What is cellulose sponge?

Cellulose sponges are porous, highly absorbent materials made of cellulose. Cellulose is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is a major component of plant cell walls and can be extracted from plant sources such as wood, cotton, and hemp. The production of cellulosic sponges usually involves chemically and physically processing cellulose fibers to form sponges with open pore structures that give them excellent water absorption and retention capabilities.

What are the advantages of cellulose sponges?

1. Environmental protection: The significant advantage lies in its biodegradability. These sponges can be decomposed by natural microorganisms after use, reducing pollution to the environment.

2. Natural sources: Cellulose, as the main component, is derived from abundant natural resources such as wood and cotton, which makes the product more sustainable.

3. Harmlessness: Because they are natural materials, they usually do not contain heavy metals, harmful chemicals, friendly to the skin, no irritation.

4. Good water absorption: Cellulose has a good ability to absorb water, making this kind of sponge very suitable for cleaning, water absorption and other applications, such as kitchen cleaning, bathroom supplies.

5. Light and strong: Cellulose fibers have a low density and provide good specific strength, meaning they are lightweight while maintaining a certain durability.

What can cellulose sponges be used for?

Medical field: As a hemostatic material and wound dressing, it can promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection due to its good absorbability, biocompatibility and degradability.

Care products: Used to make makeup pads, makeup remover pads, wipes, etc. These products directly contact the skin, natural materials reduce irritation, and can be naturally degraded after use, reducing environmental burden.

Packaging materials: as a buffer material or disposable packaging, especially for the protection of vulnerable products, it can effectively absorb shocks and prevent collisions, and reduce the impact of packaging waste on the environment.

Furniture and textiles: Although it is less common to use it directly to make compressed furniture, it can be used as a filling material for cushions, pillows, cushions, etc., to increase comfort while maintaining environmental characteristics.

Environmentally friendly industrial products: used as filter materials for water treatment or air purification, and as disposable experimental supplies in laboratories.
