Materials and application scenarios of industrial cleaning wipes
- 2025-04-25
Industrial cleaning scenarios have strict requirements on the materials of wipes, and they must take into account water absorption, wear resistance, safety and cost-effectiveness. The following are the current 5 mainstream industrial cleaning wipe materials and their characteristics:
1. Polyester wipes (polyester)
Material characteristics: Made of 100% polyester fiber, it is resistant to high temperature, chemical corrosion, and has outstanding tear resistance.
Application scenarios: Suitable for heavy oil cleaning, such as automobile manufacturing, mechanical maintenance and other environments. For example, a car manufacturer uses polyester wipes to clean engine oil stains, and the efficiency of a single wipe is increased by 40%.
2. Microfiber wipes
Material characteristics: The fiber diameter is less than 1 micron (only 1/100 of a hair), and the porous structure brings ultra-high water absorption (up to more than 80%), and does not shed hair.
Application scenarios: Precision instrument cleaning (such as semiconductor wafers), optical lens wiping. After a certain electronics company adopted microfiber cloth, the surface scratch rate of the product was reduced by 90%.
3. Spunlace nonwovens
Material characteristics: The fibers are consolidated by high-pressure spunlace technology, which is both soft and highly absorbent, and the degradation rate exceeds 92% in 28 days.
Application scenarios: Disinfection of medical equipment and cleaning of food processing equipment. For example, a hospital uses it to replace traditional cotton cloth, and the amount of bacterial residue is reduced by 99.8%.
4. Meltblown nonwovens
Material characteristics: The fiber diameter is 0.5-10 microns, the porosity is as high as 80%, and the oil absorption is 20 times its own weight.
Application scenarios: Petrochemical leakage treatment, machine tool oil recovery. After a refinery used it, the cost of waste oil recovery was reduced by 35%.
5. Composite nonwovens
Material characteristics: Combining spunbond (high strength) and meltblown (strong oil absorption) processes to achieve the dual advantages of "strong + high dirt absorption".
Application scenarios: Aerospace equipment maintenance, high-end laboratory cleaning. A certain aircraft maintenance company reported that the service life of a single wipe was extended by 3 times.
