Hydrotek is made from a soft wood pulp. The fibres are wet-formed and then entangled together using high-pressure water jets to mechanically entangle the fibers together The energy imparted by the water jets is important in increasing the strength with higher inputted energy leading to higher strength.
The fibre composition allows the wipes to be highly absorbent whilst maintaining multi directional strength. The material can hold up to five times its own weight in liquid.
