Get your hands on new towels

Kimberly-Clark has launched a new paper towel product that uses a new patented technology allowing them to absorb water up to 20 times faster than conventional paper towels. The AIRFLEX technology takes hand towels to a whole new level of performance,” said Kimberly-Clark Professional marketing manager Matthew Trute. The technology creates absorbency cells in every towel which drink up water fast for more effective hand drying. The towels are also up to 50 per cent stronger when wet, while at the same time much whiter, with a softer texture. The result is better hand drying, improved hygiene, less waste and a tidier washroom. For more information call 1800 647 994.
