All Purpose Absorbent Wipes
Absorbent wipes and cloths are crucial in various industries and settings where spills and messes are common. These wipes quickly absorb liquids and oils, providing effective cleaning and containment.
In the industrial industry, some of the most popular TIDDOX absorbent wipes include oil-absorbing wipes, Rhino Wipes, and general-purpose absorbent pads (Hazpads). The oil-absorbing wipes are commonly used in automotive workshops, manufacturing plants, and other environments where hazardous materials, oil spills, or leaks are frequent. SuperMAX pads have a higher absorption capacity than regular wipes, making them suitable for soaking up large floor spills.
In the healthcare and aged care industry, soft absorbent wipes, such as incontinence wipes are popular. Omniwipes are designed to be highly absorbent with a soft texture for gentle wiping.Â
In the hospitality and food production industry, TIDDOX commercial-grade heavy-duty wipes are extra thick and extra absorbent. They are often used in conjunction with Maxi Wipes washcloths, which can absorb approximately seven times their own weight in liquids. Both products are colour-coded to easily identify separate areas and tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes wipes absorbent?
Wipes are absorbent due to the materials used in their construction. Most wipes are made from a combination of cellulose fibres and synthetic fibres. Cellulose fibres are derived from plants and have a high absorbency rate. These fibres can hold a large amount of liquid and prevent it from leaking back onto the surface being cleaned. Synthetic fibres, such as polyester or polypropylene, are often added to enhance the strength and durability of the wipes.Â
How absorbent are absorbent wipes compared to paper towels?
Many absorbent wipes, such as bamboo or microfiber, can be up to four times more porous than standard paper towels, allowing for more efficient cleaning and less waste. Absorbent wipes are designed to trap and hold dirt, dust, and grime, ensuring thorough cleaning unlike paper towels, which may spread dirt around or leave residue behind.Â
