Wypalls

Wypall Paper Wipers, also called Wypalls, are available from http://www.eaglesupply.biz/.Many people, especially car & truck enthusiasts who want only the best, are questioning the use of old laundered rags and towels for cleaning their vehicle, or doing critical engine work. Rags or used towels can contain contaminants that harm paint, cause scratches, leave lint or residue on the surface.The Kimberly Clark company has an extensive line of pure, contaminant-free disposable wipers. They are named "Wypalls" and come in many sizes, styles, and weights to serve many different tasks in the home, garage, and shop. Here is a description of the various wipers and towels and recommended uses for each one.The Wypall L20 Kimtowel is a "limited use" disposable paper wiper. The L20 is a multi-ply towel with one side smooth and one side textured for high absorbtion and cleaning power. It has no binders or glues, which allow for a wide range of cleanup and soak up tasks without reacting to solvents, or causing stains or smearing. The L20 is good for quickly soaking up the heaviest of spills. The L20 is excellent for engine work, parts and tool clean-up, and general wiping and lint-free cleaning of glass and fine surfaces.The Wypall L30 Economizer offers the light weight DRC (Double Re-Creped) technology at a great everyday value. This unique process gives it cloth-like softness, while its reinforced grid provides strength for wet surface wiping and cleaning. The L30 also has no binders or glues, giving it solvent-resistance and good absorbancy. It's ideal for a variety of light-duty maintenance, cleaning, and wiping chores. It is strong enough to be used in auto shops and garages, yet will not scratch fine surfaces.The Wypall L40 All Purpose Wiper has been America's favorite for over 20 years. It also has the DRC technology and is soft, cushiony, and highly absorbent. The inner layer of sponge-like cells easily absorb liquids, and are tough enough for scrubbing and engine work, yet soft enough to use for cleaning & polishing, and even wiping the hands and face. A great all-purpose towel for use in the garage and home.The Wypall X50 uses the "Hydroknit" technology developed by Kimberly-Clark. Designed to out-perform cloth rags, These heavy duty "Teri" wipers set a new, higher standard in disposable wipers. There are no adhesives used to bind the polypropylene reinforcement to the soft outer layers. This creates a soft, absorbant, yet tough wiper. They will leave no residue on fine surfaces, yet can be used with degreasers and solvents for tough jobs.The Wypall X60, very similar to the X50 but slightly heavier, also uses Hydroknit technology and therefore has the same lack of residue and usability with solvents. This towel, both soft and tough, is made for general wiping, cleaning, and polishing, and is designed to replace lightweight rags and towels. The X60 is available in pop-up boxes, 1/4 fold packs, flat sheets, small rolls, and jumbo rolls for large shops.The X70 Workhorse has what it takes to tackle heavy-duty jobs usually handled by cloth rags and towels. The X70 will give long lasting performance that extends usage and reduces waste. Pound for pound, it absorbs more oil and water than cloth rags and will clean oil, grease, and grime, and can be used with degreasers and solvents. The X70 is made to be reused several times - this reduces consumption in the shop, and provides an economical alternative to scrap rags and shop towels.The X80 ShopPro Towel with Hydroknit technology gives the strength of rental shop towels, only more consistent and always new and fresh. Engineered to feel like cloth and work even better, the X80 towel absorbs oil & water faster than laundered shop towels. There are no holes, strings, or danger of metal chips or residue like laundered rags or towels. The X80 maintains strength in solvents, and is excellent for cleaning, polishing, prepping surfaces for painting, as well as degreasing and cleaning rough surfaces.More information on Wypalls, automotive detailing products, hand cleaners, and industrial chemicals can be found at http://www.eaglesupply.biz/
