Cellulose sponge, also known as wood fiber sponge, is an international new type of cleaning material, which is green and environmentally friendly. It replaces the original PU sponge, PVA sponge and other pollution-containing cleaning materials.

It is used in the printing and plate industry, food and catering industry, Electronic assembly industry, photography industry, beauty and body industry, metal rust prevention industry, clean room operation, moisturizing packaging industry, medical industry, safety assembly industry, household industry, automobile industry, ceramic industry, construction industry, leak-proof packaging industry, air Press dehumidification, emergency drying of the stadium, etc.

With the gradual enhancement of people's environmental protection awareness and the gradual improvement of living standards, wood fiber sponges have been used more and more widely in many fields around the world.

The differences between cellulose sponge and sponge:

1. Definations are different

Sponge: A porous material with good water absorption and can be used to clean items.

Cellulose sponge (wood fiber): Organic flocculent fiber material obtained by chemical treatment and mechanical processing of natural renewable wood.

2. The two manufacturing materials are different

Sponge: Mainly produced by foamed plastic polymer or polyester. There are also natural sponges made of sponge animals.

Cellulose Sponges (wood fiber): Chemically treated from natural renewable wood.

3. Different applications

Sponge: Widely used in Packaging, has a good water absorption and can be used for cleaning items. Natural sponges mainly used for skincare.

Cellulose Sponge (wood fiber): Excellent water absorption, Used in industries like beauty, cleaning, printing, promotional items, handicrafts, sports, etc.

4. The characteristics of the two are different

Sponge: Polyurethane soft foam rubber. Polyurethane is the most common polymer material in life. It has shock-absorbing and anti-friction properties.

cellulose sponge (wood fiber): non-toxic, odorless, non-polluting, non-radioactive, insoluble in water, thermal insulation, and structural viscosity.

5. The specific applications of the two are different

Sponge: can be used as shoe soles, tractor tank track substrate; can be used as swivel chair sofa cushions, back cotton; can be used as flame retardant fire extinguishers.

Wood pulp cotton (wood fiber):

It is widely used in concrete mortar, gypsum products, asphalt roads and other fields. It has good effects on preventing coating cracking, improving water retention, improving production stability and construction suitability, increasing strength, and enhancing adhesion to the surface. Its technical functions are mainly: thixotropy, protection, absorption, carrier and filler.

Due to the capillary action of the fiber structure, the water inside the system is quickly transferred to the surface and interface of the slurry, so that the water inside the slurry is evenly distributed to significantly reduce the phenomenon of skinning. And make the bond strength and surface strength obviously increase, this mechanism also obviously plays a role of crack resistance due to the reduction of tension during the drying process.

The dimensional stability and thermal stability of wood fibers play a good role in thermal insulation and anti-cracking in thermal insulation materials.
