• Combining super absorbency, waterproofing and leak-protection into one.

• SILVADUR® is proven to be safe against the skin. Tests of bamboo, cotton and polyester treated with 10 times the recommended amount of SILVADUR® found no skin irritation or sensitization after multiple exposures.

• CORE PUL's contains a hidden waterproof layer, sandwiched between two outer fabrics; which provides additional protection for the waterproof film and increases the life of your product.
  

• Our Zorb three-dimensional engineered dimple pattern has great retention, superior hold, fast distribution of moisture and less leaking under compression.

• 100% eco-friendly, manufactured with no harmful chemicals or finishes in controlled conditions in American textile mills.

• CPSIA certified, meeting stringent standards by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission on lead and phthalates and flammability.

• Unique process permanently melt-bonds our specially-treated TPU film to the fabric without toxic solvents. The process emits no toxic waste or VOCs that are harmful to the environment.

• 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.

Lots of Layers = Lots of Absorbency

We pile on the layers with this fabric. Our Stay Dry Dimple LITE (3-layer fabric) is on one side, with our ProCool Performance Interlock fabric on the other side. In between is a hidden 1-mil polyurethane film that’s laminated and waterproof for complete leakproof protection.

Our ProCool interlock fabrics are made of polyester and premium hydrophobic fibers, further enhancing the fabric’s leak protection.

Zorb fabrics get more absorbent; pair this fabric with any of our Zorb 3D on the dimple side & use multiple layers of the 3D to increase your product’s overall absorbency. Our fabric absorbs 10 times its weight in two seconds and soaks up 20 times faster than bamboo, cotton, or hemp knits.

Keep Bacteria Away

This fabric contains SILVADUR Antimicrobial, which is designed to keep away bacteria, algae, or fungi from growing on your fabric! No one wants that, but it can happen with an excessive amount of sweat or moisture or body fluids. Not only does Silver repel bacteria, but it also keeps your fabric smelling fresh.

So Many Uses

The great thing about Zorb 4D fabrics is how many uses there are! We recommend using this fabric for the following:

Bed liners, bibs, burp cloths, cage liners, changing pads, cloth diapers, dog diapers, dish mats, gardening shoe covers, handkerchiefs, mattress pads, menstrual pads, nursing pads, pet beds, period panties, and pet potty pads.

Whether you’re gardening, taking care of your baby or an elderly person, or enjoying pet parenthood, this fabric is perfect!

V1 vs V2

The difference between the V1 & V2 versions is the fabric combination used to create the Zorb 4D Stay Dry Dimple CORE PUL fabric.

The V1 Zorb 4D fabric is made with the Zorb 3D Stay Dry Dimple LITE for fast absorption & stay dry feel, and a polyester backing with a hidden waterproof layer for leakproof protection.

The V2 Zorb 4D fabric is made with the Zorb 3D Stay Dry Dimple LITE for fast absorption & stay dry feel, and a lighter weight polyester backing along with a hidden waterproof layer for leakproof protection. We process the V2 fabric through an additional compression round to make the fabric slimmer.

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.
