Solucell Zero-Twist
Solucell is the filament yarn tailored specifically for towel manufacturers, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional production methods. While zero-twist towels have long been revered for their luxurious softness and exceptional water absorption, their conventional manufacturing process involves significant quantities of PVA-based soluble materials, posing environmental risks and potential release of harmful substances into the product itself.
Solucell is the ideal solution to replace PVA in zero-twist towel production. Solucell’s easily soluble nature, finer composition, and eco-friendly properties make it the perfect choice for crafting these luxurious towels. With Solucell, manufacturers can produce the same high-quality towels while generating less waste and exerting a more positive environmental impact.
Solucell not only enables a completely PVA-free process but also enhances all facets of production. With its meticulously crafted design, Solucell ensures that the final product remains the beloved 100% cotton, soft, and fluffy towel that consumers prefer:
- Available in fine counts, Solucell significantly reduces the usage of soluble materials by up to 55%, promoting sustainability without compromising quality.
- Thanks to its unique characteristics, Solucell-based yarns can be sized, enhancing loom efficiency for heightened productivity and reduced defects.
• Solucell’s dissolving process is versatile, accommodating a wide range of conditions, including low-temperature dissolving, and can be seamlessly integrated into the bleaching stage. This flexibility not only conserves water and energy but also enhances productivity.
• Solucell waste is transformed into a non-sticky powder form, simplifying handling in the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and reducing machine maintenance costs.
• Compared to PVA processes, Solucell reduces Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at discharge by up to 75%. Moreover, Solucell can be efficiently recovered and recycled, aligning with circular economy principles and minimizing environmental impact.
• From a safety standpoint, Solucell’s dissolving process avoids the generation of hazardous by-products such as formaldehydes, which are typical of PVA dissolving reactions. As a result, Solucell zero-twist products are Oeko-Tex certifiable and deemed safe for consumer use.
