Zorb Original is the absorbent fabric that started it all. The amazingly absorbent fabric that revolutionized absorbency in reusable products; that has been the industry standard in the incontinence undergarment industry for decades; that has stood the test of time and continues to rank number one in super absorbent fabrics. The fabric that has created the brand, Zorb!
It is an interlining material engineered from entangled fibers to be stitched between two fabrics to make durable absorbent products. Its exceptional wicking and absorbency has since found numerous other uses such as seed starting, low cost solar desalination stills for producing fresh water, hydroponics, torches, wrapping flowers and many more.
