CelluPlusTM – Cleaning Sponge

Novel sponge foam with cellulose-like cleaning & wiping behavior. Delivered in customized industrial formats, special shapes & die cuts in combination with other materials, such as abrasive & non-abrasive non-wovens.

The latest contribution to our large sponge portfolio, and unique to the market, is the innovative foam CelluPlus which has been especially developed for janitorial applications. This novel foam is an ideal alternative to cellulose, as it offers hydrophilic properties for excellent water absorption and dry wiping & cleaning behaviour, similar to a cellulose sponge, but with a much higher durability as it does not disintegrate with time. It also prevents mold growth, unpleasant odors, and drying out over time.

Our customers benefit from one of the world‘s widest ranges of color-proof sponge foams. Thanks to their hydrophilic nature, our foam sponges have excellent absorption and retention properties, thus making cleaning practical and efficient. Their special absorbency is seen not only through the wiping away of dirt and moisture, but also in the soaking up of liquids.

CelluPlus Cleaning Sponge – Properties

Excellent water absorption

Thanks to the hydrophilic material properties, the absorption of the CelluPlus foam is 20 times of its dry weight.

Perfect wiping and cleaning behaviour

CelluPlus performs similar to cellulose sponges and takes up stains and spills effectively, often with only one wipe.

Higher durability

In comparison to cellulose sponges, CelluPlus has a much longer lifetime due its higher material resistance. The product does not crumble or disintegrate with time.

No unpleasant smell

CelluPlus does not trap residue and particles which normally happens with cellulose sponges. The CelluPlus material by itself prevents the growth of moulds, thus no unpleasant odor occurs.

Washable

Hygiene in the kitchen is of central importance to prevent food-borne infections. A preventive protection against the spread of germs is to wash your cleaning sponge frequently. CelluPlus foam is washable up to 75°C.

Readily available

Cellulose is subject to fluctuations on the global supply market. The raw materials used in the production of CelluPlus are not scarce and therefore are much less exposed to price volatility.
