Wet Wipes Raw Material For Sale

What raw materials are wet wipes made of?

In a broad definition, wet wipe raw materials refer not merely to the substrate. Apart from the tissue material, some wet wipes ingredients make wipes “wet”; the airtight wrapper that packs the wet tissue; the sticker on the top surface of the wet wipes pouch that can be opened and closed for multiple uses; the flip cap that helps for a water loss and the hot melt glue that sticks the lid to the wet wipes pouch.

To sum up, wet wipes are generally made of 7 types of raw materials:

1. Substrate: Nonwoven fabric
2. Wrapper: laminated packaging foil
3. Wet wipes ingredients
4. Re-sealable sticker
5. Plastic lid/cap
6. Lid label
7. Hot melt glue

What is the price for each raw material of wet wipes?

It would be too general a question to ask for the price of wet wipe raw materials from any raw material supplier.

The price of any wet wipe materials can be quoted only after the wet wipe raw material supplier is informed of the required material specifications, and the price may differ significantly based on different quality standards. In other words, it is more critical to understand what is specifically available on the market before making the proper selection and asking for an accurate price.

For instance, the price of nonwoven wet wipes fabric is determined by its fiber blend ratio, thickness, pattern types, and other factors. Wet wipe ingredients are priced according to the quality and function of each raw ingredient that is mixed. The price of the flip cap for wet wipes is an indicator of its raw material, weight, shape, and size. As for the re-sealable sticker, it is the size and material that make the difference. The bigger the size, the higher the price.

However, as a veteran expert in the wet wipes manufacturing industry, we can hereby provide a ballpark pricing range for each wet wipe raw material for your reference.

 

Here is a list of wet wipes’ raw materials and typical price ranges:

 

1. Nonwoven fabric for wet wipes is priced at around $ 1.40/kg to $4.00/kg.
2. Wet Wipes Wrapper varies dramatically from supplier to supplier. Our average customer typically spends between $3/kg and $ 4.50/kg on packaging film for wet wipes. However, it’s not uncommon to see people spend a lot more, sometimes $ 4.80/kg or $5/kg.

3. Wet wipes ingredients are sold mainly in ready-to-use concentrate (formulation). Customers can purchase this to mix with pure water during the manufacturing process of wet wipes. It could start at around $ 6 per kilogram and reach as high as $15 per kilogram. What matters most behind the unit price is the dosage of each concentrate provided by different suppliers. Dosage can significantly impact the cost structure of a pack of wet wipes.
4. The average price of a re-sealable sticker or lid label for wet wipes could range from $0.003/pc to $0.013/pc, with its size playing a significant role in the price difference.
5. The flip cap for wet wipes could range from $0.018 per piece to $0.045 per piece, depending on the lid size and unit weight.
6. Hot melt glue typically costs between $3.80/kg and $5.80/kg, which may lead to different performance outcomes.

What are the common ingredients in wet wipes?

Is it just water?

Wipes contain various ingredients with different functions that primarily serve to keep the wipe moist and aid in cleaning.

Take any pack of wet wipes from the market and check the ingredients list on the package. You will find out that water (Aqua) always tops the list. Most people are unaware that the solution used to make wipes moist is composed of 99% water. Water is the primary ingredient, serving as both a carrier and diluent for the other ingredients. The diagram below outlines a list of ingredients typically found in wet wipes.

What else is in the liquid of wet wipes?

1. Preservatives：

Preservatives are the subject of negative press in the media, but they play an important role in wet wipe products. The function of a preservative system is to combat bacteria in wet wipes made with a high water content, inhibit the growth of mold, harmful microbes, or fungus, and keep the wipes shelf-stable.

Note that as consumers become more aware of the ingredients in their products and their potential hazards, there is a growing trend for products to contain no controversial preservative ingredients. In this case, more wet wipes manufacturers are cautious about selecting gentle, mild preservatives that can reduce potential sensitivity or irritation on human skin while preventing product contamination.

In the personal care industry, the European Union (EU) maintains a list of approved preservative chemicals, known as Annex V of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. High-quality wet wipes manufacturers can refer to the list to select preservatives that are allowed for use in wipes (baby wipes in particular) to ensure the safety and efficacy of the wipes. The ingredients on the list are recognized for their antimicrobial properties and safe usage concentrations.

Commonly selected preservative Ingredients are ( & not limited to ):

• Sodium Benzoate
• Phenoxyethanol
• 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1.3-Diol
• Chlorphenesin
• Benzalkonium chloride

Controversial preservative ingredients with allergenicity and irritation potential to be avoided:

• Methylisothiazolinone
• Formaldehyde releasing preservatives
• Parabens

2. Surfactants

Surfactants are the molecules within the formulation that have cleaning properties. The role of surfactants is to lower the surface tension of water, making it easier to remove dirt or oily soil from surfaces and the skin.

Common surfactants found in mainstream baby wipes

• Coco-glucoside
• PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil
• Polysorbate 20

3. PH adjusters

PH adjusters such as Citric Acid or Sodium Citrate are common in skin care wet wipes, where you will often see “PH Balanced” on the packaging. A balanced PH is set around 4.5-5.5, which is close to that of healthy skin.

The adjustment of formulation pH serves two critical purposes—to prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria in the formulation and to help form healthy skin barriers.

4. Humectants

Formulators use Humectants such as propylene glycol and glycerine to deliver moisturization benefits to the skin. Humectants are typically found in skin care products such as makeup removal wipes, hand wipes or baby wipes.

5. Fragrance

For a wipe to deliver a pleasant scent, Fragrance ingredients that are made of aroma compounds are added to the formulation. Fragrance can also help mask body odors or cover up the undesirable scent of other ingredients. However, apart from preservatives, the fragrance is also notably viewed by consumers as a clinically relevant allergen in wipes, and fragrance-free wipes have won popularity with consumers over recent years.

Other skin benefits agents, such as emollients, emulsifiers, and antioxidants, can also be used as market differentiators to enhance consumer appeal. Natural ingredients and vitamins known to be gentle on the skin may also be added, including Aloe Vera, grapefruit seed extract, Chamomilla Recutita, and vitamin E derivatives.

When we talk about controversial, harsh, harmful or toxic ingredients in wet wipes, what do they actually mean?

Wet wipes Ingredients linked to skin irritation, cancer, endocrine disruption, developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity and more.

In general, wet wipe ingredients should be carefully selected and properly formulated based on their safety profile, allergenicity, tolerability, effective concentration, desired functions, and consumer expectations.

If you do not have a wet wipes formulator in-house yet, ensure you find a reliable wet wipes ingredient supplier to help you create safe and properly formulated wipes.

Do we need to prepare the wet wipes formulation ourselves?

There are two common practices for getting wet wipes formulations:

• Buy ready-to-use wet wipes formulations from the market. The wet wipes formulation supplier will formulate the wipes according to your application, and the formulations will be supplied in a concentrated format, which can be mixed with purified water during the wet wipes manufacturing process. Note that many suppliers can only supply wet wipes ingredients, requiring customers to formulate them themselves. If you do not have a formulator in-house, it is crucial to find a reliable wet wipes formulation supplier with a strong scientific research background.
• In the long run, a wet wipes manufacturer should consider hiring a chemist to make wet wipes formulation in-house. This is also where the core competitive advantage comes from for market differentiation.
