Why absorbent weight matters?

September 14, 2024

More Weight = Better Quality & Better Absorption capacity, further details as follows.

Absorbent Pads & Rolls  –  Absorbent products’ weight plays a crucial role in performance and liquid absorbing capacity  –  Even a slight reduction in weight, by a few hundred grams, indicates lower absorption capability, leading to the need for multiple absorbents instead of just one. Therefore, it’s essential to measure the weight without packaging (without carton) to ensure you’re getting the right product. We’ve encountered several manufacturers who misrepresent their products as having higher capacity, despite being lighter.  We strongly doubt these claims, as it’s impossible to achieve greater absorbency without using more raw material which increases the weight of final product.

 

Filled products (Absorbent Booms, Socks & Pillows)  –  Apart from product weight, there are other factors to consider while evaluating the quality of filled products.  A filled product with thicker outer cover might look better, but it does not perform well real-world situations.  The outer cover must be thin yet strong enough to maximize the absorption efficiency & to hold the absorbed liquid.  Filled product’s performance depends on how quickly and how much it absorbs when in contact with spilled liquid, thicker covers slow down absorption timing and prevent the liquid from effectively reaching the inner pulp.

 

It would be easier for us to work with knockoff manufacturers to produce lower quality products and flood the market. However, we have chosen the more challenging way of educating our customers about the significant differences in quality, by doing so, we ensure that our customers are fully informed and understand exactly what they are purchasing. Our goal is to help them make well-informed decisions, prioritizing long-term value and performance over short-term savings offered by substandard alternatives.
