WOW Innovation Award Nominees to Present this Afternoon
06.06.18
Diamond Wipes, Solugen and National Wiper Alliance are up for the award
At 4:30 p.m. today, the nominees for the World of Wipes Innovation Award will present their innovative creations.
The three companies vying for the award are: Diamond Wipes International’s Hero Wipes, National Wiper Alliance’s Rhino Wipe Tote System and Solugen, Inc.’s Ode to Clean Wipes.
Hero Wipes are specially formulated to remove toxic, cancer-causing carcinogens from firefighters’ skin after they exit a fire. These wipes are used on-site to decontaminate and clean the vulnerable skin of firefighters. A patent-pending balanced blend of ingredients isolates harmful chemical compounds and traps them in the tough and strong wipe. Third-party testing shows that Hero Wipes remove 98% of the toxic flame retardant TCEP and 83% of the carcinogen Benzopyrene, a component found in soot.
The Rhino Wipe Tote System features a carry handle and built-in adjustable straps to attach the water repellent container to surfaces (such as the back of a car headrest) for easy dispensing of Rhino wipes. The reusable wipes can be rinsed and reused multiple times and are binder, silicone and solvent free. The patented packaging system offers portability for on-the-go uses and convenience.
Finally, Ode to Clean Wipes are the first wipes in which the substrate and the cleaning solution (Bioperoxide) are made entirely from plant starch. The young start-up company has developed an enzymatic process that is a less expensive and more efficient way to convert plant sugars into high purity hydrogen peroxide for use in various industries starting with these green cleaning wipes.
The World of Wipes Innovation Award recognizes the winning product that both expands the use of nonwovens and demonstrates creativity, novelty, uniqueness and technical sophistication. Nominated products represent the entire nonwoven wipes value chain.
WOW attendees hold an important one-third of the vote in their hands. The INDA Technical Advisory Board and the WOW Conference Planning Committee have equal one-third votes to the attendees in determining the top company for the prize. INDA president Dave Rousse will announce the winner on Friday, June 8.
