Compressed cellulose cosmetic sponge are made from wood pulp, and the small holes inside them help to absorb liquid and hold it inside the sponge. These sponges are soft inside their sealed packaging because they are usually treated with a soap that keeps them pliable and keeps bacteria from growing inside the package.
Cellulose sponges are very inexpensive. They absorb and hold liquid well and can last through some fairly tough cleaning jobs. Cellulose sponges work well on a number of surfaces. They can even be cut into smaller sizes to provide more uses out of each sponge.
Cellulose sponges have a tendency to trap residue and particles, so they can be difficult to fully rinse out.
These same particles can lessen the life of the sponge. Cellulose sponges should never be used to wipe up raw egg or raw meat juices. For those jobs, a more disposable paper towel is a better option.
Cellulose sponges work well on dishes, countertops, bathroom surfaces, and everyday spills.
Cellulose sponges have a wide range of applications due to their absorbency, softness, and biodegradability. Here are some common uses:
Cellulose sponges are versatile, eco-friendly, and effective in many environments. They are an excellent option for people looking to reduce their reliance on synthetic or disposable cleaning products.
| Water |

| Tensile strength (wet state): | > 0,8 daN/cm² |
| Absorption : | > 20 time the dry weight |
| Dry weight / Wet volume : | > 24 kg/m3 |
| 1.High liquid absorption and retention capacity |
The unique porosity provides a large surface area with an open cell structure. Therefore, the natural cellulose sponge is able to absorb 20 to 27 times its own dry weight of water and retain this in its pore structure. The cellulose sponge will retain the liquid until this capacity is reached. This feature can also be seen with other fluids such as motor oil, petroleum, gasoline, and also diluted acid (e. g. formic acid
|
| 2.Tensile strength |
Our sponge is one of the most resistant sponge on the market. It is a huge advantage compared to cotton cloths, non-woven cloths and paper wipes.
|
| 3.Biodegradability |
Our cellulose sponge material is 100% biodegradable.
|
| 4.Chemical Resistance |
Chemical analysis has shown a good stability with several diluted acids and bases. |
| 5.Electrical conductivity |
In humid conditions the Electrical conductivity of natural cellulose sponge is outstanding. This feature is often used in electro therapy.
|
| 6.Combustibility & temperature resistance |
Cellulose sponge material is flammable although combustibility rates can vary with impregnated fluids. Thermographic analysis with cellulose shows that sponge starts to burn away at more than 300 °C.
|
| 7.Sterilization |
Our sponge can be sterilized either by gamma radiation, autoclave or ETO gas.
|
| 8.Washability |
Our cellulose sponge material is machine washable up to 95°C with detergent.
|
| 9.Warehousing and Transportation |
In their compressed state cellulose sponges have the perfect requirements for warehousing and transportation. They are light weight and take less space, fantastic properties for low transportation and warehousing costs.
