< TECHNICAL INFORMATION >
Numerous materials and designs were very carefully considered and field-tested before selecting and committing to the properties and elements that make our Green Bag™ range. Critical in our thinking of course was that the materials we selected were safe, to both humans and the environment, re-usable and 100% recyclable. There is little point however in achieving these features if they cannot be produced in efficient quantities and at prices that are affordable to the community. The use of non-woven polypropylene (NWPP) offered us all of these characteristics and more.
Polypropylene is not an entirely new material and is currently widely used in the production of medical garments such as surgical gowns, caps, masks and gloves.
> Technical Features
- NWPP is composed of fine fibres and reinforced by heat-sealing, spun bonded fabrics which improve the softness to touch.
- NWPP is lighter than that of polyester and nylon but is still far stronger and sturdier than both.
- NWPP fibre has excellent chemical resistance from corrosion so its physical properties will not be affected by any chemicals or solvents.
- NWPP is made from hydrophobic polypropylene materials, making it water repellent, machine washable and also has an excellent air permeability.
- NWPP complies with FDA regulations, contains no toxic materials, no odour and will no cause allergy to human skin.
- All dyes used are not harmful and are colour fast.
