UK's Harrisons launches sustainable, high-performance wipes collection
Harrisons, a leading manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, announces the launch of the Industrial Range: a collection of high-performance wipes created to support industry. Harrisons has launched a new Industrial Range of nonwoven wipes. The Industrial Range was designed utilising the Harrisons' in-house lab against key performance indicators: absorption, wet and dry strength, and lint control. The range is available in three tiers: Technical, Premium and Pro, with each tier including three high performance wipes. Harrisons took a rigorous, science-driven approach to developing the range, starting with an in-depth analysis of customer needs across various sectors. Each wipe was then tested in the Harrisons in-house lab for absorption, wet and dry strength, and lint control, to guarantee superior performance. Harrisons has launched its science-driven Industrial Range of wipes, featuring Technical, Premium, and Pro tiers to meet diverse industrial cleaning needs. Tested for performance and sustainability, the range supports critical sectors like aerospace and food processing. A new product selector tool simplifies choosing the right wipe, reinforcing Harrisons' commitment to operational excellence. The Industrial Range consists of three tiers, each engineered to deliver targeted performance: Technical: made from Sontara materials renowned for their superior performance, these wipes are designed for specialist applications where there is no room for failure. They offer ultra-low linting, hyper absorbency, and exceptional durability, making them ideal for safety critical environments such as aerospace and food processing, as well highly sensitive environments like printing and pharmaceutical production. And, for a more sustainable solution, the Tech 100 offers a plastic-free composition made with compostable cellulosic fibres. Premium: engineered for tough wiping tasks, these wipes offer great performance and value. With extra strength and superior absorption, they are excellent for removing grease, oil, and grime in industrial settings. The Prem 100, made from 55% wood pulp and 45% lyocell, helps reduce environmental impact. Pro: versatile, cost-effective solutions for everyday cleaning, these wipes boast reliable performance for general maintenance, tool cleaning, and surface wiping. Each tier offers three wipes with unique strengths to ensure there is a product suited to every industrial cleaning need. Stephen Harrison, Managing Director at Harrisons , said: 'The Harrisons Industrial Range is more than just a collection of wipes — it is a commitment to helping industry achieve excellence. The Industrial Range will help businesses focus on their core operations without being hindered by rags or subpar cleaning products.' As part of the launch of the range, Harrisons have created a product selector tool to simplify the decision-making process - so anyone can find the right wipe for their business in just 4 clicks. The new range comes after a period of significant progression for Harrisons, which recently acquired the business and assets of Ecotech, and established a new partnership with warehousing and logistics provider, Magnum Logistics.
