In critical environments from healthcare and cleanrooms to food manufacturing and industrial hygiene, the quality of the wipe you use can make a significant difference. Whether it’s maintaining strict infection control standards or supporting effective contamination removal, the material behind the wipe must perform under pressure.
At Pal International, we understand that reliability starts at the source, with the substrate itself. That’s why Tritex® remains a cornerstone in our range of high-performance wipe materials. First introduced in 2012 as part of our Pal TX launch, Tritex® was refined with input from one of the world’s leading food manufacturers to ensure it met the specific hygiene demands of food production environments. As the first nonwoven substrate of its kind, it helped set the benchmark for quality and continues to exemplify what reliable, consistent performance looks like today.
A Material Engineered for High-Stakes Environments
Tritex® is made using a high-precision process that bonds layers of spunbond and meltblown polypropylene fibres together using heat and not chemical adhesives. This process not only enhances the structural integrity of the material, but also ensures consistency across every batch.
Once the base layers are bonded, a hydrophilic coating is applied. This final step is crucial, it ensures the wipe absorbs and releases liquid evenly, making it ideal for disinfectants, cleaning agents, and medical-grade solutions.
The result is a 100% synthetic substrate that is:
- Exceptionally strong in both directions (across and along the wipe)
- Very low-linting, virtually eliminating the risk of fibre contamination
- Efficient in fluid release, ensuring solution reaches the surface instead of being held back by the fibres
These qualities make Tritex® ideal for environments where cleanliness, material integrity, and reliability are non-negotiable.
Built on Experience. Proven Through Performance.
Tritex® is not just another wipe material, it is the culmination of years of research, testing, and refinement. Its design was driven by the real-world challenges faced by professionals in demanding sectors.
When Tritex® was first introduced, it represented a step-change in substrate innovation. It allowed wipes to deliver active ingredients more effectively, while maintaining a low-lint profile and exceptional tensile strength. These qualities made it a go-to choice for healthcare professionals, facilities teams, and industrial users alike and they still do.
As standards have continued to evolve, Tritex® has remained ahead of the curve. Its consistent performance, batch-to-batch quality, and dependable structure are a testament to our commitment to manufacturing excellence.
A Benchmark Others Aspire To
In any sector, quality speaks for itself and inevitably, it sets a standard others aim to follow.
In recent years, we’ve seen the emergence of various nonwoven wipe materials on the market that may appear similar at first glance. But appearance alone doesn’t define performance. The structure, coating process, and fibre integrity behind Tritex® are the result of decades of experience and a deep understanding of hygiene-critical applications.
Equally important is how the nonwoven material interacts with the chemistry it carries at Pal International, we carefully design and test our products to ensure the Tritex® substrate and active solutions work synergistically, delivering optimal performance and consistent results.
While other materials may offer lower-cost options, they often lack the consistency, strength, or fluid management properties required for high-performance wiping. Tritex® continues to be trusted in environments where the stakes are simply too high for compromise.
We believe that true quality isn’t just about meeting expectations it’s about exceeding them, every time.
The Right Choice, Every Time
When you choose Tritex®, you’re not just selecting a wipe substrate — you’re investing in a material that:
- Has been proven across more than a decade of use.
- Delivers reliable performance in high-risk environments
- Is backed by the expertise and support of Pal International
Whether you’re in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, food processing, or industrial cleaning, Tritex® offers peace of mind knowing your wipe will perform exactly as expected, when it matters most.
Tritex® in Use: A Versatile Performer
Because of its strength, low linting, and fluid-handling characteristics, Tritex® is used in a wide range of Pal wipe products from surface disinfectants to multi-purpose cleaners. Its versatility means it can support infection prevention protocols just as effectively as it supports industrial decontamination tasks.
In every format, Tritex® continues to deliver the same core promise: to provide a consistently high standard of infection control.
Trusted. Tested. Tritex®.
As the original 100% polypropylene nonwoven material of its kind, Tritex® continues to lead the way not just because of where it started, but because of how it has evolved.
Today, Tritex® includes up to 30% recycled content, supporting more sustainable choices without compromising on performance. It is also OEKO-TEX Standard 100 approved, meaning it has been independently tested and verified to be free from harmful substances, a key reassurance for hygiene-critical sectors.
At Pal International, we remain committed to continuous innovation, product integrity, and environmental responsibility. Tritex® is just one example of how this commitment translates into high-performance materials that support safer, cleaner, and more sustainable environments for our customers around the world.
