Kimberly-Clark Professional™ unveils its range of rolled paper hand towels

A complete range of rolled paper hand towels, exclusive to the PBS (Proprietary Brand System), delivering uncompromising quality, hygiene and productivity!

The ongoing pandemic has clearly put paper hand towels back in the spotlight, as they are to date the most hygienic way to dry hands according to WHO recommendations. They are the best solution for avoiding any compromise between "Hygiene-Cleanliness-Comfort" on the one hand, and "Cost Reduction-Productivity-Sustainability" on the other. As part of the development of its hand hygiene solutions, Kimberly-Clark Professional™ (KCP) is pleased to present its range of high-performance PBS rolled paper hand towels, which are softer and stronger.

What makes these PBS rolled paper hand towels special is that they were developed to fit into the Aquarius® dispensers designed by KCP, together forming an exclusive system that ensures optimal dispensing of KCP consumables only, thanks to a mechanism that is unique on the market. Designed to improve user comfort, strengthen hygiene and better fight infections while keeping hands soft, this range consists of rolled hand towels from the KLEENEX® Ultra™, SCOTT® Control™ and SCOTT® Essential™ brands. With this range of rolled hand towels, available in High Capacity & Slimroll versions, KCP positions itself as the manufacturer offering the most complete, most effective, softest and most hygienic hand drying solution on the market today. Building on this position, KCP aims to improve the user experience in the washrooms of any venue welcoming the public and employees (healthcare centers, offices, companies, industries, Horeca, public institutions, schools, etc.).

Rolled hand towels made from recycled fiber, with impeccable design and quality to meet specific needs

In environments where hygiene is essential and where employees must wash their hands very frequently, the quality and softness of hand towels are indispensable. In addition to a composition of 100% recycled fiber for the Scott brand, meeting a sustainability requirement, the great strength of the KCP hand towel range is that it offers unrivaled hygiene, performance and productivity.

To meet all needs and offer users a clear, suitable range, KCP has chosen to organize its range around three major, well-known and established brands:
• Kleenex® Ultra™ rolled hand towels... for an unrivaled refreshing experience, comfort and cleanliness.
• SCOTT® Control™ rolled hand towels... for optimal hygiene and control of germ proliferation and contamination risks.
• SCOTT® Essential™ rolled hand towels... for optimal productivity in high-traffic areas.

Paper hand towels with exclusive technology for superior absorbency and strength

The paper hand towels in the PBS range prove to be very strong and absorb water faster than traditional hand towels, ensuring effective and quick hand drying. Even when wet, they do not tear in the hands, which helps reduce consumption and waste. These unique characteristics are achieved thanks to exclusive technologies developed by Kimberly-Clark Professional™:

- Airflex technology: reduces the amount of fiber used by up to 17% compared with conventional manufacturing processes and guarantees fast, effective and more hygienic hand drying, with towels that are very strong when wet.
- Compression: reduces storage space and transport by 18% to 50% compared with competing folded hand towel systems. KCP rolled hand towel systems offer 23% more autonomy per roll than equivalent competing systems.
- Stamp-embossing: increases user preference by 40%.

The most hygienic paper hand towel system on the market

The Aquarius™ hand towel dispensers that take the PBS range rolled paper hand towels allow optimal sheet-by-sheet dispensing and were designed to be the most hygienic and most compact on the market, with minimal maintenance. With no dust traps, Aquarius™ is an extremely easy dispenser to clean in a single movement thanks to the smooth finishes of the interior and exterior surfaces.

The Aquarius™ High Capacity unit and the Aquarius™ Slimroll™ dispenser feature end-of-roll management for continuous availability of hand towels and to prevent run-outs. Indeed, the innovative anti-run-out function of Aquarius™ hand towel dispensers makes it possible to place a replacement roll in the system before the original roll runs out, ensuring a smooth transition between rolls, limiting waste and making sure the user always has access to the product.
