Curacell, recently developed using Strato5 patented technology from Albis Nonwovens, is a sandwich construction nonwoven that can be manufactured without a single drop of water. This method results in tremendous energy savings as well as relief from the threat of mold, fungus and bacteria, either during the production cycle or due to incorrect storage or while being converted into wipes.

Made from two external layers of polypropylene spunbond containing two well-linked internal layers of cellulose, which ensure a completely lint free substance, Curacell is suitable for both wet and dry wipes, towels, pads and several industrial applications.

An added benefit to this technology is its ability to meet a worldwide trend toward saving water and preventing pollution and waste.
Future generations of Curacell will have an even more attractive environmental profile. By next year, in some products, the polypropylene layers will be replaced with polylactic acid.
