VEOCEL™'s Lyocell Fibers for Enhanced Cleaning Take Center Stage at World of Wipes 2025
VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are engineered to improve wiping performance through stronger and denser fabrics and enhance the end-user experience. These fibers ensure , helping to reduce excess dripping and provide greater control during cleaning. Compared to fossil-based alternatives, each wipe can , offering significantly improved disinfecting efficacy.
A key factor contributing to the performance of these new VEOCEL™ fibers is their compatibility with active or functional ingredients commonly used in disinfectants such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats). While many other cellulosic fibers require additional chemical treatments to achieve similar functionality, VEOCEL™ fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are designed through careful selection of raw materials and optimized production methods to exhibit minimal and consistent binding to active ingredients. This seemingly simple yet impactful advancement in fiber properties allows VEOCEL™'s cellulosic fibers to be used in applications previously dominated by plastic-based materials.
In addition, these fibers provide excellent , maintaining structural integrity even at lower basis weights. Altogether, these characteristics make them exceptionally well-suited for demanding cleaning environments—from household and personal care to institutional and industrial settings.
All VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers are wood-based and biodegradable , produced in a closed-loop, resource-efficient process with low emissions to air and water . The Enhanced Cleaning variant maintains these high environmental standards while delivering superb technical performance.
"With the introduction of our VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning, we are unleashing new possibilities for our customers to choose cellulosic fibers in disinfecting wipes, empowering excellent performance while advancing their commitment to environmental responsibility," said Patricia A. Sargeant , Executive Vice President Nonwovens at Lenzing AG.
