recycling in the mop industry is new but in HIMESA nothing
can be further from the true.
Now, companies are embracing , due to media pressure and
influence a Green stance, which is great for all of us.

The purpose of this brochure is to give more information
about our mopyarns and why we are the fastest growing
textile movement in America.

Usually the thinner the yarn the less absorbent it is, but
thinner is more durable, and usually more expensive.
With a high loft or fatter yarn you can make a mop
that “looks bulkier” with less weight !!

RECYCLED PRODUCTS
GREEN is being heard a lot latelly, but we have always been GREEN - many of our traditional yarns have always contained a percentage of recycled product,
but now, we are proud to introduce products that are unique. The yarns presented in this section are FULLY GREEN, this means that every single component
of the yarn comes from either fully recycled, reconverted or reprocessed into a great product !!!
RECYCLED YARN: The Right Choice for our Planet...
We have a large variety because certain yarns are designed for an specific task. It’s important to understand that selecting the proper yarn will enable you to achieve the
highest productivity and efficiency .
Recycled Cotton Blend
Economical to use and offers excellent water absorption as well as retention for drying floors. Ideal fiber content for general cleaning with most diluted floor cleaners on a
variety of surfaces . Available in Natural white and in Colors.
Ecotex White and Ecotex Colors

post consumer polyester fiber, recycled cotton and reclaimed rayon fiber.

More “Green” Info...
Since 1953 our company has processed millions of pounds
of waste and textile byproducts and has been a leader for
the preservation of the environment.
In 1991 we started our sister company FIBRATEX
bringing in house the cotton recycling and
reconversion.
We procure waste from dozens of textile mills
in the U.S.A. and Latin America and reprocess into
clean usable fiber. We also have hundreds of collection operations in Central America
buying waste from T-shirt factories, this waste is recycled into clean white or color cotton !

As soon as it was invented in 1994 our company has purchased polyester fiber generated
from plastic bottles, not because of price but because of social responsability.
In 2008 a new sister company is born, TERRA POLYESTER S.A. this company will make our group
completely vertical , not only this but will allow us
maximum flexibility. This multimillion dollar
company will generate 48 million pounds

of polyester fiber from recycled Cola bottles in

HOUSEHOLD
WET MOPPING
Wet mopping or general purpose floor cleaning requires a combination of adequate performance and
economy. Cotton yarns or rayon blends are best choice of wet mops for this category.
INDUSTRIAL
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIY CLEANING
Industrial facility cleaning is a very complex application due to the variance of environments and needs. Rough surfaces, grease,
chemicals, abuse is not out of the ordinary. That is why HIMESA custom designs a variety of yarns for this usage.
Long staple yarns like rayon F, Acrilex Primario, Blendex, Acrilex colors are quite popular, as well as some cotton yarns but with extra
tight twist and thin, to be able to withstand the abuse.

COMMERCIAL CLEANING SERVICES
Commercial facilities cleaning and services have evolved and professionalized in the last decade, and HIMESA has developed
a series of yarns and mops that promote safe practices. No longer is necessary to carry super large mops (back breakers) now
a mid weight mop but with mid liquid retention, good release and a choice of mops depending on the type of job are imperative,
offering products like our Econo Acrilex, Our natural white Blendex yarns, and obviously our range of color cottons.
HEALTHCARE FACILITIY CLEANING
Healthcare facility cleaning is one of the most demanding of application for mops. Cross contaimination, repeat launderings,
accountability, fast drying times are of upmost improtance. We limit our recommendation to our high end mops like our Rayon F,
our color acrilex Line or our Acrilex Antimicrobial line.
FOOD SERVICE
Food Service cleaning applications are open to the broadest yarn options. Consumer practices and economy generally
define the policy for restaurant chains. Recommended uses range from low cost cotton to high end anitmicrobial yarns.
If your cusomers wants a limited life/use mop cotton mops are the obviouss choice, HIMESA gives you more choices since
it can offer a low cost cotton yarn in colors, for color coding situations. However, if repeat laundering is required, we
recommend one of our rayon blend, Acrilex blends or antimicrobial yarns. Each yarn offer its own special abilities.
RESILIENT FLOORS
The nemesis for a mop is a tough surface - and due to safety these floors are more and more utilized . For these rough surfaces
it is imperative to use specialized yarns like our 8 ply Rayon F or our extra thing 3.5/4 ply Rayon yarn. We also have specialized
strip mops that are made of woven cotton t-shirt material, specially designed for these surfaces.
FLOOR FINISHING APPLICATIONS
Floor finish applications require yarns that have low lint and superior absorption performance but a good release ability. There are
only a few yarns that meet these requirements, HIMESA makes several FINISH YARNS just for this like our acrilex Finish 1.5/4 ply and
our heavy duty 2/6 ply blue/white finish yarn.
