Automotive Workshop Spunlace Degreasing Rags | Perforated Wood Pulp/PP Wipes

​

Weston Automotive Workshop Spunlace Degreasing Rags are perforated, tear-off spunlace nonwoven wipes made from a 70:30 wood pulp/polypropylene (PP) blend, engineered to quickly absorb oil, grease, coolant, and solvent in automotive workshops and industrial maintenance settings.

Supplied as a continuous roll with perforated (point-break) cuts, each sheet tears off cleanly to a ready-to-use 20 x 25 cm size - no scissors or dispenser required. The 50 gsm fabric is printed with a blue fish-scale pattern on a plain-weave spunlace base, giving it a flatter, lighter, more flexible hand-feel than the heavier embossed fish-scale version, while still delivering strong wet and dry wiping performance for degreasing, parts cleaning, and surface wipe-down tasks.

Key Features

1. Perforated roll format: Point-break perforations let users tear off single sheets on demand, reducing waste compared to fixed-size wipe stacks.
2. Lightweight, flexible texture: The printed (not embossed) fish-scale pattern keeps the fabric thin and pliable, making it easier to fold, wrap around tools, and reach into tight spaces than embossed alternatives.
3. High liquid absorption: A water absorption capacity of 6.0 g/g and a sink time of just 1 second mean the rag wets out and starts absorbing oil or coolant almost instantly.
4. Balanced strength: Machine-direction tensile strength of 38 N/5cm and cross-direction strength of 19 N/5cm keep the rag from tearing during scrubbing or wringing, even when saturated.
5. Low residual moisture: A drying loss of 5.4% supports consistent fabric weight and quality control.
6. Wood pulp/PP blend: The 70:30 fiber ratio balances the softness and absorbency of wood pulp with the wet strength and durability of PP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this rag be used with solvents like brake cleaner or degreaser chemicals?

The wood pulp/PP spunlace base is compatible with most common workshop solvents and degreasers used for wiping. For aggressive or specialty chemicals, we recommend confirming compatibility with our technical team, since chemical resistance can vary by solvent type and exposure time.

Is the perforated roll compatible with standard wall-mounted or countertop wiper dispensers?

Yes. The roll's core diameter and width can be matched to standard industrial wipe dispensers on request - let us know your dispenser model or specifications when ordering.

How does this printed fish-scale version compare to the embossed fish-scale rag in real-world use?

The printed version is thinner and more flexible, so it drapes and folds more easily around parts and tools, while the embossed version has more loft and cushioning, which some users prefer for scrubbing textured or heavily soiled surfaces. Both share the same fiber blend and absorbency performance.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom colors or patterns?

MOQs vary by customization type (color change vs. new pattern engraving/printing setup). Contact info@westonmanufacturing.com with your target size, color, and pattern for a specific MOQ and lead time.

Can the rags be supplied in bulk jumbo rolls instead of pre-cut perforated rolls?

Yes. The base fabric is available as jumbo rolls at 222 cm width for customers who convert or cut the material themselves, in addition to the finished perforated roll format.
