials need:
- High strength & tear resistance for durability during use.
- Electrostatic properties to attract dust and dirt in dry wipes.
- Controlled abrasiveness for gentle or aggressive cleaning.
- Design flexibility for multi-layer integration and pocket formation.
- Compatibility with high-speed processing for cost efficiency.
Manufacturers also require reinforcement solutions that reduce material usage, streamline lamination, and maintain breathability for wet and dry applications.
Our solution: heat-activated adhesive reinforcement netting
Conwed’s Thermanet™ heat-activated reinforcement netting is engineered to bond and strengthen wipes during manufacturing – creating a composite that combines scrubbing power, durability, and versatility in one solution.
Key features include:
- Integrated adhesive layer for seamless bonding of nonwovens, sponges, and films.
- Customizable patterns and thickness for tailored cleaning power.
- Low activation temperature for reduced energy costs and faster line speeds.
It is designed with integral joints that provide strength to your material and help maintain dimensional stability to products. In addition, the joints create a consistent web for a cleaner and smoother manufacturing process. Conwed’s single source capabilities allow for total composites to be supplied for instant implementation into your product line.
The adhesive is part this netting and will bond and strengthen your product. Customers use Thermanet™ for slip-resistance, scrubbing, gripping and adding or removing friction. You get the desired characteristics of Thermanet™ and an adhesive component on one or two sides of the material. Its capabilities allow you to bond materials with tissue, paper, nonwovens and films to add value to your products.
Benefits for End Users
Our netting enhances the cleaning experience by adding texture for better stain removal and electrostatic properties for dust attraction. Reinforced wipes resist tearing and snagging, making them more durable and reliable. Whether for household cleaning or industrial scrubbing, users enjoy wipes that are lightweight, easy to handle, and effective across multiple applications.
Benefits for Manufacturers
For manufacturers, Thermanet™ simplifies production and reduces costs. Its integrated adhesive eliminates separate bonding steps, while low activation temperatures cut energy consumption. Customizable configurations allow flexibility for different wipe types, and high-speed compatibility ensures improved productivity. The result: stronger products, streamlined processes, and better margins.
