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

• 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.

• Features SILVADUR™ Antimicrobial to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi and algae on the fabric, control bad odors and provide intelligent freshness protection.

• 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.

Super Absorbent Fabric

Our Zorb fabrics are super absorbent, and this one is no exception. With Our 3D Organic Cotton Dimple (3-layer) fabric is on one side, and our ProECO Organic Cotton Jersey LITE fabric is on the other.

Finally, we laminated a hidden, waterproof 1-mil polyurethane film between the layers to make it completely waterproof. We combined super absorbency, waterproof, and leak-proof features into one fabric.

How absorbent is our fabric? It can absorb ten times its weight in two seconds and soaks up 20 times faster than bamboo, cotton, or hemp knits.

Safe for Your Skin

We take your skin seriously. We understand skin sensitivities and unwanted chemicals. For this reason, we produce our fabric in controlled conditions in American textile mills. We use a unique process that melts and bonds our specially-treated TPU film to our fabrics. No toxic solvents, waste, or VOCs are involved in producing our fabrics.

Our fabric also features SILVADUR Antimicrobial, which prevents bacteria, fungi, or algae from growing. It also keeps odor under control and helps the fabric stay fresh. Worried about allergies or skin sensitivity? We tested SILVADUR on bamboo, cotton, and polyester to ensure it’s safe for the skin. We even tested ten times the recommended amount multiple times to be extra safe.

Various Uses for Your Products

There are so many different things you can use this fabric for. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Use our fabric for activewear, bed liners, bibs, burp cloths, cage liners, changing pads, cloth diapers, dish mats, dog diapers, gardening shoe covers, handkerchiefs, mattress pads, menstrual pads, nursing pads, period panties, pet beds, and pet potty pads.

You can also combine Zorb 4D fabrics with Zorb 3D fabrics to supercharge how absorbent your product is. Use Zorb 3D on the dimple side of the 4D for this to work for your product.

V1 vs V2

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

The V1 Zorb 4D fabric is made with the Zorb 3D Organic Cotton Dimple for maximum absorbency, and a polyester backing with a hidden waterproof layer for leakproof protection.

The V2 Zorb 4D fabric is made with the Zorb 3D Organic Cotton Dimple for maximum absorbency, and a organic cotton backing with a hidden waterproof layer for leakproof protection - making this a 100% organic cotton fabric

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.

UPF Rating: 50+

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.
