AQUASORB – One of the World’s Most Advanced Fabrics
AQUASORB is developed from a unique blend of high-quality polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibres that have been split during manufacturing. The split fibre creates a larger surface area which gives them the ability to absorb significantly higher amounts of liquid.
The split fibre structure also creates microscopic recesses which more effectively trap soil particles. The fine crevasses, shown in the illustration, allow for soil and liquid to penetrate the splits, trapping the debris. The standard fibre (unsplit fibre) cloths have much smaller surface area and a very limited absorption capacity.
