All Zorb fabrics are super absorbent by virtue of their knitting construction; they are not made with SAP (super absorbent polymers), so their super absorbency lasts for the lifetime of the fabric.
Ideal On Its Own
This fabric can be used on its own. While you can interline it, you don’t need to, which can cut down on costs and increase the product’s performance while being environmentally friendly. Additionally, this fabric reduces shrinkage, so you get more for less.
Ever-Increasing Absorbency
The more Zorb fabric you use, the more absorbent it is. There’s no limit to how many layers you can use. Because two layers of Zorb replace 9 layers of flannel, 7 layers of french terry, and 6 layers of organic fleece, you can dress more comfortably while staying warm and dry.
USA Exacting Requirements
This fabric is engineered to meet exacting USA requirements; it’s the highest quality-assured organic fabric on the market, which means peace of mind for everyone. Plus, Zorb doesn’t contain super absorbent polymers, so their super absorbency lasts as long as the fabric does.
Maximum Benefits, Minimal Shrinkage
Our pioneered Ready-AbZORB technology ensures this organic fabric has maximum absorbency with minimal shrinkage.
This fabric is perfect for single-layer pre-folds, soakers, changing pads, fitted diapers, blankets, bibs, burp cloths, play mats, medical products, and incontinence products. It can be used for so many different purposes.
No matter what your product is, Zorb can help you design it.

Important Note about Shrinkage
All natural fiber knits will shrink further. Percent shrinkage has been tested in a controlled lab. It may vary under different wash/dry conditions and from batch to batch. It is recommended to test shrinkage on a small piece first and then pre-wash whole yardage at the setting that your finished stitched item will be washed.

Important Note about UPF Ratings:
Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, a UPF 50 fabric blocks 98 % of the sun’s rays and allows 2% (1/50th) to penetrate, thus reducing your exposure risk significantly. A UPF 30 fabric blocks 97% of UV rays and allows roughly 3% of UV transmission. UPF 15 indicates that the fabric blocks roughly 93% of UV rays and allows about 7% of available UV radiation to pass through.
UPF 10 to 30 = Fair Protection
UPF 30 to 50 = Good Protection
UPS 50+ = Excellent Protection

Important Note about Absorbency in 3D & 4D Zorb fabrics:
These fabrics are designed to be absorbent and made without the use of any chemicals during manufacturing. Our Ready-AbZorb process helps eliminate the need for pre-washing for absorption and also reduces the shrinkage. However the fabrics are made in large batch sizes on industrial machines and sometimes the fabric may not absorb as desired from when you receive it, or sometimes after cutting and sewing. In such cases, we recommend running the fabric through a hot wash and medium dry cycle; this will help remove any handling residues and activate the super absorbent fibers that might have been affected by handling.
