Microfiber is a material that is used in many industries, and it continues to increase in popularity simply because of its effectiveness. This material is created from finely woven polyester and polymide fibers, both of which are man-made materials. Polyester gives microfiber its durability, while polymide gives it greater softness. The combination of these materials, as well as the manufacturing process, create a material that stands up to rigorous use and is also suitable for detailing.
Manufacturing microfiber
Before reaching suppliers, AMMEX microfiber towels go through a lengthy manufacturing process that begins with yarning and advanced warp knitting. The material is then dried, dyed, lint fixed, ironed, rolled, cut and hemmed.
The manufacturing process creates spaces and channels in the microfiber material that pick up and hold dirt, grime and water. As a result, you often do not need to use chemicals when cleaning with a microfiber towel and the material holds liquids without absorbing them completely.
The ratio of polyester to polymide material is a key consideration when selecting microfiber towels. Most companies sell a 70/30 blend of polyester to polymide, but AMMEX sells 80/20, creating a more durable blend that is suitable for a wider variety of tasks.
“Microfiber doesn’t absorb liquids; it holds them.”
Benefits of microfiber
Many organizations seek out microfiber for cleaning purposes because of its unique properties. First of all, microfiber does not completely absorb liquids; it merely holds them. This ability makes microfiber towels reusable, while other types of materials would need to be thrown out. Because the towels don’t absorb liquid, they won’t collect bacteria.
Microfiber towels are effectively used in cleaning and detailing, especially in the automotive industry. These towels are durable and withstand more washes than other materials. Unlike rougher materials, microfiber will not scratch paint on cars or leave lint behind. They are ideal for use on glass and other glossy surfaces.
While microfiber towels are particularly popular in the automotive industry, they are used in any situation where cleanup is needed, such as janitorial work, housekeeping, daycare, hospitals and more. Workers in these situations benefit from microfiber because it does not collect bacteria and can be used repeatedly.
AMMEX’s microfiber towels contain 200,000 fibers per square inch, holding 7 times their weight in liquid. Each towel is 16 x 16, reusable and comes in four different colors: blue, green, white or yellow.
