Elkay Plastics Elkay Laundry Bag (4/CS)

These bags are engineered to dissolve completely in water temperatures of 140° F or higher. This ensures that the bag safely breaks down during the wash cycle, allowing for a completely hands-free and hygienic process without needing to open or empty the contents manually.

Yes, they are specifically designed for that purpose. The material is built to maintain its structural integrity even when holding wet or damp items for several hours, ensuring that your laundry remains securely contained until it reaches the wash.

Each bag includes an attached water-soluble tie tape. This integrated feature allows you to quickly and securely close the bag, minimizing your direct exposure to the contaminated contents inside.

Absolutely. These bags are ideal for hospitals, nursing homes, and clinics. They serve as a vital barrier between staff and potential contaminants, making them an essential tool for any facility requiring strict infection control and efficient linen handling.

Unlike traditional plastic bags that require manual emptying—thereby exposing staff to potential contaminants—these bags provide complete contamination protection. By placing the entire bag directly into the machine, you eliminate the risk of handling soiled linens throughout the entire process.

The bags are constructed with a 0.8-mil gauge thickness. This specific thickness was chosen to strike the perfect balance between the necessary flexibility for handling and the durability required to safely contain items in high-volume or clinical laundry environments.

Yes, the tie tape is made from the same water-soluble material as the bag itself. You do not need to worry about removing the tie before putting the bag into the laundry machine; everything is designed to dissolve completely during the wash process.

Yes, they are designed with a 25-gallon capacity and dimensions of 26 inches x 33 inches, which are intended to conform easily to standard commercial laundry hamper frames.

The material is designed for use in professional laundry environments where water temperatures can reach the required 140° F or above. As long as the laundry cycle meets these temperature requirements, the bags will dissolve safely and effectively.

Because the bags dissolve completely in water, they provide a hygienic and efficient alternative to traditional disposable plastic bags that would otherwise contribute to solid waste management issues in clinical settings. They streamline the laundering process by eliminating the need to handle and dispose of contaminated plastic separately.
