Suominen’s HYDRASPUN® family of dispersible products

Suominen has a long history in developing and producing highly dispersible materials of premium quality. Our experience with dispersible products has enabled us to receive the Fine to Flush Manufacturer’s Generic Certificate for our newest dispersible product HYDRASPUN® Royal.

Suominen developed the first dispersible products in the market already back in 1997. Since then, Suominen has continued to develop its HYDRASPUN® moist toilet tissue family that delivers value and performance and are also safe to flush. Suominen’s HYDRASPUN product line meets and exceeds the standards set for flushable products by the industry associations EDANA and INDA.

“HYDRASPUN® products represent the highest standard for flushable wipes. They offer dependable strength, premium softness for hand and skin contact and assurance of dispersibility” says Andrew Charleston, Category Manager, Household.

Suominen’s latest innovation meets the most demanding requirements for flushables

HYDRASPUN® Royal is the newest addition to Suominen’s HYDRASPUN® product family. Made completely from cellulosic-based raw materials, it is a premium product with high performance tailored to the UK market and meeting Water UK’s latest flushability standards behind Fine to Flush certification.

Earlier this year, HYDRASPUN® Royal passed all the Fine to Flush tests conducted by Water Research Centre Limited, a third-party laboratory in the UK.

“With this approval, Suominen is the first nonwoven substrate manufacturer to receive the Fine to Flush Manufacturer’s Generic Certificate from Water UK” tells Andrew Charleston, Category Manager, Household
