The annual award recognises the product that most expands the use of nonwovens and demonstrates creativity, novelty, uniqueness and technical sophistication within the entire nonwoven wipe value chain.

All finalists will present their products and the award winner will be announced during the World of Wipes (WOW) International Conference that will be held from 2-5 June at The Depot Renaissance Hotel, Minneapolis, MN.

Finalists

The INDA Technical Advisory Board, INDA’s President, Technical Director and industry members from the wipes market segment selected the following product finalists among a dozen international product nominations:

New Flushable Substrate Patterning Process, from Andritz

A new patterning process applies a special and unique artwork onto flushable wipes allowing wipes producers to differentiate their product and show the correct disposal method with consumer friendly branding.

The company says the key value proposition is that the process adds a pattern without increasing fibre bonding, thus facilitating wet-strength release when flushed.

Minwax Wood Finishing Cloths, from Pacon Manufacturing

A do-it-yourself game-changer, according to the company, the product is a new way to stain and finish wood.

Minwax Wood Finishing Cloths take the convenience of a one-step wiping stain and finish to a new level. The company promises everything the consumer needs for fast, easy one-step wood finishing is included in one handy package – even plastic gloves.

New Nice-Pak Moist Flushable Wipe, from Nice-Pak Products

Nice-Pak Products announces the launch of the first commercial, moist flushable wipe made with a manufacturing technology that uses 100% plant-based fibres.

The company says the product delivers consumer-preferred strength while requiring less energy to disperse.

Sertun Rechargeable Sanitizer Indicator Towels, from ITW Professional Brands

An innovative nonwoven rechargeable food service towel indicates when the towel is cleaning.  Sertun Rechargeable Sanitizer Indicator Towels will take the guesswork out of sanitizing, the company reports.

Food service professionals can be sure they’re effectively sanitizing any surface with revolutionary Color Check Technology built into every Sertun Towel.
