Kimberly-Clark Professional has recently entered the premoistened surface disinfection wipes market, borrowing technologies from its consumer baby wipes and knowledge of the dry wipers markets, to fill a critical consumer need. Scott 24 Hour Sanitizing Wipes are the first wipes on the market to maintain surface sanitization for a full 24 hours, killing 99.9% of bacteria – even after multiple touches.
The product is described as a perfect marriage of a patent-protected formulation with K-C’s extensive materials’ science expertise, which spans not only the chemistry but also the base sheet, in the form of a meltblown nonwovens wipe, to deliver it.
Meltblown was chosen as the substrate material because of its optimized fibrous surface area and a unique bond pattern to ensure that the formulation is absorbed and distributed throughout the entire pore structure of the material. Additionally, optimized fluid distribution in the wipe leads to excellent controlled liquid release, wh
