Flushable Wipes Substrate White Plain Lyocell Spunlace Nonwoven

Creating a successful flushable wipe is more challenging than producing a standard wet wipe. The material needs to remain strong during use while dispersing quickly after disposal. If the substrate is too strong, it may not disperse properly. If it disperses too easily, it may tear during use.

Weston's Flushable Wipes Substrate is developed to achieve this balance. Manufactured from a blend of 70% wood pulp and 30% lyocell fibers, this white plain spunlace nonwoven offers softness, high liquid absorbency, reliable wet strength, and fast dispersibility for premium flushable wipe applications.

With tested dispersibility performance of approximately 35 seconds, the material is suitable for brands developing high-quality flushable personal care and household hygiene products.

Ideal for:

1. Flushable toilet wipes
2. Personal hygiene wipes
3. Flushable Baby wipes
4. Feminine hygiene wipes
5. Adult care wipes
6. Household cleansing wipes
7. OEM and private label wet wipes

Common Challenges When Developing Flushable Wipes

Many manufacturers face similar problems when selecting a flushable wipe substrate.

Common Challenge	Impact on Final Product
Wet strength is too low	Wipes tear during use
Wet strength is too high	Poor dispersibility after flushing
Slow water breakup	Higher risk of pipe blockage
Poor absorbency	Uneven lotion distribution
Rough fabric surface	Less comfortable user experience
Difficult converting	Reduced production efficiency

Our wood pulp and lyocell spunlace structure is engineered to balance these performance requirements, helping manufacturers develop premium flushable wipes with reliable converting performance.

Why This Material Performs Well

Unlike conventional spunlace nonwovens designed mainly for durability, this substrate is engineered specifically for flushable wipe applications.

Soft and Comfortable

Lyocell fibers provide a smooth surface and pleasant hand feel, making the material suitable for personal care and skin-contact products.

Rapid Water Dispersibility

Wood pulp fibers promote fiber separation after flushing while maintaining sufficient integrity during normal use.

High Liquid Absorbency

Excellent absorbency allows lotions and cleaning solutions to spread evenly throughout the wipe.

Reliable Wet Strength

The substrate maintains sufficient strength during wiping while remaining capable of rapid dispersion under appropriate testing conditions.

Efficient Processing

The plain spunlace structure runs smoothly on converting equipment for folding, cutting, lotion application and packaging.

Quality and Testing

Every production batch is tested according to established quality procedures.

Typical inspection items include:

• Basis weight
• Thickness
• Tensile strength
• Wet strength
• Liquid absorbency
• Absorbency speed
• Dispersibility
• Appearance inspection

Because finished flushability depends on the entire wipe system-including lotion formulation, sheet dimensions and packaging-we recommend validating the complete finished product before commercial production.
