Wiping re-evaluated
Published: 18 June, 2015
NORTHWOOD HYGIENE PRODUCTS says its newly launched Perform range of wiping products has been developed following extensive research that have resulted in establishing new insights into wiper usage.
The company says the concept of matching wiper to task reduces the expense of both over-specifying and under-specifying the wiper requirement.
The key wiper requirements of absorbency, low linting, solvent resistance, non-abrasion, heat resistance and durability and bulk are not always all required on each and every wiping occasion. Likewise in the four major wiping categories of mopping, cleaning down equipment, surface preparation and polishing, the priority of the wiper features alters depending on the task in hand. There is no need to over-specify if the wiper use is restricted to mopping up spills, whereas cleaning a clutch-housing does demand durability and solvent resistance
