Abstract

In this study, the strengths of wet
wipes, which are very popular in nonwoven products, have been studied. In the
first part of the study, the machine and cross direction strengths of the
standard and recycled products of the same unit weight during regular and
faulty production were tested in dry and wet conditions.  In the second part of the study, the strengths
of the standard and patterned products in the machine direction and crosswise
direction of the same unit weight were tested in dry and wet state. Study’s mathmatical
and statistical results show that in terms of sustainability, it has been
concluded that the use of recycle products can be produced in viscose /
polyester with patterned form as disposable wet wipes by increasing the unit
weight.

Keywords
