Heavy-Duty Oil-Absorbing Shop Wipes | Wood Pulp + PET Low-Lint Nonwoven Wipes

These heavy-duty shop wipes are made from a wood pulp and PET nonwoven blend designed for oil absorption, durability, and low-lint cleaning performance. They are suitable for both household and industrial wiping tasks, including grease removal, surface cleaning, and workshop maintenance.

Key Features

• Wood pulp + PET blend for balanced absorbency and strength.
• Low-lint surface for cleaner wiping results.
• Cross-lapped structure for more even MD/CD performance.
• Suitable for oil, water, and general liquid absorption.
• Tear-resistant and flexible for wet or dry use.
• Optional customization for size, perforation, packaging, and treatments.

Technical Specifications

Wood Pulp vs. Polyester Wipes: Which Absorbs More Oil?

Fiber ratio is the single biggest driver of absorbency and durability in a spunlace wipe. Wood pulp fibers are hydrophilic and highly absorbent but weak and prone to linting on their own; polyester fibers are strong, low-lint, and durable but absorb far less on their own. Blending the two - as in this 54/46 formulation - is standard practice for balancing oil/liquid uptake against tear resistance.

Performance Highlights

This wipe shows strong absorption performance with a sink time of 1 second and a water absorbing capacity of 5.1 g/g, which supports fast uptake of liquid and oil-based contamination.Its tensile strength of 163 N/5cm in MD and 43 N/5cm in CD indicates a durable structure for wiping, scrubbing, and repeated handling.The neutral pH and low drying loss make it suitable for general cleaning use across household and industrial environments.

Applications

1. Kitchen oil and grease wiping.
2. Stove, countertop, and appliance cleaning.
3. Workshop and machinery maintenance.
4. Automotive detailing and surface wiping.
5. Commercial janitorial cleaning.
6. Spill control and routine surface maintenance.

Customization & Optional Treatments

FAQ

Q1: What is the material composition of this shop wipe?

It is made from 54% wood pulp and 46% PET.

Q2: Is this wipe suitable for oil absorption?

Yes. The product has strong absorbency, a sink time of 1 second, and a water absorbing capacity of 5.1 g/g, which supports fast liquid pickup.

Q3: Is the wipe low lint?

Yes. The wood pulp and PET structure is designed for reliable wiping performance with lower lint generation than basic paper wipes.

Q4: What is the MOQ and lead time?

MOQ varies depending on whether custom embossing, functional treatments (hydrophobic/flame-retardant), or non-standard dimensions are required. Lead time depends on order size and customization level. For a quote based on your specifications and test report requirements, contact info@westonmanufacturing.com.

Q5: Can the wipes be reused or washed?

Yes, in most cases. Because the wipe has a measured MD tensile strength of 163 N/5cm and CD elongation of 145.9%, it holds up to multiple wash-and-reuse cycles better than pure wood pulp wipes, which typically break down after one or two washes. Reusability in practice depends on the type of fluid absorbed and washing conditions.

Extended Options from Weston Nonwoven
